HEY!, you can contribute, write up a game report and send it to your manager!
Welcome to Match Reports 2010
I
heard a comment how Match Reports bear so little
resemblance to the actual games they are not worth reading... methinks
someone just didn't see their name enough! ~ Either way, I am pleading
for contributions from anyone...we'll paste anything
without editing...anyone who suffers through one of our games can be a
flashscribe; maybe we could ask the WAGs who show up to do something,
or worse still the Opponents (more than one has offered!)- so please, get involved, show your club mates what you think! Thanks - Terry | |

| Sept 1st - The Flash v TBD FC had disaster written all over it when despite starting 15 mins late only 7 guys in red had showed...predictably things went bad from early on, Mike D had donned the gk gloves, and while he's a good shot stopper and still a good athlete, positioning wasn't his strong point (sorry Mike) and its 5-0 at the half ~ with the team bolstered with one of their subs joining us and putting on the gloves for the 2nd half, and with a late arrival or two we matched up with 11 bodies although Quested & Spermie really looked their age at times on this nite...new player Matt Mottice teamed up front with Joe Fullen and Flash looked like getting back in the game, but lackluster shots and the usual high or wide stuff was the order of the day, it was a credible 2nd half effort but we only notched two, both well worked plays where several first time or quick passes sliced open the defense and clinical finishing restored a little decency...but ends 6-2 for a thoroughly annoying loss.... I guess 21 names on the roster just isn't enough to ensure 11 make it out each week!
Flash II had a great party after the game, Bucket was in full catering party mood with home grown goodies, coolers of beer from several guys and Buckethead's fresh bloody mary's... I've no idea what happened in their game!!
Aug25th - Flash II played Janis - Stick reports "The Flash sent out a few subs this week but Mike Drummond ended up playing for someone else! Jeff Smith showed and helped
out in D. Mark Barrett scored for in less than a minute in! Dragon scored
next, then they got one. Dragon should have gotten a head ball score but one
of their guys two handed it out of the box. Only gave him a yellow but
Bucket put in the penalty shot. They scored once more but we held on
for the win."
Aug 18th - The Flash seemed to have half their squad at The Crew game on this Wednesday nite but managed to find enough players and hold on for a win 2-1 win v Super team
Aug 11th >This week Flash II had a bye, saving them the ignominy of repeating recent poor results...but then again, you never know what type of Flash team will show up on any given night.....and true to that The Flash reversed their form of late with a decent showing (4 or 5 subs at times) including Ruben guesting in goal, Souch on a rare mid week appearance, and strait out of retirement, Mario Cautela. 2nd division football is a good step down from the A division but both squads looked well balanced, skilled, if perhaps a little long in the tooth...The F. opened with Andy Holtom playing the center of a 4-3-3 formation, a rash looking format given that Gigondas had handily knocked over Flash II last week, and even though we never really established good control in the middle throughout the entire game it was a decent performance from lads who rotated through the middle including Romeo, Jimmy, Holtom and Joe Fullen - Joe was really on fire this nite, he should have had a hat-trick in the 2nd half alone, but it was his first half performance that inspired the rest of the lads to step up their game....whether starting plays from the middle, getting wide and making great crosses, or his short game with Mark (the Scot) Barrett that created our best chances, it looked like Joe had drunk some magic juice, he was everywhere...and fast.... it was still 0-0 at the half but with the turnaround putting the wind at our back and running downhill you always felt the tide would turn...5 mins in Mark connected with about his 15th chance and this one hitter from just inside the far side of the 18 yard box zipped past their keeper before he knew what was coming....The Flash had the bit between their teeth, put on a great display of passing, moving the ball from one side of the park and back again without trying to force the play, chances were coming after solid build up work and eventually Joe gets free and bangs home a much deserved goal....so just when you're thinking this one is wrapped up, I guess the players thought the same as a good 20 minutes of dross football followed, then, while Gigondas squandered the few chances they made, you always felt our lads might get caught with their pants down by the speedy Mike Kimble...but for the last 10 mins the red boys got it together again, the triumvirate of Souch, Mark and Joe supported by a midfield that now supported the offense was peppering their defense and The Flash get their first point this fall ...who's coming next week?
Aug 3rd - NEW SEASON Fall 2010 - Flash II v Gigondas and The Flash v Janis
What is there to say? ~ we scored nowt, cant win nowt like that! ~ there are only three Divisions this session, both of our teams are in what is streamed as their 2nd Division ~ and we are both at the bottom of the league after one game!! - Next week The Flash take on Gigondas while Flash II have a bye

| Aug 29 - FlashClash again! ~ Flash
had a full compliment of players this week while FU looked a little thin
early on and didn't look any better when Quested showed up for his
first outing since early June. FU got an early PK and backed it up with
another shortly after, but Flash showed plenty of hustle and were
rewarded when Bucket made a nice finish on a breakaway slipping it under
Ruben and kept up a ton of pressure through the middle and then notched
another. Truth be told Flash were dominating up the middle, catching FU
napping at the back with regularity and but for several superb stops
from Ruben should have been up by three of four.... but the usual,
cruel, twist of fate ensued and FU got a break and it went into half
time with FU up 3-2
Flash had made the best moves, put lots of pressure on the ball and FU
despite the lead needed to do something. Andy Holtom made the point it
was the mid-fields responsibility, but with the 2/2/2 format getting
outnumbered was going to keep happening so Quested changed it up to
3/2/1. This didn't stop the Flash pressure but now FU had three and four
guys behind the ball and while Ruben still had to perform a few more
heroics the tide was starting to turn. FU scored again, Jimmy had a
midfield smack that found the net, and while Flash were making a game of
it, and even knocked Ruben out with a sore hand, FU managed to hold off
the worst and finished strong enough to secure the win in this
FlashClash. The best part of the morning was in the parking lot after,
Bucket has about 20lbs of pulled pork, cold beer, salsa & chips,
popcorn and Bloody Mary's courtesy of an under attended wake...THANKS
MATE!
Aug 15 - FUFC won 5-4, Matt reports -> " We and had
no business winning against Rowdies. We were down 3 or 4 nothing pretty quick,
when Diego took over at the back and started running a tight line. Jalal and the
boys were offsides 15-20 times and we slowly came back. Troy knocked in the first
from a Rueben goal kick. Jim G smashed one home and then I knocked one in off
Jalal's shoulder . Andy Holtom had the last two!" - Hey not bad guys!
Playing
Rueben, Ed G, Andy, Troy, BBarr, Matt, Roberto and Diego. Diego
was man of the match
Aug 1st - Flash II had a boat load of bodies and handily won their game v United
FUFC took on Grey Wolves and despite an early lead and dominating play conspired to be 3-2 down at the half after hitting the woodwork at least 6 times....then not to be confused with a team who could really play then hit the woodwork a few more times, received the hand ball penalty we'd paid the ref for (ask the other team...) but after Bill had dispatched it, off the woodwork of course, FU then found a few more goals, Diego played conveniently on-side for the go-ahead goal and Souch finally finding the inside of the nett, after which Wolves ran out of gas and FU mopped up after a less then impressive performance...must have been the heat.
Next week:
FUFC v United 9:30am
Flash II 8am
back - July 18 saw FUFC manage to stay ahead of Gigondas, despite Jimmy giving up 6 goals (a keeper should have got most of them) FU knocked in 8 thanks in part to Bill's finishing, Matt's tireless running, Diego's multiple attempts to flick it over the bar, Jalal with a couple on target and Drago, Eddy, Spermie, BBarr and must have been another body somewhere generally doi9ng enough to keep it away from the opposition.
Flash had the late game and benefited from a decent head count at kick-off, had Carlos helping in goal this week and managed a 3-2 win over....///
A FlashClash June 13 saw both teams with 2 or 3 subs thanks to a few hangover bodies from the earlier match, FU picked up the Muslim dude with the big beard and Chuck Strickler, Flash had a full compliment with Drew in goal. Marcus wore the FU GK shirt and was having a good game till a clash with Bucket left him hobbling with an obvious hamstring problem, but it didn't convince him to quit till a goal mouth scramble on the strike of half time saw the ball barely trickle away from a hilariously limping Bachmann to tie it up, FU benefiting from a Holtom goal early when Flash gifted the ball away outside their box. The 2nd half saw Flash pick up the pace but FU scored first and sort of sat around out there not really pushing the pace, everyone looked knackered, but that's easy to say from the sidelines, and a few decent flourishes kept the interest up, with about 15 mins left Flash worked the ball into the box, a neat bit of play from Troy then pushed to the middle where Bucket slammed home a 20 yarder had it all tied up....then just a few mins later Joe Bonvillion had a ball smacked into his arm while standing in the box, unfortunate but an obvious penalty although it took one ref with balls to make the call, and Tom textbooks the ball home and FU win this one.
