Recovering from man flu and still suffering from a swollen ankle, I found myself watching tonight's game vs Mellow Yellow instead of playing. I devoured 2 bananas from the sideline in a hopeful prophetic display of our dominance over yellow.
AO got off to a poor start: 3-8
Then brought it back: 9-11
Mellow finished strongly to win: 11-13
AO Man of match: Dave (ran a lot! including a sprint for a point saving D. plus his regular aerial displays.)
Starky mentioned that perhaps if my bananas had been prophetic, I should be expecting a stomach ache later this evening.
We had a bit of a sleepy start and got down 7-2, but then we played some of the best ultimate we've done this season to get up to 8-7. Calmly working it up the field, good decisions, a mix of short and long throws (i.e. keeping the disc for more than one pass) - only a couple dodgy hucks but they were rescued by Dave floating up above the helpless defenders. Let's keep it up!
