Old Farts V Young Guns, the battle continues..........................

The well anticipated club clash between Naenae 3 (Old Farts) and Naenae 4 (new Young Guns) saw a 10 strong team of Old Farts up against the 15 strong Naenae 4 team. The scene was set early as the old farts did their usual warm up of smacking the ball into the net and talking about the week that was. Naenae 4 had a considerable warm up routine going on, we were a little worried to say the least.

As was the intensity of the grudge match no one from Naenae 4 wanted to help the Old Farts out, so we took to the field with 10 men. Old Farts wearing the alternate strip opened the scoring early, which spurred the opposition on to come back to score an equaliser off a PC.

The Farts soon fell into the rhythm of looking for searching passes through to the forwards and we found ourselves at the break 2-1 up or was it 3?

The second half saw a more determined Young Guns change tactics and play theirs attackers higher putting the Toddy/Nuts defence combo under pressure. Willie ran out of juice and retired to a defensive left half position, whilst Isaac, Dave L and Jason continued to work their magic up the front.

Finally the final whistle came with the Old Farts victorious 5 - 2.

Goal scorers:
Dave L 2
Issac 1
Willie 1
Jason 1

MVP
3 - Issac
2 - Jason
1- Willie (oranges)
