Match Report - 31 Oct 2009, Aldershot and Farnham Hockey Club Mens 3 beat Trojans 4
Keyyyyyrist - A One nil win. Havent seen one of those for the 3rd team for a very long time !!!!! In truth, the game could have been different and but for some fine goal keeping from Circus and a fantastic stop on the line from Scotty when a Trojan strike from a PenConr had beaten the AF keeper. Lovey also produced what we all thought was a great stop but he since admitted to having his eyes shut and the ball just happened to his stick. This explanation did answer the few quetstion raised that perhaps Lovey was fianlly developing skill. No he isnt.
So, Trojans perhaps could have had 2 on another day but oh well. AF3 on the other hand could have had 10. Lots of pencrnrs but nothing happening. The strike was going off but the oppo keeper kept getting a foot to the ball but no-one was following up for the rebound. Plenty of chances were also being created from open play but the chances were falling to the wrong players - ie - the AF3 midfield, who despite much bluster and bravado before games and in training about what great finishers and scorers they are, the truth is really that they could not hit a cows backside with a fly swatter. Tubs had one more chance to inc the lead but failed to convert as the keeper smothered the shot quickly. Angry also had quite a few chances but strangely failed to convert any of them this time. Finally, the matches head shaking moment was provided by Pete McGoose. Set up perfectly he had the ball centre of the Trojan circle but being a true AF3 midfielder at heart, he decided to not shoot but to trun round and try to beat 3 more Trojan defenders. It was pointed out, in a fairly vocal manner, by his erstwhile colleague upfront, that perhaps next time he is in that position, then could he kindly perhaps find the time to "just ** hit it next time" as that is the general idea. (banana moment). Thanks to Jerv for umpiring.

Dodgy knee kept him out of the side for half the game, but came on when he needed to do and made sure AF3 did the job

Rozzer patrolled his beat well and didnt let any perps get away with any swag.

Angry did as Angry does. Always able to see the reverse stick strike to the near post when noone else can see it.

Tesco getting there in the 3's> Looked more confident

Still the sweaty Messiah in the AF3 midfield. Pls ask him about his attempted drag flick at training. And he still wonders why hes banned from shooting int he oppo circle !!

Banana. Goose started upfront with Tubs and proved he isnt a natural forward> Was moved out to Right half to give the aging Angry a break upfront and his crossing bought back memories .. bad ones,.. of a certain P Mcdonald of old. hahaha

Lovey showed both sides of his game> Proved what a destructive manmarker he and also proved to us all how stupid you can look when trying to hit a bill and then missing.

Robocop charged his knees and set about the oppo midfield. Also proved that most midfielders are actually only failed fowards, with a sublime show of passing but a shyte show of how to score !!

MOM. Rolled back the years, rolled his pants under his belly, tightened the corset and emerged for his first match this season. Blowing out of his harris but a great stop on the line saved the day.

Ambled around, shouted out people, generally a pain in the backside but scored> quick spin on the defender left the aged striker one on one with the keeper. Remembered advice at start of game and flicked it past keeper. Looked stupid when practically fell on Pete Mc Goose ball from the right that was missed by Angry when it seemed easier to score. Angry said sorry for dropping his stick at the pivotal moment,
