Rd 18 - VS Tawa Saints, Sat 16 August

18/8/2014

 
Write-up by Pete

Elite 1 - Saints 2

Scorers: Andrew

This is the best write up in the world….. Tribute

The other weekend me and the Elite, were driving down a long a lonesome road (seriously Onepoto is a depressing place).

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.

And he said:

"Play the best football in the world, or I'll eat your soul."

Well me and the Elite, we looked at each other,
and we all said... "Okay."

And we played an average game of football and we didn’t use our heads,
Just so happened to be,

The most average football in the world, was the most average football in the world (this write up would have been way better if we had of won)

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one makes a draw, two and one makes a loss,
It was their destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the Saints do win

Needless to say, Onepoto was stunned.
Squish-squish went their soggy pitch,
And the game was done.
They asked us: "Be you tired?"
And we said, "Nay. We are Elite."

So off to the pub we went.


This is not The Greatest write-up in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest write-up in the World, no, no.
This is just a tribute!

For anyone who does not get the reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lK4cX5xGiQ

I am also glad that the fine book is shut.



But down to the serious matter of points and who gets them. Unfortunately we couldn’t come away with the win so I though the less we talk about the game the better. There were some standout players though.

3 Points – Damo

Although I should deduct 3 points for your gold pimp chain and leaving early. I thought you played a good game and really held the back line together making tackle after tackle and keeping their speedy attacks at bay.

2 Points – Andrew

Two points, one for each defender you managed to school on your solo effort that managed to keep us in the game.

1 Point - Nick

For running and running and running down the wing time and time again.
