SHANE DISGARDS THE GLOVES TO SINK THE YELLOWS
Colours: Rupert, Mark Abs, Mark, John, Paul B, Felix, James, Shane
Yellows: Rob, TJ, Tony, Badge, Jimmer, Rich, Heath, Scott
Score: Yellows 2 4 Colurs
Credit where credit is due. Shane turns up most weeks and puts the gloves straight on and stands between the sticks without a moan or a whimper throwing himself around like a leaping salmon. Goalkeeping is not the most favoured position and when you are in goal and want to come out the whole team suddenly seemed to have caught a contagious hearing disorder. Well Shane did manage to get out, hold the ball up in true Shearer style and then bury the ball with a little spin to make the score 3-2.
It all started so well for the Yellows who went into a 2 goal lead, profiting from two defences errors. In fact they did not look like surrendering this lead as whatever the Colours did they could not force it in, but a lack of focus cost the Yellows and the Colours drew level through a Mark goal and a scrambled effort where it was hard to ascertain who scored it. Then came the Shane goal, followed by a super strike by Mark at the death to seal the win.
They say things come in three and there were certainly three strange things you will probably not see too often on a Tuesday night.
1. Shane's rare goal (sorry Shilts)
2. Mark Abs turning up two weeks in a row. After the game John pointed out that it has not rained on a Tuesday for 2 weeks, which could explain this.
3. Felix doing his impression of a Cruyff turn and did Rich a kipper.
Man of the Match: It was a close one this week with some good performances but it goes to Mark Abs. After an indifferent game last week he was back to his best with some good passing, touches and generally buzzed around like a bee looking for a decent flower. One highlight was right at the beginning of the game when he beat about 3 defenders and came back and beat them again but failed to beat the keeper. It was a shame the Soccer AM were not there as they had some show boating footage. Mind you the other Mark must think they are watching, count the back heels.

Haha.. What a cheek! Denied my hat-trick by sub-standard reporting...
The score was 4-2.. We had the scramble goal [claimed by me :), a beautiful curler (of course) I feel was worth a mention - Shane's Shearer effort (set-up by the Goal Machine!!) and finished, in style (I like that Rupert, thanks!) With the stunning volley (fluke!) Haha!
