Another footballing exhibition took place at Blackman Oval on Saturday. A hard close fought battle ensued between two teams intent on promotion this year in front of a vocal but well behaved LCW support confronted by a visiting mob from Lindfield playing on the neighbouring pitch complete with club song, synchronised pogoing and colour co-ordinated kit bags.  We numbered 15 for this game (including Nigel who trebled as sausage maestro, all age manager and sub). Whilst pushing hard to get on the score sheet at the risk of getting caught on the break, it is a credit to our players and supporters that we maintained our discipline. Our attacks proved difficult to maintain at times against a team that mixed long ball tactics, midfield running and long range shooting. LCW endured extended periods on the back foot in the last quarter, frustrating our guys up front who lacked support going forward. Combined pressure resulted in two own goals and a 0-2 result. A fair reflection on the numerous interceptions and tackles made by our defence throughout the game. A good natured game, well refereed by the man in black, culminating in lewd games with Nigel's sausages and onions in front of the female contingent, a beer, fag for some, a final demonstration of the kit bags  club song and a resolve to score more goals next time round.

 

Would happily play this lot again.
