7 a side

Have started copping a bit of a spanking in 7 a side lately. Last night in particular wasn't a very enjoyable game. To be honest losing by 5 goals could be worse but it's still a hefty margin.

Got no idea why my team is in Div2 when there is a Div3 available. My boys (Yeronga 3rds) fill out pretty much an entire team in 7 a side and they get to play in Div3. My team that I've organised has a handful of players from Yeronga and the other half of the team are Irish blokes who have never kicked a Sherrin before this comp. And yet we're in Div2! Hmm...

Last night we were basically just outrun by this mob of UQ soccer players. They weren't particulary skillful but they had pace and ran into space well. Despite their kicking styles being all over the place they kept hitting guys on the chest with wobblers or putt it out in front of them and they managed to get there first. They were fit and very much quicker than us.

The week before we got beat by a team composed of mainly Aussie Rules players from Sherwood. Who play in a Division normally higher than Yeronga Seniors!

Basically I think we're a little bit out of our depth. But I guess we have no choice but to struggle through and try to enjoy what we can. Hope future games are better than last night...
