    Summary:

    The pitch isn't half as bad as i expected when I left the house. PRoviding conditions dont deteriorate this evening, the pitch will be playable tomorrow, albeit with the aid of a sweeping brush to cear the goalmouth areas. I propose a further pitch inspection at 10:00 local time tomorrow morning.

    Hehehe

    Good luck with this match tomorrow lads and I hope the pitch holds up or you get an astro pitch as replacement if need be. Actually, probably better if it's on Astro as Simon will be slide-tackling for weeks if he gets into the habit :D.

    Hope somebody catches some of Des' moves on video...ya just know he's been bursting to say during one of his team talks 'wingers, I want yous to fly down the wing and nutmeg 3 defenders and then clip in a cross with the back of your heel....actually, just like I do in this video.....' :)

    well this game certainly brought a new meaning to the term "game of 2 halves". the bottom half of the pitch was almost completly waterlogged and was impossible to play on. the other half was perfect and allowed for good ball play. we defended the bad half in the first half and this was our chance to get a good lead up. however, we conceded a goal in the first couple of minutes. we got back into it and levelled, larry from a free kick. from there until half time, we dominated and should have been 3-1 up. they scored on the break just before half time from a defensive lapse. in those conditions, we needed to get the ball away alot faster.

    it was always going to be hard to create chances in the second half with the conditions, they went 3-1 up. we got caught from a long kick out and ball watching. derek got a penalty back for 3-2 with about 15 left and i felt at this stage, we would level it, we missed 2 great chances, 1 a sitter and had 3 or 4 set pieces to knock one in. we went 3 at the back and got caught with about 5 left from a free kick. 4-2. however, they deserved it. they were able to play better in the conditions and the sliding tackles was more of a benifit to them than to us.

    overall, a decent game played in tough conditions.

    That's a pretty fair assessment of the match. If we had take the chance we created in the first half we would have won.
