Round 3 - Return of the Turquoise Socks

A change in schedule saw the Mixed game played first, and with all of the lads on deck, it was a chance to use a deep bench to keep everyone fresh for the later game. In the absence of Jen, two lady-Mullets were also recruited. The Red Bears produced an improved performance against the more-fancied Sloth Rockets, going down 6-4. The return of an enthusiastic Billy resulted in 2 goals, but earned the ire of teammates for his unwillingness to sub out and save some energy for the Black Bears game.

The matchup with Combat Wombats once again produced its share of passion with a tight first half (2-2) and a lanky Wombat turning to water in a stare-down with Boony. Plenty of tough tackles and a fast paced game in the second half saw the Bears draw away with some quick goals before the CW's added 2 late goals to earn some respectability. Final score, Bears up 6-4.

The post-game drinks were dominated by helping Josh piece together the missing portions of Saturday night and an animated conversation on the merits of Spud and Josh's musical tastes.

Next week an early start with the Blacks at 6:30 followed by the Reds game at 7:00.
