Dads Army
6 players either couldn’t play or didn’t show up. Luckily Graeme Higgins was there to help out and we managed to wake Duncan from a sleep to come and help out. Frank was injured and couldn’t run. Wardy was injured and couldn’t hold the stick properly. Bevan copped a hit in the knee. Mick injured his ribs again. I got sent off for scoring a goal. Todd got sent off for something and Wardy for something else, and we still managed to go to the break two nil up. Travis had a great game down the back and Todd played well at centre half. Lee sat deeper in defense at inside right and that helped us out of our half. Duncan again was solid as was Bevan. Graeme was all over them at right wing forcing penalties and giving us the first few opportunities. (pay me later Graeme)
Standouts BevanComan, Duncan Leeder, Graeme Higgins, Travis Heaps, Todd Crane.
We held solid at the back through Bevan and worked the ball out of defense well. Travis combined with Bevan and Lee to build up the play and we got into space more often than not. Unfortunately
we had a number of opportunities that found the post the keeper or the back wall. (Not all of them my fault) And it wasn’t until the last 10 when Duncan made a lead up-field to the left post for a nice goal.
