Hit the Bar Vs Parrswood Old Boys
In a game against totally new opposition, Hit the Bar took on The Parrswood Old Boys, who had joined the league since the new year, and had shown promise in their two games by winning them both. They turned up in black and white stripes, and looked like a team that meant business. Hit the Bar were down to a bare five after the late withdrawal of the Chemist, but started the game in fine style, and found themselves 7-0 up in the first half after some very slick passing and shooting, and some decent saves. Half time came about with Hit the Bar leading 8-2, but feeling the effects of playing with only 5. Not only were they obviously tired but, the memory of throwing it away against the team with no name in their last outing, would have been on their minds. However some sterling work saw that, even though the Parrswood Old Boys scored some early goals they were never closer than three goals. Even with the injury stricken Ricky Organ being a virtual passenger for the last two minutes, Hit the bar ran out 13-9 victors.
PLAYER RATINGS
Squirrel – Made a string a vital saves, including a sliding lunge across his goal, when things were getting tight. Managed to make a couple of blunders in keeping with tradition, but a solid display. 9
G Man – Not his most memorable performance, and like most of the team ran out of steam in the second half, but scored some important, if not deflected goals. 9
Ricky Organ – Grabbed a first half hat trick as Hit the Bar ran in to an early lead, suffered as the game went on and was a virtual passenger for the last few minutes, as he tried to loosen up his very tight hamstrings. 9
Nez – Another all round tip top performance, with six goals, numerous lollypops, countless interceptions, and the usual amount of verbals, didn’t stop running, with either his legs or his mouth, and is (yet again) deservedly SURERANDOMALITY STAR MAN. 9
Owen – Despite no goals, an awesome defensive display, with an amazing amount of tackles, and some simple passing. Again felt the pace in the second half, but held on. 9
