In a highly entertaining game at Canberra Secondary School, Team Sunday played a rusty game and left the pitch 7 goals behind their opponents. The team in Yellow was superior in terms of experience and numbers and played 2 different teams in each half.
Though the defeat was heavy, but the hearts of Team Sunday's players were not weighed down. Encouraging was the movement and play of the players, though many were obviously showing signs of depleted form after almost a month of inactivity together.
The game had gone on well, with both teams evenly matched until a mis-kick by Marcus gifted Yellow team a scoring opportunity which they converted with little ease. Then after a lapse down the left flank by TS's defence, the opponent danced his way through before slotting home the second goal.
It was perhaps the third and final goal of the first half that strangled the game beyond the reach of TS. A mistake by the keeper, let the ball slipped through his hands into the net.
3-0 at half time.
The 2nd Half saw TS taking on a whole new line up but matched the opponents grit for grit, bite for bite. The goals that were conceded soon after were undeserving, 4 more were to force their way past the net with Marcus in goal. TS had their share of chances, but missed most notably a couple of chances that went begging.
This game had exposed many flaws of TS's game, and it is most encouraging to hear the determination of the players to want to improve as a team. The lessons of this game may indeed be valuable for future games, and Team Sunday is now just waiting for the unlucky victims to a sleeping monster, once awaken.
Squad:
Aston, Jeff, Mervin, Marcus, Kaye, Raymond, Jack, Boon, Adrian, Lionel, Ryan, Laurence, George, Ben, Jason
Don't worry team, our game is improving, we just need to continue working on it.
