Venue: Mutual
Opponents: Durbanville
– M2
Time: 16h30
After having a catch up chat on Friday night, Dunn tells
me how its not going to be an easy game. So I thought they had recruited in a
few player during the break…..A whole new side rocked up on Saturday.
So instead of two veteran sides going at it, we were
chasing a bunch of youngsters… and Korr.
The guys were a bit bleak when they say this. To make
matter worse a little miscommunication and Youngster was at Canal Walk watching
Twilight with his bird. So we brought in emergency sub goalie Otees whos warm
up consisted of 1 drag flick as the teams were ready to start. Oh and special
mention to Shooter who couldn’t make the game because of ‘work’ – which I had
to find out 30 minutes before game time.
So Tubbs made his debut for the Mighty 3s. The first few
minutes seems to go very slowly. It almost seemed like the guys were conserving
their energy from the go. But with Petie-Weepu dominating in the centre like he
usually does , it gave us a chance to push up and a side and try to get a firm
grasp on the game.
Petie-Weepu with a great thru ball to Blake, and as
always #1Time into the goals. Seems like this guy never needs a second touch.
But don’t fix it if is ‘aint broken! Mutual 1 – 0 Durbanville.
The didn’t get many chances in the first half. There was
one occasion where they got into our circle and Otees was forced to make a
save. By that I mean he ducked and screamed like a girl as the ball sailed over
the bar. But he was keeping a clean sheet which is all that mattered. If
screaming like a girl was putting off the strikers, then keep at it.
We got our first shorty of the game, Blake doing his
thing and following after the keeper made a save. Sending the ball flying into
the net. Mutual 2 – 0 Durbanville.
Happy with out 2 goal lead going into the break, we
looked set to try push for that bonus point in the second half. But we didn’t expect
Durbies to come out firing like they did. In the first few minutes there was a
bit of miscommunication in our half saw their defender receive the ball on top
D unmarked. Otees came running out but with a 2v1 he didn’t stand much chance. Mutual
2 – 1 Durbanville.
Not wanting them to get any points out of the game we
pressed on. Durbies are too close to us to be giving them bonus points. WE
pushed solidly for a good 10 minutes before Basil found himself in the D and
was taken out badly by their defence. Basil winning an Oscar for most time
spent on the ground faking a cramp. Shorty out skew, basil stoping it strong
and for ONCE ops for a front stick shot. Mutual 3 – 1 Durbanville.
The rest of the game seemed like it was just our guys
getting injured. Basil getting bear hugged by the keeper, who was then sent
off, again lying on the ground with bad cramp. #MyBack #MyLegs. Guys just wanted
the game to be over, If they had called time then, there would have been a lot of
happy 3s players.
Setting up for their 16, Brown was handed the ball by their
defender and told to have a shot, early Christmas present.Extending our lead. Mutual
4 – 1 Durbanville.
With the victory pretty much sealed and only a few
minutes to run down on the clock, we started going into sleep mode. Just trying
to get the game over with. Not enough time left to go for bonus points and we didn’t
really seem in danger of conceding 2 goals.
Kev was then ploughed down in our own half. The old man immediately
left the field, and that meant there was something worng. Later we found out
that the Durbies striker had broken his collar bone. There goes his season. Out
for 8 weeks. Credit must go to Agent who must have been sucking back some Absinthe
and awarded the free hit to Durbies.
That was pretty much the ball game, we held out the final
minute with some excitement in the D in the closing stages. Tubbs playing a
little cameo and seeing the spot light on him with a couple stick blocks and
some bobby dazzling around the P-spot.
Final
Score: 4 - 1
Hard battle
and a good win, next up UCT. Looking at the table we are a few points clear of
VD Stel and then there is a bit of a gap to the other teams. But this year in
this league, anything can happen. Millies only beating Conberg 2-1 after
thrashing them in their previous fixture but putting 9 past them.
Yours in
awesomeness
