Old Farts go down with weakened team

The Old Farts took the field last night with only 10 players, including the call up of umpire Rearend back into the starting line up as the 2nd stand in goalie (with Footie away and Vinvce out due to injjury).

YWCA were kind enough to supply an 11th man, and also both umpires, a refreshing change compared to other clubs we've come up against this year.

The first half was a bit of an arm wrestle, both teams having chances and i think both umpires struggling to see in the poor lighting.  

YWCA went one up. The Frats had a period camped in the RH corner, Trapper took a number of quick long corners, then a quick free hit to Craig who deflected into the circle  a scramble around the spot and Danial (on loan from YW) scored.

When the half time whistle went YW had added a couple to be up 3-1.

in the second half  the Farts certainly had some chances but run out of steam and gradually sucumbed to YW's pressure. 

There were a couple of fast break outs  that could have resulted in goals  including Phil diving headlong to connect to a Trapper run and pass and Zac beating the goalie only to miss an open goal.

There was some strong defence in the second half especially Nuts putting all his efforts into it, and Al running like someone half his age. Willy pulled up lame with 6 or so minutes to go, and certainly looks destined for the physios bench (they shot horses don't they?) for a while.

The final score (6-1) flattered YW a bit, but full praise to them for the spirit in which the game was played in, YW who supplied both umpires and provided a player for us , Danial, who played his heart, scored our only goal and got MVP

A number of players are injured and looks like we might struggle to maintain a full team.
