M Pumas v Lavant 1

A relatively young Pumas team (Sammy being the exception) suffer their first defeat of the season. With players & Umpires at a premium this weekend we had 2 players doubling up from the 3rds (Thanks DJ & Adam R)
Despite playing nice patterns we lacked sharpness that our possession craved & we were unable to carve out any clear chances due to miss-control before we got into the D whereas a more ruthless Lavant team gradually established a 3 – 0 lead by playing on the break by half time.
The Pumas started the second half strongly, with Pete W rounding off a well worked move to bring the score to 3 – 1. Sensing a way back into the game the Pumas pressed hard but suffered a set back when a huge slice of luck gifted Lavant a fourth goal when Andy A playing in goal (thankyou) hearing tales about Sammys inability to stop short corner shots at the post decided to not test Sammy & put the ball into his own net! This reinvigorated Lavant who pushed on to score a fifth, against a tiring Pumas side. The match ending Pumas 1 – Lavant 5.

Thanks to everyone who pulled the stops out for us; Alex W & Dan H for umpiring & Finley Boswell who grew into his 1st senior game along with Casper, Harry C & Dan W - It's again another building squad & wait until after xmas!!

MoM - Alberto - for his skill & work rate.
DoD - Dan W for spilling his tea on to the floor
