Red: Jack, Oz, Ahmet, Eddie, Rafi
Yellow: JP, Daniel, Henny, Gerald, Julius
JP appears! Jack appears! Daniel returns after a month off! Julius, Ahmet and Gerald err on the positive side of maybe and Oz remains a stalwart! And with the other team it was a total of 27!!!! So we went 5-a-side, borrowing a few of theirs and left the rest of them to it.
Rafi started the scoring. Yellow equalised and then romped to a 5-2 lead including the scruffiest of scuffles in the red box, Daniel back healing the first attempt, and the loose ball then being hacked goalwards about 5 times in as many seconds, making the drunk keeper (Jack) very dizzy and although JP stood on the periphery screaming to release the ball to him, everyone ignored his pleas and finally Daniel tried a back heal again and scored. But then Red’s superior passing ability paid dividends and they romped to a 8-5 lead. Daniel was nutmegged by Jack three times, the long grass seemed to thwart Rafi and Eddie, JP got frustrated. Although Yellow stopped the flow and got a few of their own, they couldn’t make up the difference.
Final score: Yellow 8 – 11 Red
