What can i say about the performance against Cardiac Arrest? Well it was certainly a tale of two halves. The first looked like the Madison Celtic indoor team of the last few years, with great passing movement and spectacular goals from Ruggero and David. The second was simply a nightmare as the Cardiac Arrest team double teamed David and put fast breaking guys up front. We collapsed! From 5-1 up at the half we were quickly only leading by a goal as stupid defensive errors led to easy goals for the Cardiac team. For some reason The Hulk decided the ball was a hot potato and refused to pick it up choosing to send probes into the outer atmosphere of the galaxy with his clearances. The rest of the team, including this intrepid reporter, decided to respond to all this mayhem by slowing down even further! Before long we were 7-5 down and in a sorry state. No passing, no movement and no tackling. Only with 5 minutes left in the game did the Celts finally buck up and put more pressure on the Cardiac defense. Tano scored a brave goal to put us one behind but with the clock ticking down we were not able to find an equalizer. Poor result after such a great first half!
Our next game is against Cardiac Arrest this Thursday at 7pm. This is the team that Goggs and Tom Da Judge play for so it will be a good competitive match! I think in the past we have managed to beat them fairly easily... or is my memory failing me? Having said that, the way we have been playing over the last couple of games we could be in a for a thrashing!
