Venue: UCT
Opponents:
UCT
Time: 15h00
The game started as if we had just picked up where we left
off the week before. Good basics and solid ball pace made the difference
between the UCT loafers and the men from mutual. 6Pack enjoying the game
from the sidelines after tearing his ACL, but good news, his doctor has
prescribed concrete pills. So hopefully he will be back after the mid-season
break.
Let’s be fair, being a UCT student does imply that you would
probably been out to some dodgy night club normally tiger tiger and eaten some
dodgy food on the way home probably some dodgy street venders boerie roll (How
we all miss those late night boeries outside Greenman – Yes Greenman, not
Tinroof you youngsters). So being in the state their bodies were probably in it
is natural to only wake up half way through the first half.
we had our opportunities and control most of the first half
scoring with UCT having the odd quick counter attack. We were awarded the first
shorty of the game but didn’t realise that Usain Bolt was their first wave.
This guy was actually beating the ball to the top D that’s how quick he was.
The second shorty we realised what we had to do and slipped the ball to Basil who
as usual did not convert. There was no mistake with the third shorty thou,
Tosser opting to beat the first wave and nutty the keeper with a powerful slap
between his legs. Mutual 1 – 0 UCT.
Then UCT woke up, I felt like I was in hell on a beach as
wave after wave of UCT attacks came at us which we fended off very well.
Youngster keeping us in the game for most of the half, but one of their final
attacks we all heard a whistle and stopped…well everyone except the striker
with the ball. Luckily he was shit and missed, the ball almost going out on the
sideline. Later in the day after about the third beer Shibby admitted to being
the guy who whistled because he wanted the ball – This earned him dick of the
day.
We went into the break leading by a slender 1 – 0 margin,
the lead may not have been enough….
Just before the start of the second half UCT had a change of
keepers., it seems like the guy who loses a bet gets to be keeper for the half.
But he was lucky as he barely even touched
the ball once in the second half.
This half proved that we can park the bus and we can park it
well. Hanging on to our 1-0 lead with the backs performing well. Klepto
hassling his marked, Darrin getting physical with his…then his striker tried to
retaliate by running straight at him. The guy must have been on crack because
he missed him by a meter and ended up running straight into the “People’s
Shoulder” which was attached to Tosser. Don’t worry he took most of the impact
with his face and chest. He put on a bit of a show with a gymnasts dismount
landing on his back, followed by a few choice words from Tosser that apparently
was a retaliation. So the first two greens of the match were handed out. UCT
for being a twat and Tosser for his filthy mouth.
After 7 minutes of standing on the side we reminded the
umpire that we were infact still off the and she let us back on the field. Just
in time for Justin to kick the ball and then tackle Demon with a Butch James
shoulder…..he was then sent off.
So we carried on defending well, throwing overheads into
space while the strikers countered and narrowly missed chances. One of the over
heads was stopped above the UCT players head resulting in another green. So for
the first time in the game we were a man up.
During one of our counter attacks, Basil tried to send a
ball across the field which he mishit, lifting it into the air. Two silly UCT
players decided to swing at the ball in the air. The umpire again reached for
her cards and sent them both off. It was like she was in a rap video throwing
money at strippers. She was making it rain green cards.
We found our second wind with Mullet and Shibby linking up
well on the right hand side of the field. Speedbump having an absolute stormer in the
front making it really hard for the UCT backline to deal with his pace. And
Shooter and Speedo covering the middle well as a defensive unit with Sean
pushing up to really block out the UCT players from getting to our 16.
We had our chances and plenty break-aways and just could not
find the back of the net. We had plenty of space and linking nicely between
halves and links but the gap between the links and strikers was just too far at
times it was impossible to find the strikers. With basil's borrowed shinnies
and Justin tackling his own players the result could not be anything more than
settling for a 1 - 0 victory.
Final
Score: 1-0
Man of the match went to Kelpto for a great debut and Youngster
who saved 27 shots on goal.
Dick of the day was shared by Justin (for his card) and Shibby
for that untimely whistle
A hard fought victory, so that’s two wins in a row for the
Mighty 3s. Now we have to try keep that momentum going into our next
fixture vs Pinelands on Sunday at 13h30
playing at home.
Yours in
awesomeness
Tosser
