Match Report: A number of us had enjoyed a great day of golf, beers, darts and bidding on auction items on Friday in the annual Monday Match versus the Prems boys. At auction, despite our best efforts, we had lost out on the Dog Walking The Dog item by a determined set of Prems boys keen to spend wisely on such a great piece of art. Upon arrival at the game we received the shocking news the collector item had been stolen and a ransom was out for its return

Last week, after missing the game the week before, Rash was an automatic bench player as is the case when you return. Just to subtly let Rash know who he valued in the team, Sean the Sheep gave the returning snow bunny Andy Netball a position in the starting line up and team Captain for the day. Nice

The Sheep’s pre-match game brief required an intricate understanding of our teams ever-changing nicknames. Jigsaw, more on this new one soon, was heard just as we kicked off ‘who’s Percy?’ referring to Cobra, nee Ipswich, obviously

Springwood were pretty busted and had a few upgrades. We dominated possession and chances from the off. Goals to Iceman, his 54th penalty this season, following Forrest being bundled over; Rory’s passing finish following a one-two with Percy put us into that uncomfortable, dangerous 2-0 nil lead we like to avoid. The Dentist filled the vast cavity in the six yard box that was left unmarked, the extraction taking the lead to 3-0 and leaving the opposition feeling numb and unable to taste their half time oranges

Netball pointed out to Double Fist at half time that he may get to smoke his second clean sheet cigar the way things were going. Double Fist’s head dropped at the early call. Sheep noted that Forrest’s normal unerring accuracy in front of goal seemed to be missing today – so Forrest is now Jigsaw (goes to pieces in front of goal if you are struggling to keep up)

In the second half we continued creating and scoring – Jigsaw still missing, instead turning creator for a Deuce double, Rash slide in and a Suarez tap in. In the midst of this we managed to help Double Fist’s smoking problem by conceding an unnecessary goal

Tolly made a 5 minute guest appearance before being carried off with his 13th different injury of the season. Renamed Sick Note or possibly Ming seeing as how fragile his body is

After the game we noticed the Dog Walking the Dog item had been placed on our trophy shelf – clearly the kidnapper had seen the error of his ways
