D’OH! 3 Raumplan 1
It’s hard to believe that less than two weeks ago we played in sweltering conditions at 8pm in our latest indoor encounter, when nowadays it is not unusual to have the heating on. Such is life in Melbourne. We won though – despite the conditions – and perhaps having a sub really helped us as the breaks were certainly appreciated. It took a long time for the deadlock to be broken, with both keepers doing their bit to keep the scoreboard from ticking over. In the end Sadds sent the skipper in on goal and a touch took the ball into the far side of the net. At half time it had been the only score. In the second half we continued to pressurise and the skipper had a speculative shot at the time when Sadds was running across goal with a defender. In the confusion, the otherwise innocuous shot found its way past the keeper and we were two up.
Euge was finally beaten shortly after, but the last word went to Kev. He collected the ball in the D, made an expert turn and hooked it in with his left foot for a smartly taken goal. It had been hot work but satisfying.
This week’s game is at 8pm and we are back in the pits. No prospect of a heatwave though so more comfortable conditions for the lads. With Trev still away and Kev recovering from his Run for the Kids we will need to be on good form to win against Columbia FC, whoever they are.
