Four up three down

Twenty minutes into the opening stanza, and it looked as though these pleas had touched the hearts of the SS defence. Numerous attacks down the Dux right wing were foiled by one of the stalwarts of the Sunnyside defense, Timmy Tackle. Any foray which did breach Tackles, show 'em the sideline defense, were soon brought to an abrupt halt by either Trig or Dirty Dave.

It was sad to see the Dux strikers revert to what some would call dirty pool, when they started to lob head high balls across the Strikers goal box, which on occasion left the lads looking like Rabbits, caught in the headlights of the 50/50 ball.

From 0-0 at the 20 minute mark, the Strikers were left facing down the barrel of a potential pantsing come half time, and 4-0.

Fantastic citrus delight at half time sent the team back out onto the park with a surprising spring in their steps despite the score line. All caution was thrown to the wind by the boys, and although they did concede a further five goals, the standard of football in the second stanza was of a very high standard. To put it simply, The Dux were lucky there wasn't a further couple of halves. A couple of opportunities from the Strikers front line, who seem to have lost some of the goal scoring knack they had early season went begging before Dirty Dave managed to fat one hard enough into Drag'M s sweed to rebound into the top left of the Dux's goal. It may have been 7-1, but the moral victory was ours.

After 90 minutes of toil, Dux De Lux deservedly came out 9-1 victors. A score line that many of the Strikers supporters thought didn't accurately reflect what was a barnstorming match.

Well we got spanked but we had fun. That is lesson from today's sermon.
