Match report Sun 21st Jun V Victoria 4 - drew 7-7

It seemed like ages since the farts last turned up to a match with 12 players!
This game also saw the return to the red and black, and he certainly made an impact in the first half. The team actually had a reasonably familiar feel to it (something we’ve struggled with recently) with Leon back as well. Having said that we experimented with Veitchy in centre e half, Adrian freed up at right half to attack some more and Warwick played his second return game in the forwards.
They only had 8 players, so the Farts loaned them Shaun (mistake number 1! He played well and scored for Varsity as well!).
It was an open game with lots of running, and often good passing into open spaces. Varsity showed good skill levels at trapping and cutting off the too frequent through balls (Old Farts habits die hard), but still a fast moving and enjoyable game.
The end result was a 7 all draw (believe it or not) so the fans that paid to come and cheer on their favourite side certainly got value for money.

Goal scores for Farts were
Dave L – 3 goals, the second a cracker, a pass from Wayne into Dave around mid circle saw dave flick it up over the goalie just under the cross bar
Wayne – 2 the second it must be said just dribbled over the line after taking a goal ward deflection off a defender, probably the softest goal scored this year. Having said that Wayne had driven into the circle, earned a PC but given advantage, passed and scored off the save of someone else’s shot so maybe just reward (yes i can here Dave N’s comments now about self promotion.....)
Warwick – great goal, strong surge forward, passed, got pass back and nailed it.
Dave N – gain, in the right place at the right time!

MVP
3 - Dave L – have to after he’s scored three goals, one awesome one and lots of good support play
2- Wayne – yes I know it looks a jack up, but hey, scored three, set up at least one other and lots of running (and besides, I’ve never been given any points before!)
1 – Dave n – good goal, lots of work

Special Mention
Warwick – slotting back into the Farts well, obviously likes a hard track, only finished couple of races but should be a prospect to look out for later in season
Nuts – hard work as usual, blah blah blah (what else can you say?)
