Football is a game of two halves.  So it proved again as the Nanna’s took on Hampton St at Wesley College.

Determined in the tackle and playing on the counter attack Nanna’s pinched an early goal.  Tenacious Tao was all over the pitch interupting Hampton’s play.   The ever dependable Jim was a rock at the back, and Takeshi ‘The Cat’ Kondo wasn’t letting anything past him.  With the opposition frustrated, the Nanna’s hit a purple patch.  Twat!  Eat that goal! Liquid football! The Nanna’s were 5-0 up.

At half time Deadshot Dan suggested that given Nana’s propensity for conceding, keeping a clean sheet should be the aim for the remainder of the game.  Although greeted with unanimous accord it was only minutes into the second half when an already tiring backline conceded.  With youth and substitutes on their side Hampton had brought the score back to 5-4 as the game moved into the closing stages.  The ‘Cat’ Kondo preventing a complete capitulation with some excellent saves.

A breakway goal thanks to a neat finish from Tao, and another netbuster from Deadshot Dan, rounding off hat-tricks for each and the hopes of Hampton were vanquished.
