Report by Sarah

Spinal Tap Out V SLAP. Oct 29th, Newington SE1.

Spinal Tap Out 4 (E,E,P,E) – SLAP 2 (JM,Jy)

Spinal Tap Out 5 (E,E,E,P,P) – SLAP 1 (JM)

Spinal Tap Out 2 (P,E) – SLAP 3 (JM,R,R)

With both teams having been defeated by BAD Polo earlier in the evening and each yet to win their first league games, this was a fixture that both teams needed to gain points from.

It was almost 5 minutes before Ed opened the scoring for Spinal Tap Out, and then again at 8 minutes. John came back for SLAP with a great shot at 10min 30sec. Further goals from Prav (12’30), Johnny (13’20) and another from Ed at almost 14 minutes before time was called. Game ended with Spinal Tap Out winning 4-2.

SLAP showed really good promise at the start of the second game. John scored in under a minute, giving SLAP the lead. However, goals from Ed (2’05, 6’05, 9’15) and two late goals from Prav in the 11th minute ensured Spinal Tap Out the win.

The 3rd game was a thriller! A frustrated SLAP really wanted this one. Again John scored the first goal at 40’. Then at 2’15 Prav scored a particularly great goal to equalise. Robb, who went down hard injuring himself in an earlier game and had spent a lot of time in goal, decided to really go for it after this and put SLAP back in the lead at 7 minutes. Both teams fought hard with lots of chances from each end until the last minute when Robb scored again, making it 3-1, and Ed followed up quickly to make the final score 3-2.

Sorry for not much info in the right up..some of those goals were worthy of more detail, but this was the 3rd game I reffed this evening and my hands were too cold too write!
