Masters 1 2011

 

The Cavs have weathered a preseason controversy with Marist for Lifer F. Brakkhuis rumoured to be putting in for a  transfer to North Wgtn at a preseason "training" BBQ causing a massive uproar amongst those gathered. This rumor has since been scotched, with Frank set to play in his umpteenth season for the green and whites. A counter rumour surfaced that another, undisclosed, Cav had put in the transfer request on Franks behalf, this is yet to be confirmed....

 

Best of luck to all Teams :) Hopefully we all get lots of games at Te Whaea and Wakefield when it is up and running.

 

 

Cavs Fun Facts and Things to Ponder...

 

- Can Westy miss the goal from closer than 6 inches this year?

- Will Bernie write a positive match report?

- Can Marty go a full game without losing his cool?

- Will Murph win an Oscar for Best Director?

- Will Craig pass?

 

An interesting season awaits

 

IBU were one of the teams to beat last year, had a very good side, wonder how they will get on this season with the personnel changes.

 

We were reasonably lucky to get a 1-0 win vs Eastbourne, they had a strong side, and played a nice brand of football, not heaps of chances for either side, but we managed to take one of ours and our keeper pulled of some great saves to keep us in the game. High attrition rate has already kicked in with a couple of injuries, looks like the cast of thousands will quickly turn into scraping the barrel for players as per usual.

 

Looking forward to Te Whaea on Wednesday night, rematch of our cup final with Porirua from last year, should be a good hard game.

 

Island Bay 3 Nth Wellington 2

Marist 8 Porirua City 0

 

Man do we love playing at Te Whaea! Great result for us, score does not do Porirua any justice however, they played well, and the match was not as one sided as the result may indicate. Still we are really happy with the result and hopefully masters 1 will get more games on the turf, it's awesome! Big game for us vs Island Bay on Sat. Good luck to all teams

Lots of high scoring games this round (again) we were lucky to have a good second half and put a few past North Wellington, despite them really coming out of the blocks well after half time and scoring a nice goal to make it 2-1. Final score 6-1. Norths suffered a wee bit through starting with 10 and only getting 11 at the half, but it was a good competitive match. A bit of niggle from both sides, but you get that with grumpy old men.

 

We were thinking we might sneak back to the top on GD today, but the Dreamers continue to outstrip us in the goal scoring stakes, and by results look like they are going to be the team to beat, we struggled a fair bit vs IBU last week, so for the Dreamers to put seven past them...they sound like a formidable outfit. We will be looking for payback vs Wests next weekend for them doing the double on us last year.
