Old Colfs Gone with the wind…7-1 to Inter Vyagra

The following is not so much a forecast as a reflection on the insanely strong wind and the opposition that we left in the doldrums.

Gale warning
10.30 (ish..!!) Sunday 18 Mar

South Easterly storm force, 9 players increasing later to 11 with oppo standing in.

Wind
Came mainly from the west (Hammersmith via Matteo) Light in-pant staining was expected but failed to materialize. Unexpected lateness from the east, Essex trains delayed the Schmitt front. Late on he moved in quickly to cause squalls of talent in the midfield.

Weather
Very strong waves of pressure forming along the IVFC front leading to multiple hail of shots on target resultant in saturation point.

Visibility & Activity
All players Moderate or good, very occasionally poor. On the wing’s, Pete was found blowing hard but effective, Kochs was like lightening (relatively)
The middle of the park was deluged with IVFC passing and moving. Up front the tall one and Neutoni were effective in causing depression amongst the OC’s defense. The rear of the team held strong tightly packed lines and would have produced a clean sheet bar a minor mishap and an isolated goal strike.

State of Opposition.
Very rough and slow, occasionally brought pressure. A real Shower.

And now for individual Goal Force warnings
NEUTONI 4,lots of pressure, veering left and right to take seasonal goal tally higher.

‘M’ 1 goal with severe movements from midfield leading to multiple spray of purposeful shots to bring into effect other IVFC players.

SPARGO 1 (Pen) slow moving but ever present, presented immovable presence, thundering into people even without the ball.

DOUGARRI 1 and many rising…storming performance even so!



Team- Tom, Whippet, Pab-‘Low’, Will-oppo, ‘Wind’ Sox, Kochs, Spargo, ‘M’, Pete (Storm ‘f’orce 1), Dougarri, Neutoni

Champagne moment – when the oppo actually managed to get out of their own half after the break.

Man of the match – Neutoni – for tireless running on and off the ball and a bag full of goals.
