Match Report: 19.8.08

Colours: Stewart, Paul P, Rock, Stretch, Jim, Rob, James

Yellows: Tony, Paul B, Rupert, Bob, Jimmer, Rich, Scott

Score: Colours 5-5 Yellows

This was a game that looked like it was going to be close at the beginning and indeed ended in a draw.

The Yellows started the better and scored quick goals through Rich and Jimmer, but then were set back by Paul B's heavy fall, putting him in goal for a while, and then an even heavier fall for Tony that put him out of the game. Despite this the Yellows increased their lead when Rich scored his second.

However it was not long before the Colours started to make their superior numbers count and Stew pulled one back when he beat Rupert at his near post. Before long it was 3 all with another goal by the impressive Stew and then Rob coolly slotted home for 3.

It looked like it could be a long night for the Yellows especially when Stew completed his hatrick to make it 4-3. The Yellows then relied on Rich to conjure up something and he did not disappoint as he also completed his hatrick. After this the game became a lot closer and both teams had great chances to take the lead, in fact the only goals were then scored by Stretch and then Bob levelled up. In fact the Yellows were grateful to Bob who denied James when he saved his point blank shot with his foot.

Man of the Match: This was close one between Rich and Stew who both had good games, but Stew gets it this week as his form continues to impress and he worked hard for his team tonight and scored a good hatrick.
