The Tale of a Weekend Well Fought!

Well, there we have it! The first 9 point weekend for the Watt! It all started on a windy and overcast day in Rosyth where the 1's took on Carnegie's 2's. This was a vital game and defeat of either team may result in their relegation. The game went reasonably well for the Watt with some good expansive hockey being played at times. However more importantly the Watt managed to master what has until now been the weak link in their armour; the team successfully closed the game down, giving Carnegie very little of the ball by playing accurate short passes. The marking was mostly of a high standard by all players. It was a lesson to all in how to grind out a result in what was a physical match, the Watt looked dangerous throughout the 70 minutes and the scoreline of 1-0 didn't do them justice. Many thanks to Sophie for umpiring and having to put up with undeserved amounts of abuse from our favourite fat fifish goalkeeper (Fucking retard!)

Starting 45 minutes later in Kirkcaldy the 2's were playing Carnegie's 5th team. By all accounts the Watt smothered Carnegie for the whole game and were unfortunate not to score more than 2. With the goals coming from Sean and then Sam. Carnegie had drawn level in the middle of the match, but hey! Who cares? We won! A guest appearance was made on the sidelines by the infamous 'Tommy' it was his attendance at the game in the 2nd half which provoked the Watt onslaught and the goal by Sam. In all a good result, it was good to see the goals come from somewhere other than Bungle however the concensus is that the watt would have won by a far greater margin had the goal machine been present! Thanks to Ginge for umpiring, by all accounts a vast improvement from previous attempts.

Then finally, on Sunday the icing on the cake. With the 1's facing a difficult home game to Stirling Uni, the away fixture had resulted in the Watt receiving a 5-0 thumping (our last defeat). And it was on a wave of confidence after 3 wins on the trot that the Watt took to the pitch confident that the diffence in places in the table was a fallacy and that we were the Superior team. Learning from the previous days victory the Watt went out from the start keeping the game tight and giving Stirling very little possession. The Watt took the lead 15 mins in only to see Stirling equalise 2 mins later and so the score remained until half-time. The Watt came out in the 2nd half confident after their first half performance which had seen Stirling largely on the back foot. Mid-way throught the half the Watt scored twice with a goal from eddie and a second from Flymo. This sealed the game and Stirling floundered helplessly trying to respond to the Watt having turned up the tempo. A very good result finishing off the weekend rather nicely. Yet again another masterclass by the Watt in possession hockey. Many thanks to Krebs for umpiring in Watt in my opinion was the umpiring performance of the weekend, he was quick on the whistle and firm with his decisions, kept the game under control well and with performances like that is surely to progress to a higher level of officiating. After the game the Watt contributed to the downfall of one of the Stirling Freshers by causing him to consume a dirty pint and then contributing to it financially and physically (Thank you very much Mr Ewer).

After one very suuccessful weekend we shall hopefully have another, and here are the arrangements for it! The 1's are playing at 2.30 at Royal High and shall be followed at 4 by the 2's. The 2's then have the last 16 of the cup on Sunday away to Dundee Wanderers IV. 'Mon the Watt!
