Maroons, looked like Dudley Moore to Shellharbour's Bo Derek

The Maroons started with 10 and Shellharbour finished with 10. Unfortunately ours were players and theírs were goals. Any positives? Well it might have been 16 if Shellharbour hadn't been so wasteful, hitting the bar, blazing over from five yards, shooting narrowly wide a few times. We were 4-0 down inside 15 minutes, by which time we had the only 11 players we were to have all day in place. The other team was slick, hard had reinforcements and ran us stupid. They got two penalties (in Hack down Vinnie the Maroons now have an answer to Handball Dave)  and scored some fine goals, many from outside the area high into the net. We scored the last goal of the game - Ben's first for the club and reward for being about our only player able to live up to Shellharbour's pace. Tellingly it was our only shot on target, the same number as the Shellharbour goalie had himself, having converted a first half penalty for 5-0. On a day of records - the worst ever defeat by a Coledale senior team - this was the worst moment. Not even half time and the other team and their supporters laughing at us as their 80 year old keeper hobbled forward to score from the spot. Next week, the Makos with hopefully more than 11 players.
