RESULT : Skidmarks 3-3 Apple iPods

Well we'll take the point but to be honest we deserved all 3....pity the ref was so pissed he thought he saw a hand growing out of Bruce's shoulder!!!

Nonetheless we played pretty well, took an early 2-0 lead through myself and Barnabus....then Gary and the Rhino got sold like packets of chips to make the score 2-1 at half time. Then a cracker of a toe-poked free kick from Gary (must have been watching me all these years) restored our 2 goal lead. That didn't last very long as a crucial, terrible decision went against us, with Bruce on the floor, the ball rebounded off the wall onto his shoulder and the clearly drunk referee gave iPods a lifeline when they slotted the penalty home. We kept probbing away and really should have put the game out of reach by the time the iPods struck a brilliant 3rd goal to tie up the scores which is how it ended.

The team for the game was :
1) Gary "Scared of Dogs" Hatfield
2) Luke "Ginja Ninja" Hatfield
3) Dom "Baby Rhino" Albrecht
4) Mike "Sherbert Herbert" Herb
5) Brendan "Friend of the Old Guy" McNiven
6) Bruce "No Nickname" Anderson
7) Mike "No Nickname" Lyndon
8) Jonathan "Darren Fletcher" Hancock

Here are the standings for the Golden Skidmark Award :
1) Barney - 3
2) Dom - 2
3) Gary - 2
4) Luke - 1

As you will notice there is a distinct lack of nickname for Bruce & Mike....please post any suggestions in the comments section below.
