The Whites played 90 minutes of good football over the doubleheader weekend, the second half against Azzuri and the first half yesterday against Bally. The 4-1 win on saturday had us brimming with confidence for our match against the second placed Crows.
Goals from Eco-warrior, who finally scored from a long range speccy after trying all year and Sick Note with a fine "backer" from a metre out gave the Whites a 2-0 lead at half time. Phil and AB then kept up the race for the golden boot with one each to give us a 4-0 lead, with Azzuri getting a consolation with a fine 25 metre free kick going over the ungloved hand of Dennis.
Azzuri didnt have their hearts in it after halftime, with 2 blokes leaving and another limping off with a hamstring injury. Im suprised any of them showed up for yesterdays match against the Maroons.
We started like a house on fire against Bally. Would the result have been different if my shot in the 10th minute gone in rather than hitting the post? Who knows. We had the better of the first half, the midfield playing out of their skins, tackling anything that moved. Then in the 44th minute, Mr NSL pulls out his party trick of blasting the ball into the back of an opposition player in the box and screaming his head off for a penalty. Mr "I'm easily influenced" Referee duly obliges and its 1-0 at halftime, although Dennis nearly saved the penalty.
Thats it, no comment on the second half.
Our last match of the season next week, at home to Fenhill 1pm. Talk yesterday of cheering on the maroons (with maybe a quiet beer or two) then beers, banter and a bit of tucker at the S/W Bowlo should make our final game quite enjoyable.
