Aparell Master 14-1 H-ton Hawks

A Hawks team with temporary members suffered a compressive defeat to the hands of Aparell Master.
With only three original members of team H-ton available to play, two replacements had to be drafted in to cover. The combined effects of the new players plus the gulf in footballing ability between the Hawks and Aparell Master proved too much and the Hawks found themselves out of the game from the start.

The two new players, Day and Garrity, did not come with the Hawks ethic - don't forget the club motto "Hawks Fly Together". They played for themselves. Garity played like he was the only member on the team and had the inability to pass. He was interested in the glory of scoring and not the team. The two newest members were also defence shy, so Lawrence and Houghton found themselves playing from the back for the majority of the game. Houghton also might as well have been invisible going forward as the Garity non-passing meant that every run into space was met with nothing.

Silly goals were also given away as the newbies were not playing to the whistle. A penalty from a backpass and a pass of the ball to the opposition standing on the edge of the box, letting them score, after just stopping when an appeal for handball was lodged were among some of the lowlights of this dreadful and unenjoyable game.

The new members were not the sole cause of the defeat. Aparell Master were actually very good with some excellent individual players.

So the next match is against Prov Evo, 7.30pm 15th December on Court 1. Sorry Day and Garrity.... don't call us... we'll call you.
