STEWART LEFT FRUSTRATED

Match Report: 20.5.08

Colours: Stewart, Andy, James, Tony, John, Shane, D, Paul P, Paul B
Yellows: Rob, Rich, Rock, Rich M, Rupert, Scott, Badge, Steve C, Bob

Score: Colours 4 - 6 Yellows

This game was really decided within the first 10 minutes as the Yellows were rampant and scored 4 quick fire goals through the in form Rich who scored 2, Badge and Bob. The Colours were all over the place and looked like conceding on every Yellow attack, poor old Shane in goal did not know what was going on and 10 minutes later it got worse for him when he somehow let Bob score directly from a corner. To be fair though the score would have been a lot more if it was not for some fine saves from Shane, who threw himself about like a possessed cat. By the way what do you call a sceptic cat? A puss(e)

Eventually the Colours grew into the game but at 5 nil down they had a mountain to climb and they looked destined not to score as they were denied time again by last ditched tackles and saves. Rob was particularly having a strong game at the back, full of aggression in the tackle. This just led to Stewart becoming more and more frustrated with himself, his team and the Yellows. The words clutching and straws came to mind when he claimed a handball after Scott saved it in goal! He then went for a theatrical dive when Rupert blew on him and then kept reducing the score (a weekly Stew trick).

However Stew did have something to cheer when he fired in following good work by Andy (who was running his socks off for the Colours). However his joy was short lived when Scott scored on his second attempt. The Colours did have a late rally as Paul, Andy and Stew combined well, but in the end it was all in vain.

Man of the Match: Rich looked good again for this award as he started well, but Rob was on fire at the back and played well all game deserving the award this week.

By the way could no more Rich's turn up it is becoming a nightmare! I like the way Rob chose all the R's! Maybe we can have a team of R's soon.
