More points for 3s

Memories from the weekend

• Another good warmup from Poults
• Settled into our game nice and quickly despite a few new additions in the squad, injured Timmy P running the subs efficiently from the side
• Dobbie and Lappin were marshalling the midfield nicely
• Felix & Littleboy making good ground down the flanks
• Managed to get a couple of shorts, one turned in by Littleboy (although I was so far away I couldn’t see what happened….not that I’m bitter about not being in the short corner routine)
• Went in at half time 1 up – Littleboy sporting a nice bruise just under his eye
• The Oxford Uni kids changed their formation and came at us hard
• This allowed a couple of good breakaways for us, although seeing Elliot all on his own attempt to beat three defenders at the top of the D was hilarious
• Toon set Elliot up with a chance, with his attempted shot trickling off the end of his stick in to no mans land, allowing Toon to miraculously find the inside post with a reverse stick shot to make it 2-0, off he set screaming along the sideline as though he’d just won the World Cup – “where IS he going?” shouted Lappin
• Unfortunately we still had 20 odd minutes to go – to be fair to Oxford, they absolutely pummelled us
• Stout defending from the back line, especially Tufty, managed to keep them at bay
• Pondy also making numerous saves, including about four in a row on the floor, before the Uni boys managed to scoop it home
• Still another 10 minutes to go, we did our best to keep the ball – and managed it in parts but still had to rely on more gung ho defending to keep our hard earned 3 points intact

MOTM Pondy
DOTD Terrible pass from Littleboy and then offering, and then refusing to get his head shaved next week……………….and then realising he’s away anyway
