3 Beards vs Sparkle Motion, Newington, Thursday 5th Nov.
3 Beards: Bill, Mark and Snoopert.
Sparkle: James, Pip and Wayne.
Game 1
Rupert started off in imperious form this game and Sparkle struggled to contain him. He scored at 1.50', 3.20', 5.20' and 6.40'. Pip managed to get one back for Sparkle at 7.40' but it would be their only goal this fixture. Bill finished the game off at 10 minutes.
Final score: 5 - 1
Game 2
Bill gets a quick goal at 0.12' with a typically strong charge straight at goal. Mark decides to roll out and prove his place on the team, puts goals through at 2.35' and 4.00' and Sparkle don't know what hit them. Rupert chips in for a goal at 4.41' then Mark scores again at 5.10' to finish the game quickly.
Final score: 5 - 0
Game 3
The Beards are on a mission. Rupert nails a cracking shot off the break after 0.04'. Bill gets another after 1.00' and Rupert hits one more at 1.50'. Sparkle puts one through their own goal at 2.45', giving the Beards a helping hand they really don't need. There is much frenzied asking of the time from the Beards as they are hoping to finish the game off quicker than their record of 2.30', but it is not to be. Sparkle manage to hold off for another minute, before succumbing to the inevitable goal by Bill at 4.05'. Impressive work by the Beards.
Final score: 5 - 0
Sorry their wasn't much mention of Sparkle here. Wayne was in goal for most of the games, but couldn't do much against the Beards awesome shooting. I know James had a couple of good shots on target, but obviously nothing went. Pip proved a danger on a number of occasions, but luck wasn't with him tonight. It was a tough fixture for them, and shows how dangerous Beards can be when they are on form.
