4R 8 Goal Day Out

A Tale of Two Suburbs

As HG Nelson says 'the Dude' AKA Mark Webber has made the number 8 his own and so too around here as this week our 4R team scored eight unanswered goals in their win to follow on from our 3A team's 8 goal haul last week.

Speaking of last week, you can catch last week's news, and especially Jocks match report by clicking here. A delay was required to test some new software, apologies for the hold up.

This week Mark Sayle takes on the literary challenge to put words to a rare defeat, and wake up call for the 2R team. FACT. A tale of two suburbs?

The ladies added a stylish victory to their lengthening success story at the spiritual home of soccer in Lane Cove, the Pottery Green.

Take a quick visit to the KDSA web site where you will see our 4A player Matt R looking very much like he is scoring a goal. Nice one Matty.

A two day weekend is a little hard to take after the last few weeks and as we move into the winter months of the season you may find injuries more common. It is important that you look after yourself and recover well. This week's recovery soup recipe may be just the thing.

If you have any other recovery ideas please let us know.

Recipe : Recovery Soup

Many players like to discuss their post match recovery reigeme including diet and recipes. Normally it's about variety of beer and whether to dunk or soak the chips in the gravy at the Diddy.

Here is an alternative used by some athletes that you may like to try.

Recovery Soup Ingredients:

500g Mince beef (original recipe says 300g but I use more)
One onion (optional) or some onion powder
Garlic clove (optional)
Approx 5 cups powdered beef stock (1 teaspoon per 1 cup of water)
4 cups Wholemeal Spiral (or any other) Pasta
2 X 810g Crushed Tomatoes (Arora brand or something like that)
2 X 750g (approx) kidney beans (or 1 x Kidney beans and 1 x 4 bean mix)
Mixed vegetables (optional) like broccoli, pumpkin, carrots etc.

Need a big stew pot and possibly a medium sized one too… can reduce the quantity in proportion… this amount of ingredients makes about 8 big servings.

Method:

Brown mince, onions and garlic in fry pan (optional = drain afterwards in strainer to get rid of extra fat or pat dry on paper towel)

Put meat, onions, garlic in pots add beef stock and pasta then bring to the boil.

Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans and vegetables and heat through… DONE!.

Serving suggestion: Accompany with a Crown Lager.

Match Summary
Over 35s Division 4A Men

The story of our season again yesterday. We started slowly yesterday, but again dominated for long periods, and created some great opportunities, particularly in the second half, so a 1 – 1 draw was disappointing. It makes it hard when the Ref (form their team – rules a goal and then reverses the decision after complaints from their team.

Goal scorer : Matt M

Today was a day of high quality football.......Was it the tale of two cities (suburbs)?

Was it the old gunslingers meeting head on with the new gunslingers in town!

Was it Gallipoli?

Was it......U decide?

The day started with R-o-h-i-t forgetting his boots and shin pads..alas someone came to his rescue with the Carlsberg (Danish beer) packaging to be used as the shin pads...With the writers half time ban nana being offered for his personal use down the front of his pants...he declined under the premise that he didn?t need it...half his luck im sure most of you will agree.

Matt wham! bam! thank you mam! scores inside first 5 minutes catching the defence napping and the keeper out of position...actually it was a great shot just inside L.H corner shhh don't tell him. 1-0

Matt obviously wasn't listening when Herr General Scotter in his customery, hushed revered tone, was telling us this is a young team. Actually by Pythagorean calculation the answer was not 33 (Monty Python reference) It was actually about an average of 7.77 years per persona non gratis... With these statistics against us there was going to be an unfortunate deflection of el-Presidenta in the goal mouth making the score 1-1.

This quality game continued with the balance in question at half time!

Is this the same game I ask myself...We get 4 yellow cards with the first undeserved going to Hilly due to the enemy kicking the ball directly at his melon. PB talks himself out of getting sent off..as only a lawyers can, well done!

Blake with his speed and talent are taken from the game as quickly as he arrived.

Jock cops one in the mouth for the team and troops in true ozi fashion.

Stewart is trying hard but their getting to him down the wing with Bowdy holding fort with his ever reliable 347 magnum.

Are we flat today or are they that good? Its just passed Anzac day so we must have left something at the bar?

The enemy is camped in our bloody goal mouth with our mighty gunslinger/troops holding on valiantly. Chap's..."Forward into the valley of death' el-Presidenta says as he heads one of the line still 1-1.

Corner after corner we kept them out..Forward Forward.. Have U guys ever tried to punch the ball of Bloody Boris's head I have and and lived.

Whaaaat! No it cant! How can it be? Father of 7 a good children's doctor and our revered good guy DR Fitzgerald/known as el-presidenta has caused an ACCIDENTAL PENALTY (This is of course written with the deepest level of respect as I don't want to play for the over 45's div 3 gulag team just yet).

Keeper goes wrong way as he always does 2-1...Maybe more Mr Bean next time on the line before the penalty is taken... Advice from brains trust to the keeper.

This was a pivotal point where the game and the B-----y referee got away with loading blanks in our guns (so to speak of course chaps).

England 1966 but this time with no video and against us 3-1 was it over the line? U decide.

Our gallant halves/gunslingers/troops are supporting the forwards and we attack attack...How did we not get the ball in?

They make a break with Boris on the left whammo 4-1.

This is the biggest loss I have been a part of with this team in 50 games so lets hold our heads up high premiers/gunslingers/troops.

Forward Forward into the premiership and I look to the return match with OUR very own referee at the OK corale KS.

My apologises in advance for those skirmishes that did not get a mention...no disrespect meant to any fellow team mates as we all had a hard day on the hill.

You can decide what lessons we take from yesterday?
