RWO Bigfooty Match - MARCH 2003
These match reports are always hard to start. It is especially hard when you were a participant in the match. If the others that played can add to this (or do their own summary), it would be much appreciated. (Or those that were spectators).
From a personal point of view, it was great to be able to put faces to names. I also do not generally meet many people who share my passion for footy in NSW so the experience was fantastic, and I hope to see all of you again in the near future.
The general standard of play wasn't too bad, especially as many had never played the game before, or had not played any sort of competitive match in some time.
When I first arrived I saw a heap of people kicking footys. I assumed they were RWO people as they were either wearing a RED or a WHITE shirt as I requested. This I assure you, makes this sort of thing much easier to identify!
We didn't get the numbers we had hoped for, but we still ended up with a match. Prior to that we basically just had shots at goal.
Most seemed to be kicking well enough. Diego seemed to be confident in front of goal, Mike_B had a nice kicking style, and even I was kicking reasonably well.
The decision was then made to make 2 sides. They were not to be the sides as previously discussed as many could not come, and others just did not show.
Peter volunteered to umpire the match for us, and I am very greatful for that, so thanks Peter!
I ended up on Captain Courageous Diegos team, only to be shafted after kicking 2 goals 5 minutes into the game. ;)
2 Irish blokes decided to join us which helped with our numbers.
Both teams played quite well. The players that stood out for me were:
Diego, The Doctor (Bigfooty), Snajik
All in all it was quite a good match, everyone did very well.
We have to do it again some time :)
BTW, my 2ND team lost by 4 goals (which was about the margin when I was swapped).
SO I call for a DRAW :D
And last but not least ....
TheMase for the Swans Rookie List :D (I wish :( )
