Upstarts 6 - Chameleons 0

A decent result against a lacklustre Chameleons team who were lucky to be 0 - 0 at half time. The final score of 6-0 could have been much more had the Upstarts woken up before the start of the game instead of at half time.

Goals Scorers:
Donald Moniz
Gareth Tavares x 3
Peter Douglas
Phil Trussell

T.W.A.T. awarded to Moniz for the meal he made of his short corner strike.

Next game against the ladies Bermuda Pan Am Cup squad on Friday at 6:30pm.

Upstarts 5 - Polecats 3

A well fought game against a strong opposition. Lucky to have successfully defended the 40 short corners that the Polecats had. Some superb finishing from Ruperelia and Trussell and a rabbit from Douglas that did not hit the back board. Another 2 for Tavares has surely put him at the top of the scorers list.

Goal scorers:
Neil Ruperelia
Peter Douglas
Phil Trussell
Gareth Tavares x 2

T.W.A.T. award presented to Peter Douglas for being the drunkest man on the field. This was a hard fought battle having had half the team at the rugby classic final the night before. What gave Pete the winning edge was the fact that he woke up that morning with a referees kit bag in his kitchen. What he failed to tell the team was that the referee was in the bed....... Nice one Pete.

Special mentions to go to Donny for his baseball save on the line and to Kev for saving countless shots. Well done lads.

T.W.A.T. award goes to Phil Trussell for his superb match winning goal in the dying minutes of the game. We were lucky enough to have the Honorable JP MP PCP ANC DP Jon Brunson hand over the award in a touching 1 hour ceremony that had many of the players and supporters on the verge of tears.
