The Relics have added to the Gumbies season of misery with a dour 1-0 victory at Frost 2. The Gumbies are yet to win this season and will be desperate to salute in one of their last four matches to avoid being the only Avoca FC team to lose all competition matches in 2009.
The opening toss was undertaken in sensational circumstances with Relics skipper Mickledinho handing the coin to Statue. Statue duly won the toss setting the Gumbies up for a difficult second half running up hill and facing the setting Kincumber sun. As a tosser Statue is now one for one and Mickledinho still holds a 0-15 record. After the toss Statue said, “hey man what do you expect, I’m a tossing machine.”
Not content with winning the toss Statue had another impact on the game scoring with his first touch with only three minutes on the clock. Statue’s goal was sensational. After finding the ball at his feet in a packed Gumbies box Statue turned, faked, pirouetted, dummied and shimmied to render the Gumbies defence gob-smacked and pie-eyed before spanking a missile-like strike into the top left hand corner of the net. One long-term Roos’ fan described it as one of the most spectacular individual goals ever witnessed at Frost Reserve. Even Gumbies supporters were delirious with exhilaration. Post match when asked about the goal Statue said, “hey man what do you expect, I’m a goal scoring machine.”
From this point the Relics should have gone on with it and given the hapless Gumbies a shellacking, but that was not to be. Poor execution and poor discipline saw the match turn into a grim slugfest.
Tough-man Dallas the Destroyer earned his second yellow card in as many weeks. There are suspicions that Dallas is popping steroids as he has significantly bulked up in recent weeks and this would also explain his unpredictable and aggressive behaviour – lay off the ‘roids Dallas! Coach Vic in a post match spray ordered Dallas to take a couple of weeks off saying “take some time Dallas, get your &%**#@% head straight. We need you on the park for the semis.”
Downhill, obviously inspired by Dallas also earned a yellow after sending an unfortunate Gumby deep into the crowd watching the match on the adjoining ground with a well-timed shoulder challenge.
Leading goal scorers Mickledinho and Coach Vic also kept their records in-tact missing open goals from less than a metre. It is hard to believe how a shot 50cm from an open goal could miss and actually find the sideline for an opposition throw-in. Mickledinho, however, was able to seek some solace from Diamond who said that he had done that many times.
The Relics need a big win next week against Doyalson to keep their finals charge on full tilt.
