After a
bottom of the table clash Lane Cove West found themselves.... Well still bottom
of the table...
The subdued
first half was cruising along with no team in real ascendency,
until the mood of the game changed around the 35 minute mark. After a great
tackle Nigel got more fired up than Krakatoa on a bad
day. The little Greenwich striker took a dive in t he box like Greg Luganis form a 10m platform with Nigel clearly getting the
ball.... After a few "quiet" words with the striker Nigel had the
child reigns placed back on and was dragged kicking and screaming away from the
scene of the alleged crime. With
The referee
agreeing with Nigel and Graham that the Greenwich Striker was a "diving
puff" a throw-in was dully awarded
Less than a
minute later
After a
grilling at half time normally reserved only for burgers at hungry Jacks, Lane
Cove West came out with a renewed spirit and after a few close calls they
finally got back into the match. With another Mazy run Peter weaved his away
around the Greenw ich
players before dispatching the ball past the keeper into the net and the game
was tied 1-1, with Lane Cove West well and truly on top.
But less
than 60 seconds after the restart Lane Cove West were 2-1 down.... From a
freak/great/lucky goal the decision is yours.... after kicking off the short
fat Greenwich midfielder stumbled around in the center of the park before
hitting a 35 Yard str ike
over the head of the keeper who was only 6 yards off his line and into the roof
of the net...
Lane Cove
pushed on looking for another equalizer but after that sucker punch it never
quite looked like it would come.....
