Dutch Ball Breakers

3, 2, 1, ignition. We came up against Helen's Hell Raisers (or Razers? clarification required!), who were thought to be of the type 'noob'. However when they came on field we saw one of the old refs (a guy that we didn't really like if I can remember) and Heng stated that we were boned. Add to this the recruitment of master curry Gaj to fill in for one of their missing players just had us laughing (to hide the tears no doubt).

After the kickoff it seemed that yes, they were alright, but we were managing to hold them off. Gaj was tightly blocked, and coupled with the fact that he was screwed with shin aches after playing one too many games, he could not get through our D. Simon opened up with a trademark shot which saw us lead. Some miscommunication then saw them equalise, well Heng equalise for them from a very unfortunate deflection. Not sure what happened next but Simon pounded another one in from a masterful cross by Heng, and then Heng too followed up for a goal to put us 3-1 up. Second half Gaj started doing some more shiznit that saw us dumbfounded, we had 3 on him and were confident of the block but he squeezed it through for a goal. One more got through somehow to see the score levelled at 3-3. It was a tough fight but we just could not get one through (their keeper did save quite a few).

Biggest problem once again, a lack of finishing. We had plenty more shots than them. I think the main thing that we're not getting right is shooting under pressure. I for one had some useless shots which skewed to the sides, and some off the bar (it looks good but don't count for shite at the end of the day :P). Simon can really crack 'em off quick smart, without much time to prep. Kind of like Bruce Lee's one inch punch. So I guess something we have to work on is the one inch kick. Less space, less time, power shot. Go work out those quads boys.

Something we've definitely improved on is looking up when in the corner, switching or going back to D as appropriate. We really did find some good holes in their D today. So good'o in that respect. The court coverage still lacking for some, ie. ME. Not running enough to give opportunities. Personally, I could have gone a bit harder and ended up more dead, but was just being a lazy !$#@. Gotta build the endurance somehow...work ain't helping.

See you all next week, 3.20pm to cain Shuuto. I also hear that Dave will be making an appearance =D.

p.s. I've forgotten what grammar is.
