Yesterday afternoon, the Dream Team played The Guys and The Girls in a match of no consequence, with one team already guaranteed a final, and the other already eliminated. There was no intensity in the match, as the Dream Team (underhanded as usual) watched the clock run, while laughing at the throwing from their opponents. The first half ended scoreless. The second half looked to get off to a quick start, with the Dream Team getting two opponents out straight off the line. However, play slowed again when two of their own got thrown out. Dream Team captain, Peter, held it together again eating time. His throws were narrowly missing his opponents, while their's were clearing him by metres. Eventually, Peter threw The Guys and The Girls out to score the only point of the game. As I've said previously, this team knows how to wait, and they now enter the final match of 2010 with clean sheet for the tournament.
Yesterday's second match was to determine our other finalist. The Looney Smurfs were up against it, needing to beat the Little Saints by seven points to leapfrog them into the final. It didn't take long to confirm that the Smurfs were out of contention, with the Little Saints taking an early 2-0 lead. Into the second half, the match went up a gear, as the Smurfs started coming back. This match went right down to the wire. With one minute remaining, the scores were locked at 3. The Smurfs score one last time, leaving a few seconds of play left after the reset. Final Score: Looney Smurfs 4, Little Saints 3.
The final will be played in four 7-minute quarters, starting at 4 o'clock next Tuesday (Nov 30).
Keep an eye out Monday for a preview of the final!
