Last minute pony report..
Not since JFK rallied the American spirit to beat the evil empire into space. Not since Brad Pitt rallied his forces with "immortality. Take it, it's yours!" Not since, oh, f*ck it: inspirational rev up from Tangi mid week, heavy dose of luck when down 0-1 yours truly conceded a pen and Thommo blazed wide, but season best from Rauru up front and a marauding Gus saw us deserved if a touch fortunate 3-1 winners.
Highlights: Graham's 35 yard rocket just missing, and clearing showing that the three foul throws, two shanked passes and one leaping-leprechaun nothing but air header were simply aberrations. Jason leaping ahead of Lloydo and onto the scoring sheet, then Lloyd catching up. Another superb reflex save from DC. Aarons composed rampage up the right to set up the clincher. Great defensive marshaling from Tangi.
Lucky charms: Harriet and Ben Brooks on the sideline. A little less easy on the eye than Marist Inter's WAGs the week before though... God knows how the sideline fauna at Wainui will look..
PS. I spotted Thommo in our building midweek, and caught his eye with a wee nod and grin. He shifted a little and looked away. Ask Baggio. A missed pen can ruin a man. Told the lads. Nick asked if he was a pen pusher? Paddy said avoid him on the stairs in case he falls over.
