A poorer turnout this week than that of recent months. Difficult having 6 a side in hot weather.
Andy and I were selected as captains to play our 2nd leg. I was 2-1 down from the first game and had first pick this time around. Teams as per the match page.
Andy and I started in Goal. Both teams had chances early on, with Andy's Whites more or less restricted to long shots by Paul and Tom working hard in defence. It was my team that broke the deadlock, some intricate passing led to Dave slotting it past the keeper. 1-0. Dave struck again soon after with a long range effort finding its way into the bottom corner, 2-0.
Andy's team fought back well at this point, and upped the pressure on Yellows. A shot from Chris made it 2-1. All square on aggregate.
Fortunately the Yellows weathered the storm, Gary scored to make it 3-1 with about 15 to go. Shortly after, Hackett picked up the ball down the left flank and played a great through ball down the line to Tom who nestled the ball in the net to make it 4-1.
Can't really fault any of my team over the course of the game...apart from Blake. That god awful throw/assist at the end straight to Chris let him down, Hahaha 4-2 FT
Well done all, difficult to play in the conditions.
Good luck in the Duffers Andy!
MOM goes to Dave O, tireless running all game and involved in good plays made with the team. (Hackett a very close 2nd place, an assist and only 1 handball this week.)
