Can someone please come and ref our game? Ive reffed a whole bunch this season. This is weak

I'm with JB in the Orwell now, Max are you bringing a bike for James?

Yes i have a bike. Get down here losers

Green 10 - 7 Slayers.

Green dominated most of the first half, 7-1 up at one point, then Slayers started to get back into it, but Green controlled it. Scorers to follow.

I think the scorers are correct, Louis and Ali might have had one different between them.

The beasts started with only 3 and the balls started with only 4. Jukebox Jimmy watching from the side lines, holding the brolly and knocking up jazz fags, with me having to frequently tug him back as his body kept trying make him more involved in the game than was allowed. "Jimmy get off the court."
The Beast were 4 goals up in 5 minutes leading to the only noise coming from them being Louis singing, as Ali tried to restore some order among his two soldiers, he directed them to say "what they were doing". This prompted an outrageous bass solo from the big lefty as he weaved up the port side wing. "Don't sing Louis!!" clear instructions from the captain that this was seriousbizness when louis popped in another goal. He came back to the reset, apologized to his captain about the singing. "it helps me relax" And looked pretty fucking smug it has to be said. The beasts were in control but as the time hit the ten minute mark the doughballs started to creep back, the half ending DB 4 - MB 7

A quick change up, the dissipation of the drizzle and we were back in it, the doughballs looking to exploit the curve that was bending in their favour and keep pushing for an equal share of the antelope. Constant encouragement from Julia for her team kept them in positive spirits and always on the hassle, yet the Beats were organised and calm and interchanging with ease in all areas of the court. Of course Ali was shooting like doherty with so much horse and so little time from every area of the court but with Louis chasing up every rebound their tenacity tended to end in goals and the doughballs were looking stretched. With dt in goal the beasts could do nothing, dave clearing technical balls from the line on half a dozen occasions, but unfortunately the balls weren't going in for matt and julia at the other end and for every attack came an answer, the numbers say it all the doughballs only adding two goals in the second half and the mighty beasts adding 6.

DB 6 - MB 15

It was a real pleasure to ref this one, the game was clean and had pace with the odd bite in it to keep it interesting and only a vocal warning needed occasionally to keep people limbs out of others cockpits. Man of the match was very close. Rick looked very comfortable on the court and his blocking, reading of the game and calm goal keeping were impressive to see in such an old fart. *Being an old fart this is totally acceptable language.
Man of the match was Louis, even if he seemed to have slipped a purple Ohm under his tongue at some point resulting in mild hallucinations where he saw mallets under wheels EVERYWHERE even where their were no wheels. He played great link up with both his team mates and bossed the middle of the court for 60 minutes, intelligent lefty bullshit was a joy to watch. The 3 man bench minor team could be a thing of the future ...

No Vit ? Must have a word with him. What about Alexis Woods? Has he retired?

edit: And thanks for the write up skoota, always good to hear the match reports.

Congrats to Maddie, I think that's your first league goal ??
