Hit the Bar Vs Hiti FC
Wednesday 3rd The team turned up amid an air of apprehension as top-of-the-league Hilti FC were the formidable opposition. With a potential pasting on the cards, Hit The Bar brought in yet another free signing, who unusually possessed previous Power League experience. Without the familiar presence of Squirrel in goal, a rotation system was employed by the outfield players. The game got underway superbly for Hit The Bar - going 2-0 up in 1 minute, with neither Ricky Organ (in goal) or Dancing (still warming-up) touching the ball. An inspired first half performance was somewhat marred right at the end when stand-in keeper, Ricky Organ, changed his mind at the last minute about where he was going to roll the ball, resulting in a looping, girly-effort straight to the opposition's striker, with a goal resulting. The second half was also a tightly fought affair with Hilti slowly gaining the upper-hand thanks to mistakes by Hit the Bar, a slightly harsh penalty decision and general fatigue. The dying moments saw a deflected goal handing Hilti FC a perhaps undeserved, 9-8 win. No fannying around in the player ratings this week, despite a good performance, this reviewer decided a healthy dose of bluntness was needed to spur the players on
Nez - full of ideas, running and some goals early on, but when the tide turned in the second half, started moaning like a cheap whore. 3 goals were just enough to earn SURERANDOMALITY STARMAN - 7
G-Man - an average performance but failed to live up to self-appointed Star Man rating of previous week - 6
Ricky Organ - good work in goal ruined by A-class blunder, got knackered on the pitch as usual - 6
The Chemist - started well on the pitch but faded, started well in goal but then forgot to stay within the boundaries of the penalty area - 6
Wazza Boy - thunderous dipping goal was the highlight, shame about the other wasted chances - 7
Dancing - lost out on 50-50s due to having the body strength of Bambi, threw himself about in goal with mixed results - 6
