Hot and cold United

Good judgment by captain One Touch allowed the Strikers to utilise a less than pleasant southerly squall in the first half. It wasn't all plane sailing with the wind at their backs, however, as the Strikers were slightly taken aback when United broke out and scored in the opening goal of the match. The ball tended to run away a bit but leading striker Dexter Rag'm settled the Sunnyside juggernaut with the equaliser. From then on Sunnyside was in full control despite Westy's best efforts to shoulder barge them out of the match.

The conditions lightened a little in the second half allowing the Strikers to capitalise on their three goal first half margin. Drag'm decided the warm bench was a better option than numbing it out on the field allowing fellow striker Girl's Farts to get amongst the scoring. Farts completed his second hat-trick of the season and waved Dexter back on (much to his disgust).

Wind up of the week award goes to Trig as he did a great job of infuriating Westy out of the match. The "deliberate hand ball" call set the fuse alight and the pick-and-roll followed by the "you picked the wrong #$%! guy to mess with buddy" call facilitated Westy's self combustion and a long seat on the bench.

Fair play award goes to Bones for keeping his cool during Westy's final act in the game, a good old fashioned ear rub to the player on the ground. Spare a thought for poor old Westy though... life must have been hard growing up in the trailer park.
