I should have taken notes….

What started out as a cocky stroll into Tao and Tom’s old school became a farce of epic proportions. Although they beat us last week, for some silly reason we THOUGHT we were several leagues ahead of them….IN THE PAST PERHAPS LADIES!!!

We started with a master play by the coach as he subbed on Tao and within ten seconds of the sub he scored. This is why Thomas earned his mom vote! We were strutting, thinking. by how far??? Then disaster struck, from a corner they took, Jim was caught out looking at their defenders slim hips and hence popped a load(ed ball into the net) (ouch!)

They scored another one before half time and one of their Annual warriors started to go in a bit hard. This caused the usually extremely zen goalie to get ANGRY. I believe there was a hand to the face…. he deserved it.

The second half started with handshakes and love, but not the way we planned it. They got another one and it seemed as though, the unbeliveable was about to happen. Goalie goal time. From a throw (with lots of side spin on it) game a glimmer. Then Jim slammed home a beast from the middle court region. 3 all now.
Goalie then put in a Beckham like cross from the  back side line and Dan  Le Coq headed in his first  ever goal – BROWN PROUD BUT DISALLOWED!!!  Can we check to seee if Pete  Circuit  had his unborn at this moment in time.
PENALTIES……5 each (in a row)

Nanna keeper saved all but one goal….some of these are available captured on film and a limited run will be signed….

Two Nanna warriors stepped up and slotted home the defining  moments that we presumed would eventuate, too bad it nearly didn’t.

The nannas will have to do a little soul searching this week to be able to face the other finalists, but I believe any team that has as much respect as the nannas is a sure thing.

The night was rather hazy post match…..Something about dancing like sweaty confetti and hanging out around the KUM DEN….posing for our front cover shots and …who knows…..
