Match report Sun 5th V Karori 2 - Won 5-3

Its been a long time coming, and glad I didn't hold my breath, but the farts passing game started to show up on sunday. The first half at least started and then continued for most of the half with short passing, lots of square and triangle balls, 5 to 10 metre stuff, and to be honest, we looked good doing it.

Towards the end of the firdst half, and the second half in general we rebverted to more long balls, but this was indicitive of the gaps opening up as both teams tired especially in the home straight.

With the game opening up in the second half, and my abscence from right wing, Robbie was able to push up and sea gull around the circle, and he did a good job of latching onto some long passes.

Other good work was done by Dave N up the left flank, and the halves all had a high work rate.

Nuts as usual had a solid game in defence, and even had a run at right wing as well before sanity prevailed and he was despatched back to defence!

Ants put in a cameo role, and showed he can still slot back into our lower grade team when hes finsihed playing up in the clouds!

Warwick continued to show the old skills are still there, although he may be missing for a while as he came off in the 2nd half with a hammy strain.

This week also saw a new tactic in Toddy being the recieved for PC's. With his hit strength this provides a new weapon alongside dave L's more tactical flicks.

All in all it was a good game, it was open and lots of contested ball, but clean and a good feeleing to play agaionst a team more our age!

Goals
Dave L - 2
Paul V - 2
Warwick - 1

MVP
3 - Paul V - scored 2 goals and big work rate in halves
2 - Warwick, great goal, lifted it purposely over the diving goalie, and some other very close shots, also good support work
1 - Nuts - he turned up, he abused most of the players, and he looked funny with his pants pulled up to his nipple line
