15th September 2007 - Round 22: Scotch vs Immanuel

A1: Scotch 0 - 1 Immanuel B1: Scotch 3 - 3 Immanuel It was a bit of a dissapointing day result wise for us today for different reasons for both teams. The B's somehow managed to squander a 3-0 lead from the 1st half to end up drawing, and the A's again managed to totally dominate a game but be unable to find the back of the net with a heap of golden chances going begging once again. Chin up though! :o) The B's opened with a blaze of glory and were 3-0 up within the 1st 30 minutes, following two great thunderbolt strikes from Matty Lynagh, and a 30 yard stunner from Frenchie Fabs. Unfortunately we lost our way a little in the 2nd half, and following a penalty and two lucky goals it was all square. Boys a massive thankyou to you all for the efforts this year though!! It didn't help only oranising the team a week before the start of the season and only half the team having played outdoor football before, and we have been under the pump all year against better teams and you have improved weekly without doubt and can be very proud of what you have achieved team wise and for the spirit that has remained throughout the team for the entire year. I hadn't experienced anything like that before. With a good preseason under our belt and a few extra players next year will be considerably more successful result wise. Well done and thankyou! Thanks also to all of the A's boys, with such an unsure line-up for most of the season and weekly changes plus people playing with injury, thankyou for the effort you have put in the the spirit that has been among us for the year. Lets be honest, we didin't do the best but it was a bloody fun year!! Apart from our 1st five games (1 draw, 4 losses = 1 point!!) we did do very well and climbed our way up the table week by week from the bottom and should be proud. Today was a little dissapointing dominating and having possession like we did but again lacking that final touch into goal, which to be honest we should have been able to do with the amount of chances we had!! :o) Immanuel though are great fighters and have great spirit and their season of improvement probably deserved them a win also so well done to them. It was a physically tough match played in fair spirits (mostly!) and was a good season finiser, apart from the fact we lost! :o) Thankyou to the Immanuel boys for their hospitality after the game with BBQ and drinks, it was very appreciated! Thankyou for the year fellas..... much more to offer next year with more sponsorship, more school support, better club structure, a very decent pre-season and a few new talented faces, so I hope all of you are out there for 2008!!!!
