Met 2 North

On early Sunday morning the panthers turned up to play the last round match of the year. The game against 4th placed Maccabi was to decide the minor premiership.
SL 1 player Steve JARVIS made the mistake of turning up to watch his brother play and when our umpire did not turn up he was asked and umpired for us. Maccabi also turned up without an umpire and injured veteran Simon LEUNG stepped up to help out.
The game started strongly with Waverley attacking strongly but Maccabi were able to repel our attacks. Our strikers and midfielders were able keep the pressure on Maccabi and it resulted in the panthers slotting some goals.
I cant remember how but Daniel DOBBINS and Tim STOCKS finished up with 2 goals, Darryl SEEDSMAN, Ben HOCKING and Greg STRYDOM all ended up with a goal.
The longer the game went on the more the only 11 Maccabi players started to get tired. This resulted in the game being very stretched and sometimes Maccabi having 3 players in their attacking 25 while the other 8 players were defending in the 25.
The final score ended up being a 7-0 win to the panthers which guaranteed us the minor premiership and promotion to Met 1 in 2011. Next thing is the final series. First up is Doncaster at home on Saturday.
Congratulations to the men and women SL1 teams for winning the minor premiership. Congratulations also the men and women pennant A, women pennant D, men’s met 4 East, women’s met 3 south and the men’s and women’s veterans teams for making the finals.
Good luck to all.
