Sunday 5th July, 10h53: (said in a David Attenborough-like voice) A large creature in red is making a dash into the opposition circle in the lush surrounds of the Morningside Country Club. Built like the White Rhinoceros, he is deceptively quick and pounces on any feeding opportunity that presents itself...
10h54: The large rhino spots a chance and makes a fantastic diagonal run, swooping past Game Ranger Fourie, whistle in hand... The Ranger thinks to himself: “something’s on here... and it aint a lady with a lovely b0som!” Elephant Denysshcen spots rhino from the corner of his eye... (Elephant notes what an athlete the Rhino really is) and unleashes a cracking pass into the circle. Rhino does a little shimmy and turns on a six pence like a London Cab, evading his marker he extends his stick and deflects the ball into the back of the net....
Attenborough is beside himself with joy as all National Geographic fans worldwide celebrate in front of their television screens...
For those that are wondering what the f#$% I’m on about, you missed probably the best goal ever scored by an MFP!! J or so you would have thought with the noise that the Rhino made in his goal celebration...
There were a number of hangovers that arrived at MCC on Sunday following a general boozy weekend... some arrived on time, others went to the wrong venue and Dewald arrived mid-way through the first half!!
Nonetheless a short corner after 10 minutes saw Stokkies rocket home from the top of the D and for the first time this season, the MFP’s were in front... it stayed that way until “Rhino” (playing in defence) gifted the ball to the opposition and the breakaway goal brought things level. Fritzy (looking green in the gills) never had any chance with their second a few minutes later for us to go into the break 2-1 down.
The MFP’s played some awesome hockey in the second half and really spread the ball around... somehow the oppo managed to sneak in third goal which Fritzy casually left alone, thinking it had come off the strikers foot! (hahaha J) he was very embarrassed and proceed to take the Punchy Heyns / Carvs award for his antics 2 minutes later when the self-same striker ran into the D, only to be told in no uncertain terms that he would be “squashed like a worm!” The adjectives were slightly different...
It was at this stage that The Athletic Rhino pushed forward through the herd and found himself up-front to make it 3-2, and all of a sudden we thought we were in with a chance but alas they snuck a 4th towards the end to leave the final score 4-2...
All in all, the MFP’s played some awesome hockey and their was much banter and laughter on Sunday making for a super morning...
The fines meeting was a cracker, with Rhino talking himself up for much of it... By the sounds of a phone call that I got from Stoks at about 5pm, it carried on for some time afterwards as well. It seemed as though Stoks and Gazza were arguing over the movement that had lead to Rhino’s goal and needed some clarification.
Awards: MOM: Rhino
FUBAR: ?? (Crumbs Scribe is losing it...)
Punchy Heyns/Carvs: Fritzy
Nathaniel: Kev (I think, for taking on some chaps with weapons after Nico’s thrash on Friday!)
Lads, there is NO GAME this Sunday... so put the feet up, ice the legs and get ready for a return to action next Sunday.
