Just a perfect day for a game of football on this Saturday. 
Sun shining, soft under foot, no wind and a team of boys 
up for a game. 

The game started and the Hoops play was totally awesome. 
They created so many chances in the first half it could have 
been a cricket score but the Meadway goal seemed to be 
having a charmed life and through some dogged 
determination on their defense, some rushed chances 
by our boys and just blind luck all we had to show at 
half-time was a very fine finished goal by Sam G. It was 
great reward after a very good move down the right 
flank and the ball finally fell to Sam who ghosted past 
two defenders before slotting it home. 

At half time the Meadway coach stated to me he was 
so glad his team was still in the game and he couldn't 
believe we hadn't got into double figures.  I could only 
echo that statement. 

The second half began as the first ended and it was all 
Hoops pressure. The boys seemd to click up a gear 
during this game and we looked threatening down 
both flanks and straight up the middle also. It was just 
some finishing practice that may be needed but if chances 
are being created that can only be a good thing.
The Hoops finally earned another goal from the penalty 
spot which Harvie duely dispatched. Finally a third came 
following a bit of a goal mouth melee which Moff never 
gave up on and bundled the ball through the Meadway 
keeper and into the net.

This was just another great all round squad performance. 
It didn't matter what players were on and in which position 
they were in, they are all playing at the top of their game. 
The passing and moving and calling is going great and long 
may it continue through the month of March.

Results dependant, we could be into second place in the 
division with a game against the league leaders approaching 
on Saturday. Bring it on!!! If the boys can bring this same 
attitude for the remaining games, who knows whgat awaits 
the end of season.

Mentions to Alfie, Thomas and Macca in defense were huge. 
Jack dominated midfield and anyone of Harvie, Reece and both 
Sam's could have had more goals today. Keep it going boys, 
it was an awesome performance!!

ps. Shaun, I'm getting that bloopers dvd organised tomorrow!!! ;-))
