COWHC Men's 2s vs Purley Walcountians Men's 3s - 15th October 2016

Cocksy asked all the lads to arrive early for a team meeting before the game. A whole 70 minutes before the game in fact. And boy it work! Steelers and Will both marshalled the troops with bits of paper, hand pointing and Mars bars. We were pumped….!

Game got started and we went all guns blazing! Ash and Ollie made a couple of nice runs. Will and Steelers were bossing the midfield. And then it happened. Kailesh pulled. Sorry I meant scored. He pulled L*n*. But he scored our first goal. We were now on top!

Purley had a couple of old men in defence who were rock solid – similar age to Hutchy infact. Speaking of Hutch he turned up in women’s yoga pants. He received 3 DoD votes for this weird and confusing act. Back to Purley’s defence, they were old boys who knew what they were doing which made it hard for us to break through.

10 minutes left into the game and we began to get a bit wobbly. We needed this second goal to secure the 3 points. Someone needed to step up. Step up Ollie. After a bit of ping ball action he decides to attempt the audacious; he reverse flicks it, lobs the keeper and creeps into the top left corner. What a goal. Goal of the month so far.

5 minutes left into the game and we were in cruise control. Yours truly (Indy) is through on goal. Ash to his right. We now find ourselves in a two on one situation with the goalie not fancying his chances. Indy decides to reverse stick pass to Ash BUT Ash wasn’t quick enough to get there. Goalie saves. Ash is angry. Indy got DoD for this kind and noble act. #NotCool

Overall really solid game. Great to get our first win under our belt.

We now have a 2 week break till our next game. Maybe we can get a pitch booked and do some 7 vs 7.

MoM – Will and his Mars bars

DoD – Indy (controversial). Should have been Ash for not getting on the end of my “pass.”
