That's Robert Stanton who transferred over to Coastal just before the June deadline to strengthen our Over 45's side. His son Pop has been with us all season but missed the game through injury. Daniel Moir was also out through injury and Gary McDermott left for Wellington 3 weeks ago, now playing for Miramar again, so it was a bit of a depleted side that went to Dunners hence only 3 on the bench. Also why Ben Lennon went in goal late in the 2nd half with Matt Thomas going outfield wide on the left. Hughesy didn't really contest the corner just made it look like he did as he was buggered. I understand Korouch didn't actually use those words, may have been taken out of context or poetic licence used? And the description of Flemings goal as a rasping drive rivals my statement about the corner being uncontested (Matt Thomas could hardly be described as tall!), still a great goal though and one he should be very proud of. Yes all in all a fair result and one of the best games I've watched in a long time as well, very good advert for footy. Enjoyed that as much as the All Whites v Bahrain in Wellywood.
