A Summary of the Week That Was!

It all began on a sunny Saturday at Royal High! Where the 1's took on a Greenock team that had given them a rather thorough pasting! However The Watt were fired-up by a string of victories which had seen them move from the bottom of the table to a comfortable position in the middle of the table. So the Watt wheeled out another solid performance to put 5 past Greenock without reply and ensuring their place in the same league again next season. If the Watt start off next season with the same calibre of performances with which they have finished this season then promotion should be a serious consideration.

This was followed by a cancellation for the 2's against Stirling, Cheers for the points boys!

Then, it was Sunday! Could the Watt travel to Dundee and record another cup victory in a competition that they had come so close to winning last year? Alas, they pricked us around, we were crap. We're out of the cup, after initial enthusiasm from the team about the cup at the start of the season it appeared as though few people actually cared about it when it came to the crunch. This was a team lacking the spirit that had brought them such success.

And then, before we knew it, it was Wednesday and the end of the Season for the 1st team. Unfortunately they didn't manage to continue a winning streak that had started so many weeks ago in Hillhead. It was a good solid performance with the Watt holding the score to 1-1 until 5 minutes from the end when the Watt were on the end of yet another umpiring injustice. A Short corner was awarded and promptly roofed by Watsonians, the umpire awarded a goal as apparently it came of the goalkeepers foot, now, I've met some people with big feet, but never ones that stretch to the top of the D. Alas, despite the protestations of our Umpire and players the goal was awarded. The Watt then conceded 2 sloppy goals after the departure of Matt courtesy of their number 8. Very much a reflection on the season, the Watt fought hard and outplayed the opposition at times but thanks to bad umpiring by another biased umpire and the occasional misplaced ball we were yet again unjustly beaten at the last. Heads up boys, we'll do them over next season. Also, a big thanks to the guys who came down to support, it was much appreciated, lovin' the banter boys.

And finally, what was without doubt the most important match of the week. The ladies BUSA semi-final. They had gone 1 better than the mens achievement of the previous year and made the semi's. Despite the best efforts of Nottingham to prevent the match from being played at all by insisting that the game was played in Nottingham on the wednesday of the middle of our exam week. They achieved rather fantastically to make a disgrace of themselves and of the BUSA competition by failing to commit one sporting act during the whole saga. So the Watt smiled politely and agreed to get up at 6 in the morning and travel all of the way down to Nottingham with players having to miss exams. When the match got underway the delightful Nottingham supporters then proceeded to park themselves in our dugout, which as everyone knows is clearly meant for the oppositions supporters!!!! The end result was to Nottinghams liking. They may have won the match but they haven't won any friends. If drawn against Nottingham in future they shouldn't expect any favours. Just remember, whoever you climb upon on the way to the top is likely to kick you on your way down! And we all know that what goes up must come down! If Nottingham treat all of their opponents like this they can expect a good kicking on their way down! Well done to the ladies of the Watt for what has been an excellent season, we're all very proud of you.

I'd like to finish by saying good luck to the people who still have exams. I hope everybody's got the grades they want and that it's all gone well for you. Just a couple of games left for the 2's now. Hopefully see you all at the union tomorrow and then straight to the game on Saturday. It's almost the end of the season and with it comes the end of an era. Thanks to our departing students for everything that they've put into the club. You guys will all be missed. It's been emotional.
