Willows Valiant 7 YMCA Futsal 1

Encouraging start for YMCA,
having a team and a player on the bench is always a good start.  As expected Valiant was dominate, playing as
a unit with every play futsal savvy. 
YMCA by contrast had one player playing his first game of futsal, enough
to throw a spanner in the works.  5-0 at
half time it was a pleasant surprise that YMCA did not collapse but managed to
lose the second period by 2-1.  The goal
annoying Valiant who was intent on a clean sheet.

Trawl 5 El Dogo’s 7

Let me get the bad news out of
the way first.  This game had too many
fouls, most as a result of poor defending; defending is an art just as
dribbling is an attacking art.  Tackle
from behind, go in to strongly, barge and expect a whistle.  Defending is about cutting off the opponents’
opportunities to attack, this often requires patience, a missing commodity.

The goals scored were the best ‘batch
of goals’ I have witnessed in any game. 
Stunning play, goal after goal.

1-0, 1-1 to 5-5 then with minutes
left 6-5 to El Dogo’s, could Trawl respond, almost.  In their endeavour to score El Dogo’s broke
and opened the first two goal advantage in the game.  The whistle ended the game as the ball hit
the net.

Important game law, please note:

When El Dogo’s scored in the last
seconds it was within the allotted game time. 
If the player breaking had moved over the 20 minutes game time the
referee is instructed to allow play to continue until the end of that
move.  If the player breaking shoots and
scores it’s a goal.  If he passes and the
receiver nets it is not a gaol.  The move
ends when the player breaking passes the ball. 
If in the initial move the keeper saves and pushes the ball out to another player to score,
again the move ended on the save.
