Whites making late dash for wooden spoon
match reports back due to popular demand (well Kirk asked).
the Whites arent setting the world on fire. Since the Point massacre its been a stalemate with the Razorbacks, a 1-0 loss to Uni, followed by an outrageous 7-3 pumping from the last places Foxes. Down 6-1 at halftime, but the ball was only in our half 3 times. Strange.
Yesterday saw the roadtrip to Jamberoo, which started at 15 players at 8am but was reduced to 11 by 10 minutes into the game. Andres social life forced him out, GG didnt show up, Mark's achilles went again and Doug, courageous Doug, done his hammy again in the warm up, so started on the bench on the proviso to play but "not kick the ball". Strange way to play football, but whats he do when he gets on? Takes a free kick then walks off.
Jamberoo scored after 5 mins with their ex-premier league striker scorching onto a through ball and calmy tapping around Dennis. Crap, here we go again, I thought, remembering our previous 5-0 outing against these guys, with this bloke scoring 4. Jono then became Maximus and decided "thou shall not pass me again, even if I have to foul thee". By god he was as good as his word and superstar striker didnt go anywhere without the 5'4'' central defender in his pocket. Or under him after taking his legs out.
Meanwhile Al and the worlds oldest left winger Kirky where being traumatised by what looked like superstars younger (and faster) brother down the right flank. Inbetween garden building I'm sure Al will be seeing this blokes face in his coffee this week. Somehow we kept it to 1-0 at the interval. I cant remember any of our chances causing their goalie much concern.
Onto the second half. We kept plugging away, with Hucky playing his best match ever at right back and Rocket patrolling the middle like a hedgehog. Keith, SteveB and Slugger kept working down the right, hoping AB would stay on the left out of the way, and Kirk kept covering Al. Fraser showed he is still improving every match with a fine performance in centre defence.
Jamberoo then decided that we werent much of a threat and sent their reserves to the pub. On the 65 minute mark they created a sweeping move that started at left back, passed through 8 sets of feet and was finished by the right winger with a blistering 25m shot across Dennis. Could only stand and applaud.
They got another soon after, wasnt memorable so dont remember it. 3-0 down the Whites get their best chance. A clearance from Dennis is sublimely touched on by SteveB. AB gets to the ball before their sweeper, turns him inside out then offloads to big Steve who drills it from the right side of the box. Keeper pulls off a fine save, parries towards Keith who overuns it, AB follows up and blasts 15m over the cross bar from 5m out.
Slugger has one last 40m speccy, Ref "I dont walk out of the middle circle" blows fulltime, and the Whites are still winless for 11 matches. 6 games to go, pretty much against the top 6 teams. Happy days!
A few positives. Hucky might find himself at right back permanently, Keith ran the last of his non-cigarette induced emphysema out, we all got to play 90 mins, and the beer was cold.
