Match report Sun 28th Jun V Rongotai Sports - Drew 2-2

What a weekend that was sports fans!
After a dreary performance by the AB’s on Saturday night, things certainly livened up on the Sunday.

First the farts game, then the Pulse winning!

The farts drew 2-2 with a young bustling Rongatai side. There was lots of free running., lots of action, both hockey and quite a bit of argy bargy!

Paul “I’ll bite your ear off” Veitch was binned in the second half, and although he probably deserved the card, there was certainly a lot of on the ball niggle and lots of off the ball chatter, both form the pitch and the sideline.

Yours truly made up a hat trick for the “I’ve been gouged” club, after a run into the circle and a big shunt from behind saw me sprawling on the turf. Got up with mionor grazing on my knees and then realized someone had turned a tap on in my thumb and blood was just pouring out oif it. Turns out somewhere in the northern circle is a chunk of my thumb, that now looks like a crater!

There were more ‘incidents” to follow for a number of the team.

On the goal front, two very good goals capped off lots of pressure and a number of misses.

Vietchy slotted one in the first half, and Dave N got onto the end of a string of passes and slammed one into the back of the net in the second.

There were missed opportunities; Robbie missed a couple of sitters, and the umpire missed the foot in front of the goal late in the second half!

Leon and Nuts put in big efforst in defence, with Leon doing a number of incisive attacks up the left flank.

MVP’s
3-Robbie (despite 2 missed gimmes), all round good effort
2-Dave N – goal + good battling both in defence and attack
1-Veitchy, tireless running plus goal (but needs to work on his offensive sweep shot!)

Don’t forget casino evening next week, you can pay at the door, I think its $20 a head
