Muckross Vets back on form!!!!
Well Ladies, I’m delighted to report that all the news from the Vets camp is positive – bar one slight hiccup – the absence of a bar at Railway’s grounds of a Friday night! This has resulted in itinerant hockey players wandering the highways and byways of Ballsbridge and Sandymount on a number of Fridays looking for a packet of crisps – a situation that can not be allowed to continue. An item for the AGM next week?
Dynamo Dee has returned from injury and is once again shrouded in pads kickers and face mask. She has taken a vow not to throw herself on the ground every time a ball comes within an ass’s roar of the goal mouth but has not been very successful in keeping the vow.
Our official manager has managed to hold on to her extremely sought after position despite the team’s shaky start to the season. Lack of facilities at Railway have however, meant that she is not able to put in a personal appearance on the sideline but has had to resort to telephone instructions to the team from her home bar in St. Alban’s Park! This approach has been very successful and we will be suggesting that all teams try this next season!
An so to the matches;
Friday 6th March, Muckross V Three Rock
An excellent match in fine weather. Muckross fielded a full team but Three Rock could only manage 10 players. However, they rose to the occasion and managed to give Dee a few anxious moments. Mary MacSherry lined out at centre back for Muckross and then had the nerve to leave the rest of the backs holding the fort as she sashayed into the Three Rock circle and scored the first goal of the match! Some people just do not know their place! Vanessa, who at least was playing on the forward line, made the score 2-0 in the second half and that was the final score.
Friday 27th March, Muckross V Botanics
Again the weather gods smiled and the opposition managed to find their way across from the north side. Botanic are always a formidable foe and double shin pads were issued to all our team. Muckross managed to get in the first score with a lovely goal from Helen. Colette whacked in a second goal before Botanic managed to reply with a goal which just sneaked passed Dee’s outstretched kicker and the score was two –one to Muckross at half time.
Botanic piled on the pressure in the second half and Dee and the backs did well to keep the ball out of our net. However, the poor Botanic umpire was the one under most pressure, putting up with dogs abuse from both teams as she struggled to keep order in our half as the minutes ticket towards the final whistle.
The final score was 2-1 to Muckross after a hard fought game.
The next match is this Friday the 17th April in Railway– see you all there!
