Once again we had a good turn out, sixteen including Jaqui, and Danny in goals.As we had seven on each bench , we played four aside which allowed the game to be played at a faster pace, and let everyone show off their hockey skills.”!
This report might be less accurate than the others I have fingered over the years, because of all my coughing and spluttering, I struggled to fully concentrate on the game. Know doubt the usual one or two will let me know, their goal or assist was not mentioned. I am well aware this report might not be a good as the guy who did it for years.You know who I mean. Some call him the Fenwick Flyer, Some have been nicer, calling him the wee baaaa, then I heard someone call him the Hobbit..Just having ago because he had a good game on Sunday. Well played Albert.
Well done to S Mehigan who gets better as the weeks go on.
The first few minutes of the game were quite even, with both teams having shots on the goals.Then I think it was Cally who opened the scoring with a shot past Jaqui into the net. It was not long before Hot Dog and C Stewart scored for the whites.Before half time R for the whites and P McBride for the colours were back on the score sheet to bring both teams even at half time.
The second half was pretty much the same as the first. Albert was clocked trying to stick Cally. Then P Davidson trying to entice Albert into a square go for taking the puck from him and setting his team up to score.J Wylie was still showing of his moves. The ones where you try to skate past him, and you are stuck on the boards. Hot Dog helped keep the whites even with the colours until fifteen minutes before the end when he had to leave to restore his energy for a game he was playing in Edinburgh.
It was at that time I received a pass from Cally, skated into the whites zone, and passed to P Davidson who scored. After a cracking game, and good banter on and of the ice. The colours beat the whites 7 – 3
With 16 = £ 160 – ice at £ 120, = £ 40
It was good to see Andrew Jarvie taking time to come along for a game. All the way from Wales. Andrew, once again offered to volunteer his services as referee for our charity game. If anyone knows someone who would like to help him let me know A,S,A,P. There will probably be a change to the face off time.
We are thinking 4pm, because the next day is a school day. I will confirm this next week
I am in the process of making up teams for this. If you can not manage. Could you let me know.
See you Sunday, Davie.
Charity Game 30/08/15 for Sick Children. Face off 7pm. Let’s have names ASAP so teams can be fixed, sorry meant picked.
Sunday 22nd June game report.
We had a good turnout of fourteen plus two keepers for this weeks fun / serious knockabout. With Dave being away on his jaunt to Nottingham, I was charged with collecting the dosh and picking the teams as there was no sign of Pat. I asked Mr Tyson if he would like to do the honours of picking the teams but he declined. I now know why. I thought the teams were evenly matched, that was until Cally turned up. Now as I am the the slowest and the least agile I thought it only right and fair that he should be in my team. So young Ryan was duly despatched to the opposition.
The game got under way and for the first ten minutes it was an evenly matched game, in fact I’m sure Hotdog got the first goal for the Blacks. Then young Danny boy scored for the Whites and just after that yours truly got on the score sheet after a nice blue line pass from Mr J.Wylie [Electrical Contractors. All work undertaken with large discounts for fellow players ] Then I’m afraid Danny, James and Cally went on a bit of a goal spree. There were murmurs from the opposition that I was emulating Mr McAlpine and accused of team fixing. Of course I denied this. Our bench thought I had done a wonderful job in picking the teams, so to placate the opposition at half time we offered them Cally. They must have known that with accepting him in their team we could accuse them of the same dirty tricks, so they settled for James and gave us back young Ryan. Once we got under way again it must be noted that James scored three and young Ryan scored three so that cancelled the change out. Must say that the Blacks did have a better second half and Hotdog turned on the turbo charger and pulled a few goals back. Even the grumpy old cop said he managed to get one on the score sheet, although he didn’t produce any witness’s or evidence to corroborate his statement.
In between the pipes we had the experienced R. M. and Mr Bennet making his first or was it his second debut in goal for us. Both keepers had some spectacular saves and no broken neck guards or bones this week.
As usual after the game there was the usual slagging going on in the dressing room. I was even threatened with arrest for the most minor infringement of the Law, by you know who. Danny I thought your dad was a nice man. If I get nicked I’ll just get Joe the Barrista to defend me for a small fee. See what you missed Davie. The whites just edged it!
