GRS 9 Shamrock 10
Score makes the game look as
though the two teams slugged out like two punch boxers. Not completely true. The game started off with Lee Bushell gifting
GRS an easy tap in goal from a miss pass.
GRS then followed with three more, the game was there to be won after
only ten minutes. Shamrock had an inner
spirit that if they could get a goal back another would follow and time was on
their side. So it transpired 4-4 at half
time.
The second half saw GRS always
ahead until the last minute when Shamrock levelled and then scored a
winner. At the close players of both
teams was physically and mentally exhausted.
GRS need a sports psychologist to help them close
out games, it’s that serious.
Franklin College 0 El Dogo’s 15
Franklin had a scratch team out,
to their credit they did not call me whinging to have the game moved to another
week, and they got on with what they had.
No disrespect to players but the team lacked the cohesion of Franklin
last week. In fairness El Dogo’s was on
fire, all fifteen goals were probably tap-ins, crafted from seasons of
futsal. For any team with newcomer’s El
Dogo’s on fire is a baptism of fire.
Clee Wander’s 4 Willows Valiant 8
Clee are great on organised
defence, and after wounding Valiant by taking a 2-0 advantage after only five
minutes, defence was going to be needed; Valiant have fire power (Mason and
Payne), by comparison Clee was firing blanks.
Clee attack as a group, find a top scorer and the gap on the tap teams
will close dramatically.
