Match Report: It was a dark and stormy, yet otherwise perfect, Sunday morning for our first hit out.

The first half hour was a challenge as Cranebrook continually pushed forward and we were doing our best to break down their play. Then, a master stroke – we changed in Val. With a shimmy, feign and shot … Val made the best of his first minute on the field. 1-0.

The second half started easier than the first as Cranebrook was a player down. We took advantage of the extra space and pushed forward with some smart passing. A penalty 40 yards out saw Crussell step up. He took aim and that was the end of that. Somehow channeling Val’s earlier moves, the ball seemed to shimmy, feign and make its way into the back of the net. 2-0

After some further work up the field we earned some corners. Dre hit the first and Slash got his head to it, but missed. But with precision adjustments, Dre hit the next corner closer to the 6 yard and Slasher did the rest! 3-1

After even some more work up the field … Crank worked himself into the right spot to head the ball home. 4-1

A great start and good chance to learn everyone’s names. Thanks to Crank, Andy and Ads who added to the team. Good effort all over the field and for purposes of getting to know …. Who’s the who in town … We had Mac and Brick making some good tackles and taking some yards … We had Val and Tingles creating havoc up front … We had Toey clocking up the step meter on the left … And Slasher on the right. We had Mayo and G in the middle. And of course we had Pat who was awesome between the sticks.

On the sideline we had Longey and Frankie ‘the motivator’ Hollywood. If I missed anyone, my apologies.
