"Old Farts" have some life in them left and start WHA masters season off with a Win!

And so another WHA masters season starts, and thankfully given our age and memory ability its a short 7 game one, otherwise we would struggle to the end!

The Farts have entered a team, with a core of “old Farts players, but bolstered with imports on temporary release contracts from their regular franchises (Northern, Varsity, Hutt, Petone and Eastern Women Men’s Team).

So it was a hastily thrown together mob of players that hit the turf last night for the first up game against their old foes the fire breathing (too many hot curry’s) ” Indian Kings”.

The game was an open and fast moving game (apparently because i wasn’t there so relying on player feedback) and the Farts played a simple hold/pass game that worked from the back, with great running/movement up front (now why couldn’t we do that for the last few real games?)

The final result was a win, either 4-1 or 5-1 win, (Rear end couldn’t remember scores or who scored, probably hard for him to see that far up the pitch anyway) .

Amazingly the “Player of day” as chosen by Indians was Rear end  in goal (wonder how many free Ferry trips he bribed them with?).
