Hello all and welcome to your latest stat attack!!
Following a superb social on Saturday where the masses of Croydon were thoroughly entertained by a tear-enducingly beautiful rendition of Enrique Iglasias’ eternal classic “Hero” – a fearsome dozen made the short trip to the ganglands of West Wickham to face Beckenham 2’s.
From the off it seemed that the huge crowd of amassed fans (totaling 2) put us under pressure, and we never really reached our best level. Our passing was off, sometimes the pit was set up on 6m and our shooting wasn’t very good **cough** Who me? **cough**. Unfortunately we succumbed to a 10-8 defeat in what was a game we could have won had certain things gone our way. This includes me not missing from 2m, and Phil not missing a penalty…
Man of the match this week went to Matt “wayward pass” Finch for some top saves that helped keep us in the game. Shout out to Dan who came in a close 2nd, and to Nick for some good steals. Moment of the match went unanimously to Gary “Thunder bolt” Bowen who smashed the ball into the top corner from 7m – an absolute bullet of a shot that even the opposition had to applaud. Unfortunately our “fans” were talking to each other so actually missed the whole thing…
Fluffer this week went to Ed “shit shot” Gamble who managed to miss from 2m – slamming the shot against the cross bar… I’ll see myself out… That being said, I was closely followed by Phil “Cross bar” Richards and Rob “bounce shot” Loveless (only one vote in it boys!!).
Maddy club this week went to myself, Chris “where’s his hand going” Mann and (newly single having introduced Mrs. Popovic to me and Nick) Tadija. Unfortunately Tadija did a runner before we could take a photo of him, so here is the maddy club…
Stats wise, John “Right Hook” Holah has taken a 2 point lead for the Catas, whilst Bedford continues to stay out in front for the top scorer. We still await Tim “ouchy” Young to return to the pool and the less said about PooPants the better.
I’m off to buy a bottle of wine, one glass and a straw… see you later!!
Forza Narwhali!!
