Well sports fans, abit of a dreary weekend for our heroes.
The AB's created their own demise, as did the Farts, however the warriors ere just given a good old fashioned thrashing.
The only bright spot in the weekend was that Johann Holzenstien won the Northern Ukranian Blind Curling championships for the 5th time in a row. For those that missed his winning shot, I'm hoping to secure footage for the blog, in negotiations with Rupert Murdoch at present, but as this is a world famous event, unlikely to be cheap!
Anyway, on to the Farts. Although we managed to field a quite strong starting lineup, and have some impact players on the bench (i think the manager has been reading Graham Henry's Autobiography again) and an umpire, we were simply outclassed in the deft touches department. I still think we could have held our own, but we came with our "B game, not our best, and the results showed. Down 3 - 2 at half time, YW scored a reply less double in the second.
The Farts just let themselves down with sloppy passing (bearing in mind YWCA showed great touches often to trap the ball) and also too often holding onto the ball for too long, where a quick release would have seen our faster wingers away.
Having said that, players still put in the effort, Leon again was committed to tackle, tackle, tackle and both Nuts and Todd were strong in backs.
The Farts got their second stroke in 2 games, and again weren't able to convert it. Robbie took it, and the goalie saved, as punishment Robbie has been stood down for the next month or so and banished to holidays overseas!
Goals
1 - Dave L again utilising the "foot of god"
1 - Wayne - lucky, was just in the right place at the right time, and got a kindly deflection of a YWCA stick over the line
MVP
3 - Glen - with out his overpowering prescence in goal the farts could well have conceded double figures, although he needs to school up on "back and around" passing, Leon passed back to him and he promptly tried a drop goal from 100 metres!
2 - Veitchy, was very quiet late in the second half, mainly as he had run himself into the ground
1- Adrian - good solid game as always, often not flashy but always there and deserved more than this (i didn't pick the points....)

Rumour has it Robbie missed the stroke because of undue restrictions of movement in his mid-region. It is purely coincidental that the waistband of his shorts was riding level with his nipples.
It must have been close to starting to cut off circulation to his brain.
