2 game reviews, both wins!

Won 2-1 V YWCA Sunday 8th
Ahh, those were the days....preparing the night before, getting all your gear ready for the Game first thing Saturday morning, those that can remember college hockey will remember those times well.

Things have changed, no longer do we need to check our studs (for tightness, not to see if they are sharp), oil our sticks or make sure we pack a head band to keep the hair out our eyes.

Last week, the Farts had a 9.45 game, the first early start for a long time, the biggest challenge now when scheduled to play at that time is to make sure we aren’t too “fragile”.

But it was a reasonably full team that took the field except Nuts was crook, he came to watch, coach and bring the oranges – That man deserves a DB! A game of few incidents (or at least none that i can remember) except to say that we should have won by more than 2-1. They had a youngish side, but lacked experience, and we played like a team that lacked ‘team’ in the first half, and couldn’t put away the opportunities in the second, but a win is a win!

Won 2-1 V Indians, 15th July
A wild and wet weekend, but it cleared (well sort of) by the time the Frats took the field. The numbers were down with Al and Nuts both away, Toddy carrying an injured foot , Tim turned up late and Trapper was hit in the foot buy a thumping pass by Toddy at the start of the warm up!

So Rearend played in goal (minus his glasses, he took them off in the sheds to get into his gear then couldn’t find them – even though they were on the bench next to his gear! – he played the whole first half without them) and Trapper Umpired.

Indians came out firing in the first half, and the game was pretty even, with the teams huddling in the shed at half time 0-0. The second half the Indians started to fade, both in running and cohesion (I’ve never know teams to argue so much between themselves as Indians teams do!).

Isaac had a fair flying shot just saved in the first half, and this encouraged him to press on in the second, and finally he got one to thump the backboard. A later scramble around the circle had the ball go across the top, deflected towards the goal off an Indians stick which had the goalie going the wrong way, , then Matty somehow got a faint nick and the ball trickled across the goal line.
Indians managed to pull one back with a couple of minutes to go, but it was too late to score again and the final score was 2-1.

Goals
1-Isaac
1-Matt

MVP
3- Todd – played very well considering he had a damaged foot (from an earlier game), and some great tackling
2- Isaac – lots if running and activity, good goal
1- Rearend – deserves a point for playing a half in goal with no glasses, and managing to affect some saves as well.
1- Trapper – Umpired, and a great game he had to.
1- Jason – oranges – and brought some jelly beans for halftime, but didn’t tell anyone!
