Los Conos V S.L.A.P 3/12/2009
From Aidan:
Dave screams “POLO!” at the top of his girly voice prompting Ali and
Robb to come tearing out of their goal mouths with their eyes
transfixed on the rubbery red spheroid. The ball is snatched by Ali
and rushed directly toward her opponent’s territory. Jonny instantly
becomes a nervous wreck making Ali’s shot on goal all the more
easier….
BAM! 1-0 to Los Conos @ 19:59 (that’s what Dave said; he was the time
keeper. It doesn’t make any sense)
S.L.A.P pick themselves up, straighten their bow-ties and proceeded
toward the girls. Robb shifts the ball up the wing only to lose it
almost instantly to Ali. Ali passes the ball onto Jo who takes a first
time shot but misses. Robb, who is now furious pinches the ball back
and sets his sights on the opposite goal. Robb winds his was around
both Jo and Ali only to be met by the disc wheels of Sarah’s bike. The
ball strikes the disc (probably the BAD one) and flies towards the
centre circle and is pounced on by Jo. Jo’s journey towards goal is
shaky, the ball is lost momentarily but then regained and a shot is
taken. The ball deflects off the post and settles in the corner.
The ball is retrieved by Robb and swiftly moved out of the danger
zone. The pressure of being in possession gets to Robb and he can’t
help but foot-down. As Robb taps out Sarah picks up the ball and
begins looking for the open player. Neither Jo nor Ali are to be seen
so Sarah is left with no other option but to shoot. Although Robb was
pilling on the pressure Sarah still managed to get the shot on target,
unfortunately the goal was manned by a recovered Jonny who has
conveniently placed his bicycle in front of the goal preventing any
balls passing between the posts…very clever.
Sarah holds her position at the top of the D while Ali collects the
loose ball. The ball is sent towards Sarah but the terrible pass gets
intercepted on its way. Once again; Robb finds himself in possession
facing a guarded goalmouth. Robb slowly but surely moves up the pitch
while being chased down by Jo…the shot is taken but is returned by
the wheel of Ali’s budget bike.
Ali charges for the ball and manages to pick it up just outside her
box. Jo waits patiently for the pass but is disappointed by Ali’s
terrible control as the ball is given away as it so frequently was in
this game. The ball is acquired by Roberto and blasted towards
goal…it bounces off a cone and is frantically cleared by Ali. Ali’s
attempt to make amends results in a foot-down and a free ball for John
Mack. John manoeuvres into the corner and is blessed with a lucky
bounce as the ball darts diagonally across the court. Robb appears
from nowhere and uses his first touch to shoot. Once again the ball
ricochets off Sarah’s disc-wheel only to end up in Robb’s possession.
He shoots but misses. Jo clears the ball from the danger zone. The
game pace slows as John farts about in the corner trying to retrieve
the ball…
Many moments later…
Jo guards the ball in the centre while slowly moving towards S.L.A.P’s
goal. Police Constable Mack and Superintendent Slamm are hot on her
tail but Arrive seconds too late as the shot has already been taken.
The ball is detained and held for questioning. After further
investigation it turns out the ball bounced off Jonny’s wheel and
settled in a safe zone…
Tune in tomorrow for the next instalment of the intense battle between
the Mightly Los Conos and the slightly below average S.L.A.P!
