Match Report

It was a dark and stormy afternoon that the AA5’s took on St Marys. The atmosphere was electric or was that the million volts flowing above the fields?? The lads turned up to this glorious day with their bohemian approach to life and havaianas and, as can be expected, walked away with blood, sweat and tears.

Firstly the blood – Niall, after having a powerhouse game, went up for a high ball header (which he made) and was flattened a split second later by a marauding celt. In a slightly concussed manner, Niall showed his ever gentlemanly manner (when being walked from the field) "I’m ok", "we better tell the ref I’m going off the field", "did I score?" and "I owe you a case of beer G!." It’s in writing,   so it must be true, Niall.

Then the sweat – this, of course, was Derek downing a swag of bourbons in the sweltering heat. You didn’t think it was us on the field???

Then the tears – men don’t cry.

The team showed some balls. Speaking of which I missed mentioning Balls in the last epilogue (where I attempted to mention everyone). As such, he requested an ode be dedicated to him:

Ode to balls:

The man we call balls

He’s all heart
If he senses distress
He’ll let rip, a fart
 

On the field he’s tough
In the goals he’s a star
If you need a shoulder
He’ll be the first to the bar
 
So where did he get
The nickname to do with his jewels
Apparently they’re mammoth
Like a mule’s

Back to the game, which saw some crunching tackles and some occasional brilliance. This started with a one two between Crank and G, and sounded a little like this tap, tap, crack (on goal), pop (keeper blocks), smack (as Nathan volleys the ball into the back of the net).

There was a very good header (player unknown!!!) which had to be headed off the line by an opposition defender.

The defenders all gave the ball a hard time at some point in the game. Even Crusty came on to give it hell. Jason was so inspired that he wanted to carry the ball all the way into the opposition’s half!. Apparently the ref didn’t appreciate the fact that he was wearing the number 1 jersey!

Everyone can see the work that the dynamic duo (Crank and BK) carve through each week. We can’t ask for more, but we will!

Also noted the turtle tirade, the dirty dancer and the steam roller down the line in the second half (GB!).

Heal well Preacher and Liam. And hats off to Slider who resuscitated a gorgeous blonde at the Springwood Sports Club.
