Somerset County Futsal League
Easton Cowboys 2-2 Team Bath 3rds
Easton Cowboys first ever official Futsal match took place this Valentines Day. Eight pious warriors took a vow of celibacy for the morning and went forth to gloriously defend the mighty Easton and the jewel in her crown, the Plough Inn.
Team Baths facilities were clearly created for proper athletes: the building was like a humungous sports space-station with amazing, pristene facilities attended to by hundreds of clean cut athletic specimans. Enter Bristol’s only anarchist football team stinking of cider. My brother said he felt like the Jamaican bob-sleigh team in ‘Cool Runnings’.
Game kicked off and we were all over them. 2-0 up at half time thanks to the goals and silky skills of the two ginger ninjas up front, Ian Riddell and Will Stewart. Wilf Longmoore also nicely getting the hang of playing target man and creating Wills goal. If their keeper hadn’t been so good and we were a bit more accustomed to shooting into such a weird shaped goal, we would of had a few more. We tired in the second half due to their superior numbers and when they pulled one back they realised they were back in it. There last minute equalizer was sickening simply because we had dominated them for so long. Also because our defence had been so solid; man of the match Brendan Tate dictating play and big Jack and little Jack (Daniels and Kelly) rarely beaten. Special mention also for Steve Bayer in goal making his Cowboys debut. Verdict: would have looked a class act if his beer belly hadn’t wobbled so much when plucking it away from the top corner.
Tactically the manager still has a bit to learn as well – if anyone has a clue how to get past a 5-aside team playing 4 at the back i’ll make you assistant manager, buy you a caparinhia and let you fill up the water before our next game. All welcome to Futsal training on Thursdays @ Easton Leisure Centre 5.15 p.m (different location this week). Just get in touch jessetate888@yahoo.com.au or 07886337507 or ring Jack Daniels 07929204340 or Jack Kelly 07742762783.
Futsal is the Brazilian version of 5 – aside football with a ball that encourages more skill and dribbling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ8AfOkVm98
