Comments:
Jason: At last I beat Adam, but only by a huge Adam mistake. I cannot remember the last time I beat him.

Comments:
Steve: Another good game. Even in possession. I had a few more shots and opportunities, and I nipped it. I think I was rushing in the second half [leading to more unforced errors].
Simon: Steve scored a great first goal. I am very disappointed to have conceded the second. The game was closer than the score line suggests, but he just edges me now.

Comments:
Wayne: Steve scored the nicest goal of the season.
Steve: That was the best goal I have scored in a long time. A long ball from defense, a rolling ball, an extended body, on one leg, into top corner. Still lost 3-1 though.
Wayne: My comment after the goal was "Wow". I thought my marking was very good, was actually better than my offense.

Referee : Jason Mitchell

Comments:
Wayne: It's getting really, really hard to get an open shot on goal against Simon. I had two very good chances, I hit the crossbar. Simon's defense is brilliant. Particularly in the first half Simon missed flicks he usually makes, but I know he hates this pitch.
Simon: Disappointed to have conceded the goal. I did have several opening but misflicked to fall short [of the ball].

Comments:
Adam: I did pretty good for my first game [for several weeks]. I was very surprised to have scored. My first goal was surprising. My second goal was lucky, I got a very lucky break. I am very happy for the draw.
Kevin: Adam flicked very well. He took advantage of several defensive lapses of mine to score two well earned goals. My next match with Adam will be my revenge!

Comments:
Steve: There was a lot of action. I am glad to win the game. I needed it to hold my place in the standings. I felt I had more possession than I normally do, and it gave me more shots.
Simon: I was very disappointed to have conceded the first goal. His second was a cracker. I found the slope of the pitch hard to cope with as in the second half the ball kept running away from me.

Comments:
Simon: I decided to play an open and attacking game as opposed to my normal eight man defense. It made a difference on the way the game panned out as Wayne could not push forward and leave gaps in his defense. Finally, someone has stopped Wayne's 100% record.
Wayne: Damn! Simon's tactics worked very well. He clogged midfield and made defensive flicks when he needed to, combined with not making the flicks I needed to. Simon almost come away with 1-0 [with the last shot of the game].

Comments:
Adam: It was a good game. Kevin had made some flicks. I just had one more goal than him.
Kevin: Considering the fact that I drank two beers prior to my match...
Adam: I whooped his butt.
Kevin: ... and the fact I am recovering from a severe illness [cold] Adam's victory is totally illegitimate.

Comments:
Wayne: Another difficult game. Again my lack of practice was showing. Steve was off as much as I was. Finally, after hitting the goalkeeper eight times in the last two games I finally got one over the goalkeeper and into the goal, nicking the goalkeeper. My frustration was overflowing and I managed to put it behind me to score the last goal.
Steve: Even when Wayne plays bad, I play worse. I was keeping possession but could not put it together.
