COLOURS HOLD OUT FOR DRAW

Match Report: 28.8.07

Colours: Stewart, James, Paul B, Rupert, Al, Paul NG, Mark GM, Scott, Jamie

Yellows: Tom, Steve C, Steve W, Rob, Dave, Bob, Badge, Jimmer, Shane, Heath

Score: Colours 2-2 Yellows

The game started with Stewart showing how tactful he can be. When he realised Rupert was not in goal he said 'Oh I picked you because I thought you were going to be in goal.' James laughed and said to me 'you must be feeling good about yourself!'

The game was a scrappy affair with the ball being given away frequently, though this was no surprise with the amount of people playing and the fact that some forget that the game is about passing!

The Yellows enjoyed the extra player throughout the game and used this to have prolonged periods of pressure, but the defence did well and stood firm. For the Yellows Badge and Jimmer created problems for the Colours with some good movement and shooting. In fact it was Jimmer who opened the scoring when he was not picked up from a throw on and scuffed the ball home. This was soon followed up by a Badger goal when he combined with Jimmer to make it 2 nil.

It appeared that the Yellows would go on to win, especially as Heath, having a good game in defence, was not going to be passed easily. However 2 quick fire goals first from Stewart and then a cheeky chip from Mark GM levelled the scores up.

The Yellows then had the lions share of possession, but failed to create too many chances, with James and Paul B having another good game at the back.

Man of the Match: Paul (New Guy) can be forgiven for some wayward passing at times as he did an excellent job of breaking play up and then showing quick feet to get out of trouble. The boy literally put his body on the line and deserves his first award.

Correction: For those of you who read this I made a mistake a couple of weeks ago. I credited Jamie with one goal in fact he got three whoops sorry Jamie.
