28 February 2012
Venue: SADF
Opponents: Reddam B
After an unfortunate loss to the Milnerton gingers at Sunningdale, we were back on the court at SANDF #Cheesegrater. The team rocking up 1 by 1 ready for amazing win. With our youngster Spud ''Jordan'' keen for a game but starting on the bench. Sucks to be the youngster in the team lol..
The amazing Speedbump (Els – “this report was done by Speedbump”) with his good heart gave the ball to Reddam boys to start off the match, then out of nowhere Dazz went to the centre spot and took the ball away from the youngster. The boy was so scared to ask for the ball back that he just left it for Dazz.
Dazz then showed he’s not so bad and started off the game by passing it to Reddam, the youngsters moved the ball really well and showed us why they call us old. But it was not long before we stole the ball back and made some good runs having inherited the 1st teams eating disorder where no platter could even be touched.
Eventually our 1st goal was scored by a nice break by Dazz, as he got into the D laid off a small square past to Speedbump who finished it off. (clearly speed bump was hungry cause this was platter #8 and he eventually put it away)
Vikings 1 - Reddam 0
Speedbump realising that maybe he should let someone else try he goes off for Spud, the tactical change worked and not long after we had another break threw and a nice pass to Spud ended with him show us how a 15 year old dances around the keeper and puts it away in the net.
Vikings 2 – Reddam 0
After the start Reddam made a number of good runs attacking our D, with their set movements and forcing the error making us give away a shorty. Reddam done there thing, don't ask me what they did but all I saw was ball going through Stings (Keeper) legs. I think sting honestly was beaten by the shear slowness of the ball!
Half time score Vikings 2 - Reddam 1
Half time arrived and we chatted about how we need to work on our shorty’s and how these youngsters are making us run around like headless chicken. Unfit *Monday night is Fitness night, we always there, Jokes*!!
The 2nd half started with the Reddam boys unsure as to whether or not to pass to us or keep the ball themselves, they saw Dazz was close by so they decided to pass it to us. The game started and obviously we were in control again (Speedbump they passed it to you so you should be in control #justsaying), we continued to bombard their D with probing runs but honestly I believe that no one really wanted to score simple goals! Point in reference, out of nowhere Dazz puts 1 away in the top corner. It was a little childish cause the kid in goals was about Basticks height and couldn’t even jump high enough to get there, not easy #tellbasil
Vikings 3 - Reddam 1
We steal possession from the kids, Kfm makes a run upfield before youngster comes and tackles Kfm to the floor, Kfm wasn’t really sure if he should stand up or stay down, that was a heavy tackle and only 4 people tackle like this Vis, Floppy, Puppy and Hassie, I think we found their lost sons. #tellthem (Tosser - Illegitimate children - Or the son of Duncan Mccloud #Highlander for the stupid people)
Bruce (who was on a mission to get his assists up for the season and get his nomination for MVP set in stone) made a nice run straight into the corner, and in an attempt to get the short corner / pass off he layed it back for Speedo to finish an easy chance. (Platter #17 consumed)
Vikings 4 - Reddam 1
A through pass goes to Spud from Speedo. Making a good run until keeper tackles him, I just saw feet in the air and Basticks younger brother still standing while Spud was lying on the ground, clearly that low centre of Gravity thing is true (except when you crying #tellhim).
Keeper 1 - Spud 0
Not long after Spuds upending the ball goes back to him and pulls the keeper and slips it passed him.
Keeper 1 - Spud 1
Vikings 5 - Reddam 1
Dazz with a good run down the boards, then down the baseline making a good pass to Speedbump who missed it completely. Epic Fail i know!! Dazz said 'the ball jumped over my stick as it got to me', I think he was trying to make me feel better after platter miss #56.
Spud finished it off with another goal, getting his hatrick. Keeper K.O !!
The guys played very well but there is some work to been done. We are complacent and not taking our chances! We need to make every effort to put away the platters and Spud if you standing on the post you need to deflect the ball towards goal and not across the face!
Bottom line.. we won!!
End score
