Polecats 1 Upstarts 0
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda…. it was not to be our day again unfortunately
We scrambled to pull together a squad – looked very dicey until late Thursday, early match day (thanks to Adrian for drumming up everyone) – as we again had some key players out or off-island for the clash.
We didn’t do particularly badly however. Polecat’s one score was very opportunistic and in fact was the result of a failed short corner attempt for ourselves at the other end of the pitch! They also did manage to crash a short off a post and forced Kevin into a great save from Nigel when clean through, the save deflecting off Kevin’s pads and careening off the crossbar to safety. Other than that though there was not much excitement defensively. Our attack was somewhat muted, Donny seemed content to consistently smash the ball too often a foot further than Al could reach and our searching heroics were brought down by errant suspect tackles by the Police defense and direct shots that missed their target, sometimes agonisingly so.
All in all a hard loss but happy again to report that we kept battling to the very end, a trait that will pay dividends eventually when things start falling into place.
