RESULT : Skidmarks 9 - 1 Ryan

A very good opening to the season for The Skidmarks, this being our championship chasing season we know our goal difference is going to be important, so no more relaxing when the game is won, we need to punish teams like red-headed stepchildren! and boy did we punish Ryan, he looked a bit tired towards the end of the game but so would u if u played by yourself *

The Skidmarks applied the pressure from the get go with Ryan unable to get the ball out of his....their half. The early pressure told when The Ginja Ninja broke down the middle with Gary "Fat Bum" Hatfield to his right, the ball was rolled into Garys path and his shot was deflected to The Ninja to tap into an empty net...1-0. The second goal was a team effort with Fat Bum picking the ball up in the corner, laying the ball to Bruce who in turn rolled the ball back to The Ninja who crackerlackerjacked it into the top corner....2-0.....the 3rd goal was another break down the middle by the Ninja who again laid the ball to Fat Bum who slotted the ball cooly past the keeper this time...3-0. Although we were playing some awesome passing and running football we got a bit lax at the back and allowed Ryan to pull a goal back....3-1. The 4th goal was another break down the middle by the Ninja with Dom "I have a new job" Albrecht to his left and Fat Bum again lurking on the right....but with Dom drawing the one remaining defender towards him The Ninja got stingy....his mishit shot tho somehow found its way through the legs of the shit....i mean unlucky goalkeeper...hattrick....4-1.....Dom "The ball hated me" Albrecht missed an open goal with his left foot before redeeming himself to somehow poke the ball in from an almost impossible angle to make the score an impressive 5-1 @ halftime.

The 2nd half is a bit of a blur but i will try talk you through the goals cos i know thats why u r reading this, not for the pictures, videos and generally witty comments *.

Spanky G / Fat Bum / Party in his pants got his 2nd goal like this....in his own words :

"the defender porned it, due to incredible pressure from Spanky G, who then ran through and hit an unstoppable drive low past the keeper"

6-1

Shortly after that he completed his hattrick when he hit a rather tame shot to the near post which the "unlucky" goalkeeper - with his rather trendy Breyton Paulse like afro - fumbled into the net....7-1

Bruce then got into the act of scoring of being the provider for most of the game when the ball was crossed to him low and hard and he side footed the ball past the helpless goalkeeper...8-1

But wait, we weren't finished, The Ninja broke down the left cut the ball onto his right foot and fired a speculative shot into the near post which the goalkeeper really should have done better with....but didn't.....9-1

So a solid good start to the season by The Skidmarks, with our default 5-0 victory last week, we should be sitting pretty near the top of the league.

The Golden Skidmark stands like this at the moment :

1) Luke "Bandages" Hatfield - 4
2) Gary "Jack Nicholson" Hatfield - 3
3) Bruce "The Matrix" Andersen - 1
4) Dom "No left foot" Albrecht - 1

Will post next weeks fixture shortly and i am sure our loyal readers can't wait for a video so that will also come up with the next post.

Keep it real, keep it fun....and keep it brown!
