Match Report for 12th March 2010
Muckross v Three Rock Rovers - Friday 12th March 2010
The official manager was in a dilemma as to who should play in goal due to the fact that with Dee in goal the team would only have 10 players but with yours truly in goal and Dynamite Dee outfield we would have 11.
The decision was taken on the night to play 11, the game got under way with Margaret Towers umpiring on the far side of the pitch which was a little unsettling as she normally umpires on the rugby pitch side. After about 5 minutes play a short corner was awarded to Three Rock - god knows why - anyway they scored partly because our goalie was crap although Bernie did try to stop the ball with her leg. A few minutes later our crap goalie was faced with 2 on 1 and obviously went for the wrong player - yes they scored again. One of their forwards swore but the umpire chose to ignore this - perhaps a letter should be written to the Leinster branch pointing out how un-lady like this is!!! Me thinks she may have been enticed into swearing by one of our players (no names mentioned).
Nora pulled a fetlock and swapped places with Helen as centre forward - hopefully she’ll be ok for our last match.
Half time arrived with us 2-0 down, there was a quick turn around and believe it or not our goalie (and she’s good - no not me) from last week did a spectacular dive in the circle and scored!!! For some reason Vanessa decided to come back and play in defence, perhaps she was hoping to get player of the match - your trick failed. All was going along swimmingly until about a minute to go when Three Rock struck again and we went down 3-1. Mary MacSherry and Bernie O’Sullivan shared player of the match.
It was great to see Eleanor back out playing. Good luck to the team on 26th March when they take on Hermes in Railway at 7.30pm as I won’t be there and have left Dee in charge - will she show up on time to open the changing rooms??
