Wednesday night saw the last of our regular season games for the summer outdoor season. After the complete collapse in form that saw us finish seventh of eight in the Spring season, after a run of six defeats on the bounce culminating in Sunday afternoon practices* how would we do in the summer season? Answer, a lot lot better, as shown in the league table on the right.
This time, we were able to score a lot more goals than in the Spring, despite losing two or three players to fairly long term injuries. It also helped that we could keep our female contingent numerous, such that they didn't have to play whole games, with the exception of the nutty 6-5 win against KAM United where we played the whole game a player short. I kept the ridiculous goals against to a minimum (the first one against on Wednesday night a case in point. Dear oh dear), and achieved my aim of a goals per game against of less than two. Playoffs for the chance to have our photo taken with a plastic knock-off of the World Cup begin next week. No expense spared, that really would be the reward for twelve weeks battling the sun, high winds and ever shortening daylight.
*practice is really a euphemism for having four or five footballs shot at me very hard for two hours on a rock hard school playing field. It hurts
