Green Island boys vs Old Men from Invercargill...
WELL DONE OLD BOYS
Yes the weather was a leveller for the Old Boys side.. they won nearly every tackle.. eight men behind the ball and played it simple.
GI lacked the players to change the dry weather football they were playing, to suit the conditions. Nice looking ineffective football...
When it is fine and the track is hard, GI play nice attractive football..
Here's an idea.. whack the ball in early, pick up scraps or as it comes back out put it back in... whats the point of taking three passes to do the same thing when the opposition has lined up on the edge of the box.
It is a hard road for GI they have 11 similiar players, not sure how a coach can improve the team.
