Tonight we had our final game in our debut season in the BPL. It's been a season of ups, downs and frustrations, but at the end of it I feel as though we can be happy with our endeavours, all things considered.
Seeing George, Myall and Paul off with a win would have been ideal. Buggers scored the first point on O, and we responded, and back and forth and back and forth. They moved the disc too easily at times. Some of our D was great and we looked threatening on O but hesitated a little early on near our end zone. Bevan had a red hot start, getting numerous D's and 3 or 4 points early. It was pretty much a points trade off all match, with one team occasionally breaking the other on D, but break backs occuring. James started playing like a 6'4 person and I burnt it under a number of times, although once turning away as the disc was thrown.. whoops. The lead for Buggers only blew out to 3 points, unfortunately at 12-9. We managed to get the last couple points in a row to pull it back to 14-13, avoiding the time cap for a change (with SlamTown looking on). I'm glad that the score ended close, as this is an accurate reflection of the game and means Stephan can't rubbish us on his blog (or can he?). We didn't really play in patches but played hard all night
Low lights of the season include letting the Lovers steal the game from us first time round, the big loss against Cobras and also Lovers when Jangles was out, and not talking to each other. Also all the tripping on the lines and playing so bad that Matt had to swear at us and that incident leading to Dusty and Chris arguing about the point.
Highlights obviously include the early win against Cobras, the first half against Lovers, all the sweet grabs Myall, Bev and Gav took against unsuspecting opponents, Gavin's 32fun call, all of Mike's praise, beers with JDR and co (actually I felt quite sad that we were at the pub so early), probably tonight's match as a solid performance and other passages of play against Bugs and Passion, namely.
Well I'm stuffed. Goodnight. Big thanks to Matt, again.. not enough words to say how appreciative we are.
Well done Heroes.
