Good morning guys
Well that was another tough physical game. We played some good hockey…..at stages.
1. Conceding goals……we STILL don’t do that. (This point has come up a few times in the last 3 matches)
2. Again being caught in possession.
3. Not enough shorties. And our conversion rate was bad because Drummond wasn’t there. lol
23 November 2011
Venue: Wynberg Military Base
Opponents: York Old Boys
Firstly let me say that I was very happy that the game went ahead last night. I was super keen to play these guys……I mean beat these guys. I’m just happy the game wasn’t called off on account of the weather.
So we started off the game winning the toss, as always, I thought we would give them the ball and play into the sun in the first half so that we could play with the wind in the second half. As always the opponents got the ball so that they could practice centering off.
We started off well pressing them quite high and all they were doing was playing the long ball looking for the deflection. But with the ball crashing against the back wall and us starting again with a 16. After working the ball around the field and showing our dominance we decided it was time to get on the score card.
A fantastic 1-2 between Suffix and Bob, saw the Mexican becoming the first Mutual player on the score card. Burying the ball into the bottom corner. Mutual 1 – 0 York
Shorty after we missed two short corner attempts or was it three? Honesty call I missed one. Yes, I can’t believe it either. My consistency theory is out the window again…..
Before long we unfortunately had to give Bondi Clark a chance to grab his first team cap. This was the third time he had been promoted but the first time he had chosen to share the field with us. Probably because he had to first get permission from his girlfriend to join us. Don’t know why she would have said no, I’m sure she loves winners. Anyway moving along. Where was I? Oh yes Bondi takes the field and is pretty much average at best. Tosser makes, what can only be described as, an amazing run (ok fine….walk) round the back of Yorks defence slipping the ball inside to Bondi. I thought this was the perfect way to start your debut with a platter. But it seems like nerves got the better of him and he quickly off loaded the ball like a hot potatoe straight back to Tosser (might I add that it was a horrible bouncing ball with fokol pace,definitely expected from a 2s player), who playing the captains role and not wanting to make the youngster look bad, finished with an absolute screamer past the keeper from baseline. True Story! Mutual 2-0
Then I have no idea how this happened think York must have been doing one of their famous line changes or Bollie just felt sorry for our Goal-Virgin. But Boogies had a nose bleed again he was so high up on the field. Boogies slipped the ball to Brundle who had passed the keeper and basically had an open net. Brundle obviously thought when is this ever going to happen again and passed it back to Boogies. Who from the baseline smashed the ball into an open net. Boogies finally breaking his Goal-ginity. Mutual 3-0
And with that moment of insanity half time was called.
As always the inspirational captain gave him half time talk. Motivating his fellow team mates to stop playing kak and score more goals, while at the same time trying to hurt that tool at the back who was trying to get physical with everyone. (and not in the good kind of physical way) So with that we took the field to start the second half. Captain amazing decided to give the young newbie another shot at the big time and started bench, probably cause I was kak tired. We started off the game pressing them quite high and they kept on with their long hopeless ball. They got their break thru by dispossessing us on the edge of our D and forcing a shortie. The ever present Fridge who has done little to let us down this year…finally did by killing our clean sheet and letting one sneak past him. Too soon?
Mutual 3-1.
Then we decided to dominate again. Holding onto possession which what seemed like ages. Some really amazing hockey. Switching the ball, going into the centre and back to the defence, moving up the boards into the corner then coming back out. Truly amazing to sit and watch you guys form the P-spot.lol. A few quick 1-2s after that and Lemon presented platter of the day. I have really missed seeing platters. It will be welcomed back on Monday when Chef Vis makes his return from sleeping on a couch in Zanzibar. With grace and finesse, ok fine it was a bit sloppy, Tosser put the ball in the back of the net. Mutual 4-1.
York thought it was time to try save face and they started pushing hard…..no really that tit at the back was at it again. Trying to bulldoze players over then moaning like a moffie when you got past him and he thought it wasn’t fair. But somehow they got another shortie. Tosser looking on from the bench thought this would be fine since Fridge had kept out 5 or 6 shorties before this. But alas, Fridge going down early like a prozzie watched the ball loop past his head. Damn you Schalk, damn you!!
Mutual 4-2
Almost instantly after we won another short corner, seeing the rage in Lemons eyes, we decided to give him the drag flick which he rocketed into the top right corner of the goals. No one from either team able to spot the ball until it hit the net. Mutual extending their lead again to 5-2.
Seeing the minutes dying off and kinda dropping into 5th gear to cruise the game out, Bondi finds himself in space on the right. He takes on the one defender with a fantastic step and instead of slipping the ball to Tosser for the hatrick, he selfishly trys to take on the next defender. Literally shouting IOANEEEEEE and handing off the defender who failed to use his hands in the tackle then slipping the ball past the keeper and continuing to celebrate like he had won the World Cup. Mutual ending off the game as victors….again. Beating off a (ok lets not use beating off, sounds suspect) Winning 6-2 against York Old boys.
Final Score Mutual 6 - 2 York Rugby Squad
