RESULT : Skidmarks 6-3 Ryan

Okie Dokie then, this is Ginj Ninj here....and with me being in the land of the pasty....yes i am pasty too i know that....they didn't even need to check my passport when i got here, they saw the white skin and the ginger and said "Welcome home", then i fell to my knees and kissed the floor...it was a beautiful moment!

Anyway as i was saying, Skidmarks played there first game under the new joint management regime of Dom "Watch out for that massive Peri" Albrecht and Peri "Some joke about poo" Zourides and am glad to say they got off to a successful start! well done boys! Please see the match report courtesy of Peri below :

"Morning housefields, so albeit for me to take over the blog responsibilities you’ll be pleased to know that the joint management venture of Dom and Peri as care taker managers/players of the Skidmarks, we got off to a winning start.

Ryan weren’t the greatest team but a wins a win. As expected everyone ventured forward leaving me at the back like a young school child at after care waiting for their parents. We fell behind 2-0 after lost possession on each occasion cost us, but we fought back with 2 goals in 2 min to level things up. Just before halftime fell 3-2.

2nd half was much better as ppl realized their roles and helped out on defence, we equalized with what may have been the most fortuities goal of the season or the most skilled. Richard “I took a dump before the game” Kenny burst into the area firing a shot that bounced off the wall/post only to have it rebound head height and Richard to acrobatically header home. If he tried it 100 times he may score it again twice ,if the bounce is right. So 3-3 and there after it was pretty easy, final score was 6-3 as they started tired and gave the ball away.

Brendan came the closest to scoring I think he ever has, breaking the length of the field only to have the post stop his glory, he did setup 1 of the goals though leaving his area and setting up Dom if I remember correctly.

My pursuit of the golden skidmark also got off to a start with me dispossessing a defender and firing low and hard for our 6th goal. (Peri, u only mention 3 goals in the blog post? what about every1 else....amateurs...tut tut - Ginja)

So we survived our first game without fat bum and ginja, the Greek took over the role of the slow step over from Gary, Bruce took over the “ill run into the corner and shoot every time role” from luke.

Oh and in true skidmarks fashion here is the team sheet:

Brendan “watch your step coussie” Mcniven
Peter”I should pay half cause im unfit” Denias
Ulundi “I still don’t have my own shirt” Makhanya
Dom “peri has a hard head” Albrecht
Peri “I took a dump at home” Zourides
Richard “how did I score that header” Kenny
Bruce “I can clean your pool” Andersen

Absent from the game was:

Mike “dom, listen I know its late but I have to break up with my girlfriend tonight” Lyndon

By the way Mmbambo have been dropped, my friend Nuno who runs the venue is entering a team in their place so we going to play 1 extra game at the end of the season to make up for the lost one.

Well gotta head back to work, im sure u guys are doing your best not embarrass South Africans anymore, luke keep your shirt for the first few months.

Oh by the way dom loved his plastic flower, said he was going to hang it out his window, brendan was excited in a odd way to get that horse slapper thing, greek kept trying to spank him with it so maybe there’s a sub plot there."

Thanks Peri, not too bad if i do say so myself, i did some research and found out the other goalscorers and thus, here is the Golden Skidmark standings :

1. Dom "Scarface" Albrecht - 2
2. Richard "How the f#ck can he be joint top G.S" Kenny - 2
3. Luke "Need a game of footie " Hatfield - 1
4. Peri "Wilbur Smith" Zourides - 1
5. Bruce "My pick for G.S" Andersen - 1

So thats all the Skidmarks news for now, as for Gary and I, well its lovely and overcast here as usual, Gary is working now, me I am just chilling for the moment, weighing up my options but should be startin something in the next week or so. Haven't managed to organise a game of football yet but am making a plan :) Here's a pic from the balcony of my sisters flat this morning.
