Match Report |
It was a dark and stormy afternoon as the AA5’s turned up to The Cauldron for Game 4. Moving through the first three games with results that ‘shall not be spoken’ meant two things: (i) Tingle’s socks had not been washed since April and (ii) a Match Report had not yet been submitted for 2012! Today, it all changed, with a ‘right to the end’ effort and win. And thankfully, some more of the players have taken their name off the end of season ‘nudy run list’ by scoring a goal! Where does it start … but with Niall (aka The Surgeon) who scored the first goal after only a few minutes from a very acute angle. This is becoming a very good habit of his! Nathan (aka The Treadmill, because he can beat 7 players but won’t have made any ground) put himself in the right position for the second goal, slotting the ball easily passed the goal keeper in the 6 yard box. The opposition took a goal back leading into half time. The second half was going well with the team all pitching in, in attack and defence. Unfortunately, it was the opposition who took the next goal, bring the scores to a draw. 2-2. Pushing through fatigue and a punctured lung, Disco used his head to sneak the team’s third goal away. The opposition drew back again. Finally, in the last 5 minutes Tingles succumbs to the opposition’s body-ball philosophy (body first, ball optional). The Referee is not impressed and blows the whistle for a direct penalty. Cranky stepped up to the mark and slotted a solid goal away to seal the match. A notable game between the sticks from Slasher, who later commented that he was seriously thinking about becoming Keeper full-time. This might be third hand information! Dirty, Slider, Tony (aka Golf Bag), Seb, BK, Brendan (aka Genghis Khan, the biggest badass in the history of badasses) and Denty all had good games in defence with high work rates. The nickname "Golf Bag" certainly doesn’t instill fear, dread or even wonder, until you know the reason this mobster was given the name Golf Bag. Working for Capone as a mob enforcer (hitman), Sam Hunt would carry his weapons in his golf bag to hide them. If you saw Sam coming towards you with his golf bag slung on his shoulder and you weren’t teeing off on the green, you should probably be running the other direction. Please note: the players do not support the life choices of Gangsters, just the effective us of a good nickname. |
