Match Report 12 February 2009

Eight hardy individuals took on not just the opposition tonight, not just the Siberian weather tonight, but themselves as their minds dominated their bodies and pushed them to new levels of fitness, energy and stamina.

It was frightening to behold the determination being displayed in this 4 v 4 contest.

Newcomer Daniel was an inspiration with his energy and effort, Luke once more was electric in both boxes, scoring with ease and saving with dexterity, Roy made piercing passes, effective runs down the line and in to space and good positional cover when the opposition countered, but it was to no avail as they together with Danny went down 12-10.

The other team were just too much. Martin passed the ball with pinpoint accuracy and consistently broke down the other side's attacks, David made quality balls, tackled like a trooper and demonstrated his increased confidence with a couple of silky smoooth dribbles reminiscent of Ryan Gibbs, Tim played to his usual high standards: making runs, dribbling past players, linking with his teammates with sharp one-twos as well as covering when faced with a counter; but man of the match goes to Yussuf, who was all over the park, moving the ball this way and that, losing his markers, scoring goals and setting them up. It was like Michael Carrick crossed with Eric Cantona.

Another great game!
