Match Report: It was a dark and stormy morning that the O35 3 Blueys took to the Hazo field. We took to the field and immediately took control of the game. We maintained this for all of the first half, in fact, but were unable to put one in the net.

We were able to put one and two passes together but weren’t able to make the third or fourth. So, just as our minds were set to attack we’d hand the ball over with a not-so-awesome pass. Nevertheless, MANY players were able to get shots away!

The back line was a picture of precision. There was BK and Skud, as well as Bruce the Tombraiding Turtle Slasher from Hollywood!

The midfield too didn’t do too shabbily, consisting of Pirate’s Rusty and Dirty Disco Shotgun!

Finally the attack was marshalled by the Cranky Fox in a Golf Bag!!

The second half started well too as we maintained control. Possibly through a frustrated score line or tiredness, we let the opposition make some inroads into our domination of possession. We got this back, but the 3 points was still up for grabs!!!

The Hazo keeper had been peppered with shots all game. GB was unlucky with a great header off a corner; Rusty had a near miss in the first half and there were another half dozen good chances.

Then with 20 minutes to go, the ball entered the oppositions goal box, and the ball popped up! The moment had come … The Fox saw the opportunity, at the same time as the keeper, and both attacked. And the keeper would have gotten to it except that The Fox hit the ball on the half volley … Woohoo … The ball rattled the net and we had hit the lead.

The goal brought some better play from the team and all attack seemed to be from the Blueys. Then with about 3 minutes to go, the back line made a pass to a galloping Rusty … who saw Hollywood in space and made the pass. A sprinting Hollywood then took the ball up to the back line and heard the call from a rampaging Golf Bag! With an architects precision, Hollywood played the ball, splitting the distance between GB and the keeper (with defenders left in his dust). GB then, with a split second to connect with the ball before connecting with the keeper … chipped the tallest keeper in the Division … And the ball sailed into the goals!!!!!!!

Well done everyone (including those, stressed on the sideline!!!!!) …. 3 points !! We’re doing everything we can to take out this Division.
