Indoor Game Week #3 - Durbanville (Titans)

31 January 2012

Venue: UCT A

Opponents: Durbanville C Pandemonium

Fortunately I had organised a top umpire for Titans, who knew his rules and that he should stick out his arm for my team when I shout at him, Els. Unfortunately they had organised Dorothy.

The first goal came faster than we could see. Four stick blocks and a one-two pass later, Pandemonium was ahead by one. Dorothy can't be blamed, because even with my 20-20 vision the stick blocks were fast, so it must have just looked like a blur to him. (Tosser: As we had discussed this is a 2013 rule change Shooter - it is apparently now legal)

To make up for it, the following happened: Pandemonium raised a ball into Tombraider's thigh. The ball was played in the air over Tomb-raiders stick by Pandemonium. Dorothy sticks out his arm for THEIR advantage and calls: "WAIT!". We were confused. They scored.

We scored a good field goal through a fantastic move by Tim upfront. We held the defence with a good press upfront, and ended the half 2 - 1 down.

It was looking bleak at half-time. Pandemonium were faster, stronger, more skilled and could probably knife us if they wanted to. But a rousing speech about catching your breathe and trying not to throw up resulted in another early goal in the second half. Titans down 3 - 1.

Titans were playing without their primary goalkeeper at the back (Tristyn) and the second string keeper (Mini) was unavailable. We then asked OT (third roster) and Vis (desperation call). Finally, I asked some bum off the street to put the pads on and try keep the ball out the back of the net. What happened next amazed us all. Ben who hadn't played keeper in 2 years, pulled off saves out of every corner (literally all 4) and made three 1-v-1 stops. We still believe he only sees the world in scrolling green numbers. (Tosser: Bwaaahahahaha, now thats funny. i pee'd a little)

Then the impossible happened. Titans won two short corners in the Pandemonium D. Better yet, Titans won 2 short corners in Dorothy's D. Better yet, we slotted them. Good finish by Cracker and average wounded rabbit by myself. Score pulled back to 3 -3.

Another short corner won by Titans with 1:30 to play saw a goal-line save by Mr Anderson against a top flick from Cracker. The counter brought them into our D, but the final whistle saved us and left the game drawn at 3 - 3.

Amazed with the result, we look forward to crushing Reddam and then taking on our arch nemesis. Vikings - We're coming for you.
