MATCH REPORT: 4/5

A full turn out with an 8am was something of a surprise. Tim arguing an offside call, not so much.

With gusts hanging every cross and goal kick, for better or for worse, it was the Blues who were playing into the wind who put 3 (or 5, depending on your interpretation of the offside rule) past White goalkeeper Steve. Those controversial offside calls meant for some choppy moments, not helped by the wind and some heavier-than-necessary challenges. If everyone could agree at the start not to get too physical, and not call offsides from more than 40 yards away, we would all get along a lot better.

Not that the camaraderie suffered that much, but calling a jihad or threatening to take your ball and go home over something you might well have been positive about, even without being gifted with the perfect positioning, is a little much. Even the pros are supposed to give advantage to the strikers when it's close. But I digress.

Carlos hit a fine goal for the Blues as they threatened to run away with the whole thing. Rocco "might" (depending on your interpretation of the offside rule) have scored a real peach too, but Scott P in a Blue shirt got his long legs stuck in there and could have had five by himself, but had to settle for two well placed finishes.

Look out for emails regarding any change in kick-off time later this week.

FINAL RESULT: Blues 3 (or as many as 5) Whites 2 (or 3)

MAN-OF-THE-MATCH: Scott P - got the Blue team rolling and scored two definite, no offside goals.
