London League VI Fixture Chat

Sorry Phil, final score was 19-11.

Quick write up, stats below.

The first chucker started with Westway looking like a team who've been playing together for years (how long has it been?), with some brilliant passing and moving and a very good rotation of goalkeeper. Rubik's looked individually better, but weren't linking up as well and with individual players getting caught out because they expected their team mates to do other things. There were also a lot of pretty stunning shots from both sides, bouncing off wheels or cones. But at the half way point of the first chucker, it was 4-1 to westway. There wasn't really a noticeable change in either teams play, except for maybe Dave placing his shots a bit more accurately (scoring 4 in a row), after the last goal in the last two minutes from Victor the first chucker ended 5-5.

The first half of the second chucker started in a similar fashion with westway's team game keeping the skills of rubiks in check, after about 7 minutes of trading goals it was 8 all. It was after this that Rubiks started to take hold of the game with 6 unanswered goals from all players, ending the 2nd chucker 14-8.

The last chucker started pretty slowly, with both teams scoring a goal each in the first couple of minutes, and then a couple more from Rubiks in the first half, but the most notable event was Victor charging back to catch Dave and loosing control of his own bike, going flying and landing in a heap. I may have been a bit harsh not blowing the whistle, but westway did have an opportunity to call time out but due to lack of experience or lack of communication they cleared it, finally resulting in DT scoring. I'd actually only gone down to Ref as I said I would before and i remembered what it was like playing without a ref. So I was pretty surprised to be asked to sub, but Victor was addement that he couldn't play on and was saying the options were to forfeit or for me to play. so I got ready. I can't really comment on the rest of the chucker.

Man of the match was me. :-)
