Thursday Footy

Teams
Whites: Roy, Nigel, Peter, Jim, Craig, Andy
Colours: Keith (20 mins), Mark, Bob, Phil, David, Ian, Matthew

With today’s Local Government Elections taking over the sports hall we were outside tonight. It was a nice night for it. Phil2 was away but Phil returned and Ian’s son, Matthew made his first appearance of the season.

Phil started off in goal for the colours and the game was evenly matched - with Keith up front for the colours and David a ball boy for the first quarter.

Keith went off and was replaced by David. By this point the colours were playing well and were two goals up. It just wasn’t like them - playing so well outdoors! Bob made an excellent save, diving to his left…Phil2-style!

As the game went on the whites were trying to claw their way back into the game and Phil let in a couple during his second spell but the colours were always well in front.

Teams
Whites: Roy, Nigel, Peter, Jim, Ian
Colours: Keith, Lewis, Mark, Phil2, Phil

The colours had a nightmare game, badly missing Bob. Ian switched over to the whites to even the sides. The whites had a good start and soon took the lead. When they were 3-0 up the colours got one back with a back-heeled backpass from Peter that Jim couldn’t keep out.

Keith and Lewis formed a partnership for the colours but the colours couldn’t find a way through the whites 10-man defence.

The Thursday Footy lads are having a night out at the end of the month - this time even the wives are invited!!

The venue is going to be Michaelangelo’s at Nevilles’ Cross (8pm), with pre-match drinks at the Jardine house apparently.

The whites scored first and Mark managed to find the net first for the colours with a goal from an impossible angle that went in behind Jim’s legs. It was a close game to begin with, until Jim made it 2-1 with a strike to Phil’s right from the left wing. Then the colours ran riot! Keith did well to keep going for the full game.

The whites tried to get back into the game but the colours did the same as last week - frustration tactics - with the ball being played among the colours and back to the ‘keeper if need be.
