RESULT : Skidmarks 2 - 2 Screaming Weasels

It was definately a night of mixed emotions last night, the disappointment of dropping 2 points in a game we really should have won and then the absolute elation and ecstasy of witnessing Peter "The Greek" Dunias "scoring" his first goal...i will explain the reason i say "scoring" a little later!

The team for last night was :
1) Dom "The Baby Rhino" Albrecht
2) Ulundi "Tata Ma Chance, Tata Ma Indica" Makhanya
3) Gary "Party in his pants" Hatfield
4) Luke "That ref was a *%$@#@&" Hatfield
5) Peri "P" Zourides
6) Ricky "Stoke City" Arnold
7) Brendan "3 on 1" McNiven
8) Peter "Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!!!! he finally scored" Dunias

We were a little short this week with The Ginja Ninja's hamstring playing up and the loss of Bruce but we brought in the more than capable Rickyi "Stoke City" Arnold for this game. Thanks for the referral Allison "Ching Ching" Arnold!

We got off to a good start with The Baby Rhino slightly losing control of the ball in the box - who would have thought The Baby Rhino's first touch doing that :) - but the ball fell invitingly to Gary on the edge of the area who thumped the ball emphatically into the net - 1-0. We kept pressurising the opposition but as is always the case their goalkeeper was in superb form.

The referee then suffered his first moment of madness when he awarded the opposition a penalty for a supposed 2 on 1 tackle when the Ninja had failed to clear the ball from the corner. Very dubious decision....Screaming Weasels converted the penalty to make the scores 1-1.

Thats the way it stayed till half time, 2nd half we continued the pressure but their goalkeeper was like Fat Bastard in goals with nothing getting past him. Then somehow the ref missed a 2 on 1 tackle on the Baby Rhino deep in our half and from that the opposition managed to lob B Dogg to put them 2-1 up.

We again began pummeling the goal but to no avail until.....we received a decision in our favour for a change, a free kick about 3 metres outside the area with about 3 minutes left to play. There was a lot of jostling going on in the area and The Ginja Ninja decided the customary toe-poke at goal was called for, the shot was on target but was covered by the goalkeeper BUT Peter "Put your back into it" Dunias sneezed or tripped into the path of the ball, which deflected off his back and into the top corner....hence the term "scored"!!! 2-2

We had chances to win on the closing stages and because we were pushing up so much, we were left exposed at the back and with 20 seconds to play the Weasels broke with 3 players and just lonely little B Dogg in goals. Somehow he pulled off 2 incredible point blank saves and recovered the ball in time for the ref to blow the full time whistle!

Golden Skidmark is as below :

1) Luke "Ginja Ninja" Hatfield - 4
2) Gary "Jack Nicholson" Hatfield - 4
3) Peter "There is more where that came from" Dunias - 1
4) Bruce "The Matrix" Andersen - 1
5) Dom "The Baby Rhino" Albrecht - 1

The ironic thing is, is that my next poll was gonna be "Will The Greek ever score a goal ?" - guess that one is settled.

Here is the log exculding last nights game, as u can see, the teams to beat as per usual will be Village Idiots and Euro Utd! Gotta keep that goal difference up guys!



Will post next weeks fixture shortly, again i remind you we are going to have to be doing some "shuffling" in the coming weeks to accomodate all players so don't go home and gas yourself if you get "rested" for a week :)
