Match report sun 12th Jul V Indians Lost 4 - 2

Sunday was wet, cold, miserable, and that was just in the changing sheds. Apart from Glens short foray outside (for a fag), the Farts huddled in the visitors shed at the NHS, discussing pre-match tactics, Nuts lack of anything hard and how Robbie manages to get his pants pulled up so far and still walk

Eventually we ventured out into the even colder outside, where it was even more miserable and the wind was blowing, so pre game warm up was running accross to the team shelters on the other side of the field, and then huddling in there.

The game was actually quite a good game to play, the teams were evenly matched (unlike the scoreline) and it was quite open and fast paced. It was a bit physical, and in true Indians style was umpired "by committee", however that's all part and parcel of 22 grown men thinking they are still 20ish.

Graham Henry may have dropped the rotation policy as a way to blood new talent, but the farts are still using it (to some success) to find new players for the future.
This game saw the blooding of new young talent, future stars of the Fart one would hope, and in Thomas's case probably a lot further into the future (think hes still at college?)

Thomas played well, and even had a stint for Indians when they were a player short to start, although he was a little to enthusiastic in attack for them, needs to temper that when playing for the opposition.

Cameron added skill, pace and aggression into the halves, and played well. Shades of a young Robbie, sometimes he seemed to want to stay in the forwards......
However he played well and certainly made a difference.

Dave N managed to snaffle another goal, for a left wing he spends an awful amount of time ion front of goal, but the goal was a "doosie", ball passed from his right, hit first time up into the top LH corner of the goal.

Vietchy scored in the second half, he finished of the hard work that the right wing had done, (he really had the easy part....), Wayne was involved in a couple of passes, then dribbled into the circle, flicked past a wall of defenders (well one but he was big!) to Vietchy who it must be said scored a good goal!

Dave L was denied a goal in the first half when a Indians defenders slide in to deflect the ball at the last mninute.

All in all, a good game, all be it a dissapointing result.

Goals
Dave N - 1
Vietchy - 1

MVP
3-Cameron, outstanding effort and skills.
2-Veitchy, great overall effort and goal
1-Thomas, great effort in his first game for the farts, showed good courage and not affraid to tackle guys twice his age and waist size.

I only spend time in front of the goal because I don't have the energy to move back down the field.
