AO Match Report Round 4

(Image stolen from Sam of Bermuda's Facebook)

After their defeat to in-form Discheads last week, Bermuda were out to redeem themselves tonight. Orange welcomed back Dstrel from his OS adventures but were missing Steph to the same cause. James was seen smashing down a kebab only moments before the game.

Wind conditions (at least at the start of the game) suited zone, which always suits Bermuda, but it was AO who struck first. A strong zone and some fast offence saw AO take the score to 6-3. Dave made some big leaps and new recruit Cam was cutting well. Our zone started getting sloppy however, where Bermuda's was finally getting stuck in. Things got hairy. We had no answer to Bermuda's D. At one point we (accidently) tried playing with 8 players after a substitution miscommunication. Not surprisingly this wasn't the answer. Bermuda scored 6 in a row to 9-6. AO stayed instensely competitive but couldn't convert another point until after the buzzer 9-7.

After the '4 grading games' AO have 1W 2L 1Bye. So it would be expected that we end up in the 2nd pool of div2. That's a shame! I'll wait for the BUML announcement though before I shed a tear.

  1. This makes me very sad, and bored, because I think we could have won the Div.

    As for the match, we started explosively. Our movement was great as we made fast, sweeping passes through space. I was most happy about our dumping and recycling through the middle. Most players seem aware of this option and are not looking to force the disc.
