Episode 12 – Old Brighton
The best form of preparation for a game of football is to play games of football.
Unfortunately with three forfeits in the last four weeks, our lead up to the big clash against our newest foe, Old Brighton was not ideal.
Now that feels like we're making up excuses, and if there is one thing the Thirds are not, its excuse makers. The thirds are a rugged and ultra-competitive group who pride themselves on taking the contest up to the opposition, no matter if we are home or away. And for a lot of Saturdays game, we did that. But unfortunately, in that 100 minutes of football we went missing for 20 minutes and it cost us the game, cost us second spot, cost us the double chance. Shame
But that’s footy
If you don’t bring your game face on game day, it can cost you a lot. This week is certainly did
But that’s footy and the benefit of all the other great minutes of play the team put together across the year has meant that we finished third and we now are one of four teams with the opportunity to get our hands on the piece of silver wear that everyone in every division is chasing
Congratulations to all who have put on the jumper and represented the thirds and helped us finish third. Last year it took a total of 64 players to finish third, this year 58 including a couple of crackers by Coach A
Making finals two years in a row is a great achievement but lets not leave it there
Let’s re-commit and prepare for another arm wrestle against Old Brighton again next week
Now is your time
Coach A
Goals: S Kalmus 1, J Kalmus, Rothschild 1, Hendel 1, Rosenwax 1, Berman 1, Black 1,
Bests: Southwick, Waislitz, S Jacobs, S Kalmus, Schwartz, Gabriel
