Australian Convicts Vs USA Revolution

The ground was hard and dusty and most of our team was under the weather after a week of partying. Probably a good thing that we were only playing 20 minute halves. Some of us were very concerned that the would get flogged and perhaps if the game was regulation time we may have as they appeared to be a young fit team. What let them down was their disposal and decision making. Our boys were more experienced in where to place themselves in contests and where to place the ball in disposals.

As for me, I was too concerned with my man as I was playing defense. I almost finished with the duck egg in disposals but I managed to get a quality handpass in the second half. Ah well, when you're dominating it's hard to get a touch in defense.


Note sure what the final score was but we won by about 4 goals.

Austrailian Convicts Vs Canadian Northwind

After a rough start to the trip we were flung into our playing strip and unsurprisingly were slow out of the blocks. Due to flight cock ups we had no chance to train prior as a team, plus all of us hadn't played for a couple of months. You could start to see us click during the second quarter.

Parts of the Canadian play was quite impressive. It was good to stand back as a spectator and see what the Canadians can do.

We were worn out by the third quarter and it appeared like the youth and freshness of the Canadian line up would run over the top of us as they came as close as one goal after the margin got out to 8 goals.

Experience won out in the end as late goals saved the day and pushed the margin out to a comfortable distance.

As far as individual statistics, not much to talk about: couple of kicks and a couple of handpasses, not much niggle either.
