Ever get the feeling of Deja Vu.....

The Farts took the field for their second early game in two weeks.

Still missing Ants (back complaint - maybe tied to recently married) and Al who was off sniffing petrol fumes at Manfield.
Nuts won the toss and chose the ball, and the Farts had early pressure, Jason up the middle and down the right sideline with Trapper carving the defence up.

A free hit outside the circle was dribbled sideways by Matt, then driven in, trapper got a stock to it and nudged it onto a Hutt foot for a PC. Toddy stepped up, and slammed the ball goalwards to collect a defender on the way, its ended up dribbling into the goal but the umpire had given a stoke!

Trapper stepped up, and slotted it high on the right side.

Hutt had some pressure, including several PC's and forcing Damon to save off the line although the defence held out.

Nuts subbed himself onto the left wing, and wily moved into the CF position, and clearance from the halves found wily, driving into the circle and past a defender a lay off to Nuts and Farts were 2-0 up.

UH pulled one back, and the Farts went to the sheds 2-1 up. Nuts and Wily reiterated the pregame plan, play wide, move the ball.

The second half however felt like Deja Vu from the previous week, The game opened up, and UH played a structured game, with plenty of passing, however the Farts played an individual game, with players often receiving the ball in space but then dribbling into contact to lose the ball rather than moving it to other players in space, and trying to force the ball up the middle.

Some strange malady seemed to effect players too, as even stalwarts like Craig just couldn't seem to hit the ball consistently, with a number of fluffed shots and even more soft passes direct to UH players.

the net result was UH clawed back to level, then scored the winner.

The Farts had some pressure in the second half, including a couple of PC's but weren't able to get even close to scoring.

UH won 3-2, and deserved to win, with more structure and moving the ball around the park, something this Farts teams struggles to do for more than a half.

There was no play based MVP's this week, due to the overall crap performance of the team. Timbo does deserve a mention as he kept the scoreline to a close event.

Rearend picked up a point for Umpiring, and the Bookers got half a point each for the oranges.
