St Wilfred Complex, 1500 Hrs
YSOSRS 3 Etoile 0
(Izwann x2, Santosh)
The plan was for back to back games with the biggie against Team Intense on Saturday and Etoile FC in the cup on Sunday. As fate would have it, our biggie was postponed due to the incessant downpour faced by our tiny island all weekend long. Thank god for the extra hours to sleep in. Yesaah.
Onwards to a Sunday that was also persistently pelted with rain all day long yet it was still very much game on. A squad with a whole host of regulars unavailable as we were playing on our unfamiliar day of the weekend. Booooo.
Anyhow, decked out in blue were the boys of Etoile FC and they were certainly all set and ready to go by 3pm. As for the pinkies, we had latecomers (gaffer included), streaming in hurriedly with socks pulled up on one but not the other side. Story of a lazy team now indeed.
1-0: Plenty of prompting and hustling in the middle of the pitch to no avail. Yet the signs were there for the jokers who continuously knocked on the french team's door. Fortunately, our stylish forward provided us with the impetus to win the game by opening the scoring. Nicking the ball off a slow to react defender, cockroach (I was told never to use it again but who cares.. Heh) man showed some epic shuffles in the box to find space from a tight angle and prod the ball past the stranded keeper. Golaazzzoooo.
HT as the pinkies go in a goal to the goood. Always a dangerous lead though with Etoile FC hodling a 0.5 goal handicap by virtue of their supposed lower divisional status. Aiyo.
2-0: Any nerves were firmly but to bed when Ubai decides to bend-it-like-bai with a stupendous inswinging cross from the left that had goal written all over it. As scripted, Izwann rose high above his marker and in slow motion fashion thumped a header from 6 yards into the back of the net. 55th minute and the pink rangers were producing a decent business like performance.
3-0: Frustrated but not flustered with his few sightings on the opposing goal, our nepalese monster got in on the act as he showcased his new found outside foot shot once again. For those who didnt know, it was similar to the one that hit the bar against Classique in the semis n Law subsequently went on to thump it home. Well this time it found all net and it was even further out from the last one. Oh so brilliant.
So as it is, everyone got themselves a fair share of game time and a nice little afternoon's session of footie. Aside from the missed one on ones and the missing Mikasa ball (FUCK), it was a sweet little day for them Jokers.
Onwards to next Saturday yo!
