Men's 4ths lose to St Ives

A warm welcome to Owen and Michael playing competitively for the club for the first time. If you don't know who Michael is, he is the guy that has been to training, Tuesday knockabouts and all the socials for the last 2 years :-).

We learnt a new rule in this game for those who have not done any umpiring.

The goal keeper cannot touch it with his pads outside the D. That proved to be the major difference between the 2 teams in the first half as South battled well and kept a young skilful St Ives side at bay and even created some good chances to go ahead. St Ives scored during the period the 'keeper was off and Simon Jelly bravely donned the helmet and went kicking back and even saved a couple of shorts before a flick went passed to give St Ives a 0-1 lead.

The second half South went for it, but ended up defending large parts of the half and Shahbaz kept out a large number of shots and eventually one did get through to make it 0:2. South then had their best chance when Boris squared the ball back to Ky as he reached for it and turned it hit his foot and thus still no goal after all these years playing for the club (author's prerogative to write about himself). South tried, played well as a team, but St Ives probably deserved the victory based on possession and shots at goal.

Final score 0-3 and the Red Bull played a blinder as far as teas went.
