Bowler Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 ROUND 3 - Vs. Killer Bee's -BLOOD BATH- Round 3 saw the High Rollas battling the Killer Bee's in what turned out to be a no-holding back procession of hard hitting, heated verbal stouches, and what eventually turned out to be a 6-4 loss. The first half looked promising, with star striker Adam drawing first blood. Keen dribbling from Dave (Never), and key efforts from Sonya (SoyBoy) and Heidi kept the opposing goalie busy. Down the other end, good defence, and a few solid saves (including 1 penalty) kept the team scoreless till the 10th minute mark, where a loose ball mid pitch was struck into an open goal. From then on, the play heated up, with physical and verbal aggression the specials of the day. Another Adam goal saw the score head to 1-2 High Rollas way, however, this was quickly levelled, and 1 up'd by the seemingly fired up men of the Killer Bee's. Half time saw the score 3-2. The second half continued much like the latter part of the 1st. Keen running from Andrew (Blink Kid Seeks), in combination with a tenacious Sonya, and our Ringers, kept play moving quickly. Boot to Shin contact, left Heidi (one of our female ringers) hobbling off the court - to take no further art in the game. A quick leveller from Adam, drew some unsportsmanlike behaviour from the opposing goalie, kicking the ball into Adam's head - which just so happened to be missed by the Ump. This (fair enough too) brought a response from Adam - this seen by the ref, and a Yellow card was drawn for bad sportsmanlike behaviour. A sever moot point of this game was the apparent jovial nature of the Umpire towards the opposing team (not to sound biased or hard done by), which further heightened our resolve to battle on and win. However, more dubious decisions, some sloppiness around defence due to fatigue, left opportunities for the KB's - which taken advantage of. With Dave and Adam, constantly being shutdown by 3 man defensive attacks, we weren't allowed the space needed to get a clear shot. With the score 5-3, Adam, battling on with a sore right arm, we managed to restore some hope with another goal. But too little too late - the game ending in defeat with some extremely promising signs for the future. Overall, a Great team effort. Adam - 4 Goals, Dave, Sonya and Andrew (BKS) - Great Running, passing, dribbling Andrew (Bowler) and Paul - Great Saves and of course a HUGE thanks to "All Nations" for providing us with some fantastic girls, whom without, we would certainly have lost by more...

Bowler Posted November 27, 2008 Report Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) ROUND 4 - Vs. Socranos' -WE WON!!! (And Never Popped His Cherry)- 4 a side is what lay ahead of us at the start of Round 4. With the Starting lineup missing key players Sonya (Soyboy) and Adam, Jo (JoJo when she eventually gets on), Paul, Dave (Never), and Andrew (Me) took to the court, raring to get a win after last Sunday's, errr, "issues". Play was open and running for the first few minutes as the teams felt each other out. Clearly, with Jo running as always, Paul moving the ball forward constantly, and Dave, dazzling everyone with his ball skills (he can play soccer too :P), we gained most of the possession, and quickly Dave put away our first goal of the match. More tooing and frowing between the teams, and the addition of a second girl a side, kept the game moving solidly. The fans (thats right, we have a cheer squad now - once again, thank you All Nations) were being vocal and keeping spirits up. Unfortunatley, a slight miss judgement :dance: on my behalf, allowed a leveller to be scored. By this stage though, We were once again, holding up well in defence, and allowing players loose in our attacking zone. This lead to the ever tenacious Jo to score (her second for the season.) A sub for Dave, allowed Adam on the scene - whom imediately had an impact on the scoreboard. Score - 3-1. Late in the first half, another small misjudgement on my behalf allowed them to claw back a much needed goal, and at the end of the half, the lead was 1 goal. The Second half saw Paul taking over the position of goalie, Jo, Sonya, Adam, and Dave running the ball up the court. by this time however, fatigue was starting to set in on both teams allowed one of their players to pretty much sit in front of the goals. Jo and Sonya ran hard at any contested ball, and generally came out on top with possession (body size does not intimidate these women!) However, 3 good strikes from Adam, were denied by what seems to be the best goalie we've come across to date - plucking, and blocking anything within a dull bullsroar of going in - and hats off to him too...unfortuantely for us, these opportunities, combined with the striker camping at our end, allowed a couple of goals to be scored... A Goalie sub halway into the half, allowed Paul to have a sit down, and a drink in the warm, humid conditions. End to end and a fast paced ball game caused a few slip-ups by the other team, allowing Dave another couple of shots on goal, converting his second (Dave got excited), and allowed a level ball game once agian. another freak goal, that was partially deflected by yours truly, kept the Socranos' ahead by a goal again. However the ever tenacious attack of Sonya, Jo, and Adam, combined to give Jo her second goal of the match, which was a point celebrated even more by the fact that it was against Super Goalie. With the clock counting down, and a look of shear despiration and exhaustion on the opponents faces, shots on our goal were coming think and fast, with one glorious save (apparently...ask Adam) off one of the more spirited women, on the other team, saved certain defeat. A quick turn around, and a little space afforded Adam, to convert again after 3467 fail attempts already that game (that goalie was good). with the Buzzer sounding, the final score, 6-5 gave the sweet, sweet taste of victory, that we will surely have to strive for again. MVP (official) was Adam, However No one could dispute Jo's 2 Goals. Goals - Dave (never) 2 Jo (JoJo) 2 Adam 2 Edited November 30, 2008 by Bowler Quote
