Match report by Colin
The final game 2 of the season was a warm one, a hastily rearranging of players saw Sean shoved kicking and screaming across the divide to balance the teams.
Dasher was also drafted due to being a bit too quick for game 1, though at 80 he certainly should be proud to be moving at such pace.
Blacks lined up with Prak in goal initially, Mark G sweeping, ๐, Colin and Mark ๐ฒ๐ฒ across the middle with Alan and Dasher up front.
Reds started with Keith in goal, ๐, Maj, Kev, Sean and Danish duo Henning and Henrik all interchanging their positions
The goalscoring got underway, not sure how. I seem to recall Keith with the ball in his area and then ๐ had scored. 1-0 blacks
Sean, now in goal, well that’s where he should have been, saved a Dasher shot giving away a penalty, but a goal post, Seans leg combo kept out the penalty and follow up.
This whole report could be subtitled “The Dasher Show” he had multiple shots at goal and was successful on 2 occasions making the score 3-0 blacks.
The game ebbed and flowed with Sean earning the Golden Gloves for his sterling display between the sticks, a post match decision was made by the tall glove man to ditch all of them given the petri dish qualities of them.
So we reached the end of the match with no more score and a few beers were consumed to mark the end of the season

With Mark โฝ๎ dropping out due to maintenance requirements on his apartment. The grumbling Big Irish man ๐ณ moved to game 2, which meant once again ๐ฆ had to step into Game 1, and this time, staying in goal.
Looking at the size of Black Team, I thought the Reds were in for a tough game but it didn’t work out that way for a while.
Both keepers, Steve ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ and ๐ฆ made good saves in the 1st period, keeping the score nil nil at the drinks break.
Into the 2nd period the Reds took the lead and in fact went 2 nil up.
I’ve no idea who scored, possibly Garry โ๏ธand or Martyn ๐ฉบ.
However the Blacks pulled one back through Terry ๐ฆน๐ผโโ๏ธ.
The 3rd was being played with some good football by both sides.
Notable in this period was the Reds had 3 attempts on goal in 3 seconds, with Steve ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ in the Black goal making a triple save by his torso, hand and face.
Into the final period came the goal of the game.
The score by now was 5-4 to the Blacks.
The ball was played to Geoff ๐ฆ on the edge of the goal area. His effort, hit the near post bounced of the far post and came to the feet of the ๐ฆน๐ผโโ๏ธ. ๐ฆ made it back across goal. But ๐ฆน๐ผโโ๏ธ simply dragged the ball back and flicked the ball into the net from behind him. Nice goal Terry.
No doubt all his customers got to hear about it in great deal too…๐
The game ended 6-4 to the Blacks, with pretty much everyone knackered. It was hot out there.
A good game, a good goal Terry๐ฆน๐ผโโ๏ธ
But MOTM goes to Ian ๐ฌ๐ฅ
He played well out on the right for the Blacks. Nice touches, good one twos. Tracked back and worked well…
Hope to see you all in September.
