Game week 1

Arrgh, an annoying one huh Stallions - 2-0 up at halftime whopping it up, but then ... no match report (can you be bothered doing them Corey? Anyone else?), but not a bad start, made some good chances, and it was great to be out there running around in green & gold again (and extra good to have Nick there running wild).

Nice to have a beer after the game, but we got to start with the awards etc. Hows about this - people should nominate Stallion/pony moments and we can vote on them, and I say we let the ringins Ben B & Gus decide on MVP points (email them to me).

For me:
Stallion - Nick - the returning Stallion
Pony - Panda - a hell of a game, but that open goal was terrible (not that one, the earlier one) ...
Pony - Paddy - our first kickoff of the season calling for the Stallions move.
Pony - Paul - forgetting the headband & pony on his return to the team - disrespect.

Anyone else got anything?

Lots of draws in the grade - Raiders got hammered, looks like Lower Hutt are shaping up as contenders. Results here

Div 7 Yellow Fever forum up and running if anyone wants to contribute. Interesting to hear that the Uni 4th team has a few disgruntled ex-elite players.

Update - here's the Elite match report - and once again, its full of crap: 'As the game kicked off we were all over them like a fat kid on a cupcake', 'This led to the Stallions grabbing two very cheap goals' - No wonder Corey hates them, and their players left ...

Classic game of two halves...

We should've put 4 or 5 past them, but we always seem to switch off at halftime.

Not sure what happened for their first goal but it was a 4 on 2 to us..

I put my hand up for the second goal, misjudged the bounce which led to the break away.

Plenty of promising signs though boys...
