Relics dominate Kanwal in 2-1 win

In a move away from tradition herein is scribed a report to hopefully describe some semblance of what actually happened on a cool Saturday afternoon at Kanwal for avid fans, Relics abroad and hall of fame Relics like Coach Crow.

Whilst lacking the comical features of the below sports journalism penned by the irrepressible Dildo, this report can possibly be viewed as an adjunct to that report.

It was good to see a full team plus subs make the trek North, this included Dallas who was there to spur us on (or stick to us in his usual style) ,Smokey who thankfully brought his kit and with a damaged hammy went on to pull off a stellar performance in goals and Grant who is like a 12^th man managing the sub interchange and after match drinks.

From the kickoff the Relics immediately dominated all over the park with only the occasional counter attack from Kanwal who looked a side largely unchanged with possibly a couple of new recruits from last year.

In the centre of the park Dildo and Blackbeard were winning the majority of loose balls and creating opportunities for the ball to go forward. Such was the frustration by the opposition that Dildo was brought down in a tackle from behind that was lucky to leave him still on the paddock.

Macca, Rob, Roy and Jaffa were cleaning up any of the occasional counterattacks by the green machine whilst banker handled there long balls with consumate ease.

Philby seemed to be everywhere, plugging gaps and not giving the opponents a second on the ball.

There were lots of good combinations happening on the park with passing training midweek starting to materialize in the game.

Kanwal up to this game undefeated, had that title for a reason and they continued to put pressure on the ball carrier. The Relics however continued to show continued improvement with Howler and Coops unlucky not to put Relics ahead in the first half as Blackbeard limped off to be replaced by Zulu who had a great game thereon with a solid performance in the midfield.

The second half saw Kanwal score on a counter against the run of play and we had that sinking feeling, Tolly continued to give 150% as always but it was the new relics Roy, Coops, Maca, Coops and Pullo who proved undeniably to be the difference in taking away 3 pts at the end of the day. Coops received a ball from Roy that saw him break away up the left and take on the keeper one on one, scoring without hesitation.

5 mins later Pullo, put the ball on a tee outside the box and slotted it past the keeper ending Kanwal’s dream of an undefeated season.

Well done boys, good talk out there, and some good football with better to come.
