(9) Performance of week:

landscape_gifhe_college_logo_new_improved_25.jpgI refereed with Dean Gladwell crucial Premier League  title decider between Fulstow Rovers and Shamrock Rovers.  Again Shamrock had bare squad which included for the first time Paul Goodhand.

5-1 Fulstow at the break, I did not give Sham’ a chance, a big mistake as they clawed back to 5-5.  When Goodhand slipped with 60 seconds left, Fulstow faced a 3 v 1 and the GK situation which they expolited to score (6-5).  Superlatives to all involved,drama, skill, technique, this game had it for 40 minutes.

In the junior under 10 league Discoveries had their backs to the wall against champions elect Breakaways,  against the odds they scored the goal of the night.  From GK to a simple tap in every Discoveries player had a 1-2 touch pass involvement. Brilliant.

N Waltham 2 Little Devils 1 wasn’t bad either; 2 teams that know each other played ‘real futsal’ in a match both wanted desperately to win.

Pushing the Fulstow v Shamrock (match of the week, without doubt), and Discoveries superb passing move (move of the week), was BBS keeper Grant who achieved the futsal equivalent of a hole in 1 (a direct shot from keeper into his opposite numbers goal), not once but twice (individual performance of week).

 

After much deliberation the award goes Shamrock Rovers for the sheer guts of their recovery vs. Fulstow.
