Match Report Rnd 2 V Victoria, Sunday 5th

Round 2 of the new season and the Farts managed to field a full time (and some reserves and an umpire!).

With some players still struggling to recover from last weeks game (Willie was it true you drank that much!) and Ants deciding that the level of Hockey in R2 was too much for him and therefore going to a less demanding grade (P2?) the team had tinges of new ness.
We managed to lower the average age again (thanks to Aldo and Shaun), but the old faces were back again.

Anyway, the Farts had all the pressure in the first half, but due to good goalkeeping only managed to go to the oranges break at 1-1. It was an exclellnet and deserved goal to Scotty, after wayne drove into attack (from a scotty pass), but the ball ended up back with scotty and found the back of the net.

In the 2nd half Victorias youth (read fitness and a much lower average body weight) saw themscore three opportunist goals. The Farts still had most of the pressure but only converted once through Veitchy.

Overall it wasn't a bad 2nd game of the season, The farts are traditionally slow starters, and tend to be looking to peak later in the season (for the prize giving?).

MVP for the day
3 points - Scotty - good goal, good overall game, lots of energy and running.
2 points - Muzza , solid game in defence, and managed to appear in the attack line a couple of times, in fact its a sight to see, Muzza at full flight, stomach creating an aerodynamic advantage, hair streaming back!
1 point - Dave N, some good runs up the left flank, and just missed a goal with a shot slightly wide.

Next game is till 19th, enjoy your easter, but watch the calories (yer right, watch them pack on the waist!).
