MacFarlane Park may have its history but there were no sign of shotgun wielding
spectators at this match... doggy do yes... but no shotguns. The game was played
in good spirits and fun was had by all.
The Strikers dominated the first half with a cacophony of shots at or somewhere
near the goal. Quality not quantity should have been the catch slogan. The
Squires' goalie soon grew tired of retrieving missed shots from the neighbors
back yard. Things finally came together with
One Touch converting a superb
headered goal from a precision cross by
Groggy.
Hoffa must have thought all his
Christmases had come at once. He quickly realised he
was wrong when he missed an open goal from twenty out. He followed up with a
goal which was awarded to The Fonz as it
had already crossed the line. To top off his first half, he headered a corner
cross into the ground and over the goal from five yards out.
As expected, things went sick in the second half.
Tin Tin gave another fine demonstration
in how to get into good position to score and then totally screw it up. Some
would argue that one from ten is a reasonable conversion rate... others...
well... er... drag'm!
Top performance from Jesus who spent
the first half in the keepers top and came out in the second half to score a
hat-trick in the first thirty. As is the custom he was promptly dragged from the
field so the rest of the team had a chance.
In summary, a goal scoring fest that was at times comical.
