The Relics have lost their fourth successive match with the tension starting to show as Diamond spits dummy big time. Midway through the second period Diamond went for a 5 metre scamper and when not presented with a perfect ball shouted “this is bullshit” and stormed off. Stunned onlookers shielded the ears of their children as Diamond spat out expletive after expletive. To his credit Diamond regained his composure and begged Coach Vic to be re-admitted to the game. Coach Vic although seething at such a petulant outburst, reluctantly allowed Diamond to re-enter the game. 
Despite the dummy spit, the remaining Relics played hard and should consider themselves unlucky to have lost the fixture two nil. For huge chunks of the game the Relics dominated possession. The last pass went astray numerous times as the Relics repeatedly threatened the Fossils defence.
Both Fossils goals were against the run of play. The first an opportunist breakaway and the second as a result of some goal mouth confusion from the men in shitty mustard yellow and maroon.
The Relics went into the match with a number of players sidelined due to injury and work commitments. Nether-the –less the Relics attacking stocks were bolstered with the inclusion of Pakistani import, Mhusta Bin [Pullen]. Mhusta was sparkling in attack and unlucky on several occasions not to score with some spirited long range attempts. Luckily, most of these shots resulted in Fossil throw-ins, and this kept them under pressure, and the Relics on the attack!
The match video also reveals strong games from Downhill Dave, The Toe, Shadow, The Crow, The Hat and The Silver Brumby. Downhill and The Toe were devastating at times cleverly winning possession from Fossil attackers and sending precision balls to the feet of eager Relics. Shadow led well from the rear, combining well with The Crow and Hat. The Silver Brumby relished his opportunities in the midfield and was as keen as a colt all day, despite missing an open goal from 10 metres. Mickledinho had trouble finding space (and the giant’s house) all game as he was “double teamed” by the Fossils defenders.
As usual MM was solid in goals, with one superb save in the first half the talk of the football world. MM also excelled in hosting the after match function at his house. Visitors to the MM mansion, however, were left wondering; where is the beanstalk?

The Axe ran all day with one Fossil likely to be a bit stiff and sore in the ribs this morning following a typically strong Axe challenge. The Toe also suffered some friendly fire as the Axe almost chopped Toe in half as both he and Axe contested possession.
All in all there was much for Coach Vic to be pleased about as the Relics played the best they have for some time during patches of the match. Next week will be a tough assignment against the Big Noting Budgie Smugglers but the Relics will no doubt be strengthened by the return of Dallas, Maximillion and BB.
Segments of the match video will shortly be available on the Blog.
