After much begging and pleading, i got the coach/player/top goal scorer of the 1s and the captain of the 2s to write up a little tournament summary for you guys. I asked a few times for team photos....#Fail. Obviously that didn't happen. But i have been assured that i will be getting those soon. So for those of you who weren't able to make the tournament enjoy the write up - you missed some decent hockey......from Mutual's opposition. (#Raff, #Jonothan, #Suffix, #Boogies, #Blackburn, #Keiryn .........and #Fridge for the first game - he had no idea where he was)
1st team Coaches Match Report – KC March Easter Tournament 2012
The 1s have a squad of 17, but taking away the guys with broken faces and fingers, one away with family and one still recovering from a disease he caught in Holland we were down to 12 so I (Vis) player/coached the side for the tournament, my last games in the 1s for the time being.
Team players who played some or all the games:
Fridge, Cammy, Bollie, Breezy, Import, Agent, Bondi, Brundle, Bob, Piles, Fanny, Oracle, Pantene, LG, Fanny, Vis. ( Tosser - and together with an amazing Team Manager!!!)
Game 1
Vs NMMU
Fri 6 April 2012
Hartleyvale A
We were all unimpressed to see our keeper intoxicated from a wedding the day before, but as luck would have it, his slow reactions would always put him in the path of the NMMU shot.
In what can only be described as a one sided contest, NMMU had us against the ropes for the entire match, but were unable to land the finishing blow, much like Man City this season.
We defended like world depended on it and then Captain Piles decided to make it exciting, telling the ump he was shit, and being rewarded with 2 minutes in the sin bin. The Funny part was that before the game Piles told everyone that he had money on a certain person getting the first card of the tournament, hope he isn’t a gambling man because the guy he chose, Agent, would end the tournament cardless, possibly because Piles was hogging all of them.
(Tosser - Dont know why the only action of the game was left out. Team Vis decided to take it upon himself and make the game eventful for all the spectators #IncludingPiles from the bench, the opposition coach ran onto the field complaining about the umpiring when Tactful Vis decided to throw in his 5cents. The coach obviously not happy with this started calling Vis a dirty player and pushed him in his face.
Some of the NMMU player didn't know what to do, seems like they weren't used to fighting and all started pushing Vis, who for once wasn't doing anything. The Team Manager (me) then came to save the day and my job was made a lot worse by having to report the situation to the organising committee. I left Vis' name out and referred to him as #MyPlayer otherwise the organisers would have blamed us again)
Game ended 0 – 0
Game 2
Vs Lakeside Cavaliers
Sat 7 April 2012
Hartleyvale B
After NMMU we expected it to get easier, and it should’ve, Fanny rounding the GK only to miss open goals, something Torres would’ve been proud of.
It was after a break in the game when Pantene got hit in the sack, that the Cavaliers caught us napping and scored the opener.
Then a moment of absolute brilliance saw team Vis intercept on the half way line, run toward the opposition D, recover from a tackle, then pull the last two defenders before flicking it passed a stranded goal keeper, #Liverpool take notes. (Tosser - Ben Arfa was probably watching Vis' goal and tried to replicate it against Bolton)
Then within 3 minutes of each other in the second half two of our defenders tried to dribble out the back and failed as they were dispossessed and caused an overlap, both being finished inside the near post of the beacon we call Fridge who had sobered up by now. (Tosser - Give that man a Bells)
Shortly before the match ended Fanny was on hand to finally break his duck and give us the momentum going into the closing stages, but Piles had other plans and decided to talk his way into another card, this time it was a custard #consistent (Tosser - Ultra Mel strikes again)
Game ended 2 – 3
Game 3
Vs Parkside
Sat 7 April 2012
Hartleyvale B
This was a must win for us to ensure a semi (Tosser - i watched the ladies game before so i already had a semi #JustSaying), but it wasn’t to be.Parkside scoring their first shorty with a ripper of a drag flick #wish we had one of those (Tosser - #Tell Import)
Their second on the stroke of half time put the tie to bed.
The only contribution we would make the tech table sheet was in the 42nd minute, yes you guessed it, another Yellow from Piles, making it 3 from 3, pity it wasn’t goals. (Tosser - setting a new club record for most cards in consecutive games)
Game ended 0 – 2
Game 4
Vs CUT
Sun 8 April 2012
Hartleyvale B
Well after a serious uitkak session Saturday night we were down to play for the Wooden Spoon against CUT.
Poor marking again cost us as CUT capitalised and went up in the 4th minute of play. We didn’t drop our heads and in the second half Fanny smashed the ball passed the keeper, who probably pee’d himself a bit.
Fanny would then turn from Hero to Villain, pulling a Piles and getting sent off.
Then came another moment of excellence with clinical movement from the back to the front, 6 players were involved in splitting the CUT side which ended in a Bondi platter to Vis , who doesn’t miss from there.
(Tosser - My man of the match for this game would definitely go the the captain. The goal post was selected as captain for this match. I think he saved the side more than anyone else on the field #ToldThem)
Game ended 2 – 1
Thanks to all for the support and to Dutch, Bastick and Goose for umpiring for us. (Tosser - And a very special circle jerk thanks to Tosser for being an amazing Team Manager)
The tactful
