Match report Wed 28th V Harbour City Chargers lost 6-4

A bright and sunny weekend turned to a cold and rainy short week as the Farts prepared to take the field last night- star players Ash and Dave L were both unable to attend, Mikey rescheduled his entire family's night (what a guy) and Nuts played despite being sickly .
Fortunately the rain stayed away, and the track was hard and fast (as always!).
A late call up found the Farts only knowing about the fancy dress "p" theme the day before, needless to say we turned out in the familiar and badly misshapen green and white checks with a choice of themes:- poofs, pansies, plonkers etc. The shirts really do look like they have been lived in by a team of very wide but very short dwarfs, as the only difference in the sizing is width, from wide to extra wide.
Anyway, we took the field with a compliment of 11, and the first half was a mixture of attack from both sides.
The Farts tried to play the game at pace but most of us weren't up to the same speed as Mike, Scott and Ants. Half time saw us in the shed at 5-3 down, certainly a half with lots of action, 8 goals, and better yet not yellow cards.
Some cracking goals scored, although Marx one was a bit soft. Trapper had a shot at goal that rocketed (well if you were a snail it was real fast) under the gaolie and Marx barely touched it as it sailed over the goal line to claim the goal! (yeah right - truth be know, Trappers shot was so weak it was about to stop and have a breather having already travelled three feet and Marx had to finish it off!)
Scotty and Mike both found the back of the net with thumping drives shots, strangely Trapper had an "assist' for both these goals as well (maybe he should get MVP's?), but in both these cases they were genuine passes (maybe that’s a skill he should teach Ants?)
Scotty’s goal was a particularly veritable pearler of strategic thought and effort. He was about to hit off (as Harbour had scored again) when the call from the ever vigilant and thinking RW was to do a "Lewin". Scotty took a self tap, dribbled past a couple of players, quick flick out to the RW, who then beat the rest of the team with pace and skill (yeah right) and passed back to Scotty in the circle to hammer home.
So the Farts have a new saying, doing a "Lewin"! Thanks Dave L, although you weren't there you still had an assist with a goal!
In the second half it was much more even; we ended the half with a draw, 1-1. Brent scored a cracker, had a lot more ball and made good use of it. The Farts looked better overall with more pressure, but couldn't convert.
So the Farts ended their 3rd game again winless, but able to hold their heads up high (those that had energy!)
Goal Scorers 1 each Scotty, Mike, Marx, Brent

MVP
3 - Mike (player of the day) - great efforts, encouraging, good team talk at half time, looked good in the shirt, nice hair style (he did score a gaol and play ok as well!)
2 - Peter S - final tally is 2 MVP points, but the equation is 3 points for Pharaoh costume (only player that wore fancy dress) - 2 points for taking off his shirt at the after match function and scaring children, small animals etc, plus 1 for efforts on the field - total 2 pts.
1- Scotty - gets a point for playing whole game (on the field!) (Again, yes, he did score a goal and played well but that’s a boring reason to give MVPs)
