Back on track

Who needs a bench when you get an effort like that? Despite having the bare 5 Bears available, the lads fired up for the clash with MennerNMen, led by the crafty Giancarlo. This side has always troubled the Bears, and after 2 poor efforts in recent weeks, a win was required to stay in the top 4.

Sticking to a plan to control the ball and frustrate the opposition, the Bears created some opportunities and took advantage with early goals. A mix up at the back led to a soft reply from the 'Men, but it was the Bears who ultimately prevailed with an emphatic 5-1 victory. Everyone got on the score sheet, including Spud with a cracker from the left side that spared us all from the possibility of a nudie run.

The effort was fantastic, but unfortunately left the lads flat for the second game. Despite the best efforts of the girls, we were out-hustled and left Macer with too many 2 on 1 situations. The score could have been a lot worse and was kept in check by the athletic custodian.

Next week is the final week before the finals with the lads squaring up against Million Dollar Babies at 6:30pm, who held us to a 3-3 draw in round 4, and the mixed side completes the season against WhiteLightning at 7:00pm
