COLOURS SKATE THEIR WAY TO COMFORTABLE WIN

Match Report: 11.12.07

Colours: Stewart, Mark GM, Rich (Blond), Neil, Jimmer, Rupert, Paul P, Tony

Yellows: James, Paul B, Rich, Scott, Strech, Bob, Badge, John, Steve W

Score: Colours 6 - 3 Yellows

The games have been really tight lately, but this was a cruise for the Colours who also played with a man less. The Colours played some delightful passing football, leaving the Yellows chasing shadows for most of the match; but at least this kept them warm in sub zero temperatures with the pitch more like an ice rink than a football pitch. Players were cautious about their footing and Mark GM took one nasty fall chasing a lost cause, but luckily he was OK.

The Colours did all the early running and scored quick early goals through Stewart, Jimmer and Rich. Then followed some calamitous moments when Rupert did a fresh air kick, Scott laughed at him then missed an open goal, Jimmer missed an open goal, then Tony threw the ball to Bob who hit it back in for 3-1.

This did not deter the one man less Colours who scored again through Mark GM and though they were pegged back by Bob they took complete control and went 6-2 up, with Stewart completing his hatrick (though he was gifted one by James who made a complete hash of one of them while in goal).

The Colours were able to play the game out with relative ease, with just the one alarm of conceding a late goal to Badge (who then announced the score was 5-4!).

Man of the Match: This was a good team effort from the Colours who passed the ball around well. Worth noting was Tony's long range pass to Stew, who then buried it. This week has to go for Stew, for a good hard working performance and 3 goals as well.
