Winter League Game Week #6 - vs Somerset West(Ladies 2s)


Opponents: Somerset West
Venue: Mutual
Time: 3pm
Date: 26 May 2012

With a losing streak of note, it was time for the girls to pitch up for a game and get cracking, pity the fish hoek sisters got that memo late (apparently better late than never *thinking pose*). After a few rescue club practises out of the sandpits and rough on the warm up ‘fields’ (the home of THE MOLE), the girls were amped and keen (except for the heat that the one fish hoek chick ordered) and it was onto the turf with enthusiasm. 

Tippex asked the refs who would be reffing which side and naturally picked the opposing side to Bastick for the first half!  With the refs and goalies and players ready, it was game on. After ten minutes, good possession and some up and down the pitch warming up it, was time for subs with super sub bench warming duo of Nicole H and Bubbles injecting in some fresh legs and shouting (Bubbles for the screamer, Nicole H for the legs). Sonic scrimmaged through the defence to set up a ball for Fresh Legs to slot it in the goal after the keeper forgot her first lesson in “How to be a lady 101 – Close your legs slag”. 1-0 to the Greens!  

After their attempt at a come back, lucky marble holder Eezi (in her sock I might add) started the attack from the back (Bastick was prob behind her, so it was a quick burst), letting the ball do the work and encouraded the switch to Panda. Panda took it into contact with some fowling from the other side. This lead the Sommies ump to let Panda know it was her ball to which she replied “Yes I will marry you”. Seemed a bit easy really, but then perhaps it wouldn’t be the first act of this kind from an Indian lady in the club…. This shocked Sommies into retreat and the greens team took the ball up and forced the shortie! India “Monster” pushed out the ball to El Capitano, Tippex, who pulled the ball and pushed it towards post. This shocked everyone in the d so much that the concentration was lifted and the ball trickled over the line to make it 2-0. Well done Capi, we didn’t think that tactic would work! Half time…

We knew they would come back hard and so got in their quickly, Princess took a cracking shot at the keeper who saved it (she must like it hard), but the rebound found Dory Balboa who caned it in to make it 3-0! This scoring was unusual for us (except for the vice captain maybe #tellher), and so Sonic the scrimmager started to feel the pressure and slotted our third goal in by adopting the good ol’ push fashion after a cross into the D. 4-0.  

It was at this point that we finally thought we would take a break from hockey and perve at Austin Smith on the side of the pitch (our Awesome SA Captain). Sommies saw this as a perfect time to attack and some long corner scrimmaging and p-spot placements and bang, Sommies made it 4-1. This woke us up to start attacking! Short corner saw Bubbles take over pushing out (after begging to, seems familiar that she’d beg the youngens #tellher), but then saw her missing the perfect opportunity to score (also familiar #tellheragain).

With that the end of the game was brought about by Bastick (probably prematurely) with the Greens taking the browns (ew gross) 4-1 for their first win of the season. Rumour has it there were some awkward moments after when the girls rushed Austin for photos and then having ‘deleted’ it had to bowl him over for more pics… Obliging amazing captain had the girls giggling and sweating so much that they forgot to take their fines! #teamfail, but not after incorporating Yes into the Game of life at least 6 times!  Well done girls!

Final score Mutual 4 - 1 Somerset West
