Participants - James, Patrick, Neil, Matthew C., Tommy, Robbie, Maciej, Jordan, Josh, Taylor and Peter.
Offensive Player of the Game - Maciej; great passing.
Defensive Player of the Game - Neil; got in the way.
Played at: Gareena
Notable Absentees - Alex, Ezra.
Best Shotblock/Save - Maciej, stoning James on a breakaway. James looked to go to his forehand and roof it, but Maciej's positioning was world class. World dot class.
Best Goal - Jordan, who re-directed home a long range pass from Maciej. Perfect pass, perfect top shelf deflection. No chance for keeper Taylor. That goal was so nice, Matt decided to go home, for nothing he or anyone else would do would top that very nifty finish.
Best Goalkeeper - Peter, outdueling Maciej, Taylor and Matthew C. Peter had a few fine saves, let in the least goals, and used the big glove to his advantage.
Best Deke - Jordan, taking on three defenders and coming out with the ball. There is no way that should happen, but lo and behold it did. Thrice!
Best Pass - see best goal.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Maciej, going wide on the defender in front of him and firing a wrister three hundred metres wide left. Ugly.
Biggest 'Jacob' - Patrick, under the fence clearance.
Best Fashion Sense - Matthew C; the hat worked its magic.
Worst Fashion Sense - Peter; his jacket unbuttoned to see an ugly tee.
The James Moment - Robbie's pass. Patrick told him to move around the tree and then pass, but Robbie didn't listen. He stood where he was, leaned into a pass, and hit the tree straight on. Ew. Dot net.
