Winter League Game Week #14 - vs Stellenbosch B (Mens 2s)


Venue: Mutual
Opponents: Maties B
Date: 11 August 2012
Time: 13h30

The 2s gathered on, there is no polite way to put this, a FUCK cold Saturday afternoon for a clash against the Maties 4s. With the sky looking rather black, Vis came over to me and said we should get the game going early because of the ‘weather’, someone clearly spent the night be cuddled by his mother.

So we got the game under way and after a few half hearted attacks from both sides, we eventually got our act together and started to put some quality play together. This eventually paid off when we won a shorty. We called for the banker (aka zig zag) however Curly, just like the last game against Maties B didn’t get the message and decided to go with the zig and put us 1 – 0 up.

Play then opened up with Mutual letting the game slip away a lil. Maties made use of this and hit us on the counter and after a keeping blunder from the hungover/royally hammered Fridge grabbed an equaliser. We went into half time with the score level at 1 – 1.

Both teams game out fired up to score some goals and we showed this intention by winning a shorty. We let Bob have a drag, he hit the right upright. Now the annoying part is that he asked me where he should go, so I said bottom right, perhaps if I said it in Spanish he would have listened and scored, but nope, he went top right. We won another shorty and we were thinking its definitely goal time now, but Maties hit us on the counter and made us pay. They grabbed a 2 – 1 lead.

This is when the heavens opened, no not rain, goals for Maties. The 2s game took a huge dip and Maties seemed to look dangerous on every attack and were scoring with ease. Before we knew it was 5 – 1 to Maties. The scoreline could have been better if we were more luckier with Giggles hitting the post and several chances were put to waste.

Bastick managed to grab a consolation goal for us at the death, but that didn’t matter at all as we were absolutely outclassed by Maties on the day. We clearly have some work to do in order to pick up some results. A tough clash against a much stronger WPCC B lay ahead of us.
