Win 6-3 V Petone

The Farts had a great win against Petone 6-3. The Farts had the ball at the start, and within a minute were attacking up the left, with Trapper ghosting into the right hand post behind the defense, perfectly placed to deflect the ball into the net to open the scoring.
Petone came back and equaled, then the Farts again took the ball wide and up the left, Willy driving into the circle and flicking a pass to the RH post where Trapper was again waiting m, this time to smack a reverse slap in the net
The Petone umpire gave them a PC, and somehow failed to notice that it hadn't gone outside the circle and gave then another equaliser.

Another Farts clear out saw Craig with the ball out in front just over halfway, and saw Trapper unmarked on the wing, a great ball and trapper drove towards the circle nut-meging the defender who then ran straight into Trapper catching him in the face, the whistle didn't go, and no sight of a doctor wanting to check for concussion, so trapper rounded the defender, dribbled to the line and pulled back for Matt Booker slot one.
Isaac showed his pace chasing down a ball over 20 metres away and out pacing two Farts players and a petone player that were only 10 metres away from it.

The boys went to the sheds and a well deserved Jet plane - Halftime 3-2

Petone started to tire in the second half and the Farts had sustained pressure, the Petone Umpire even awarding then some PC's. One resulted ina shot that was stopped on the line by a defenders foot, Ants stepped up slotted the stroke.

His second was a pearler, with a run into the circle and nailed the shot past the goalie from the edge of the circle.

Trapper had been subbed off before half time, and came back on, however with a couple of minutes the Petone umpire felt he needed another 5 mins on the sideline to recover, must be an age thing.

the Farts had all the pressure, with drives into the circle from Jason, Ants and Isaac, and more PC's. Trapper drifted to the left wing, and got his hat trick. Although the Farts could and should have had double figures.

Petone pulled back one after a quick break left Timbo to deal with 2 attackers.

Good to see Todd back on the part after resting injury for a couple of weeks.
