Super Soccer. The game with more handshakes than ball control.

It was another great evening to be out in the stadium on Tuesday night. The warmth of summer could still be felt in the air, the team looked positive and there were plenty of seats available. In fact, all the seats were available. Apart from the Cobras and the referee, no one was there. The IDC were late. And so the Cobras once again called on Old Man Father Time to the team. There is an old rule that states for every minute a team is late, a point is awarded. It’s fair, but harsh. Two minutes later, when kick-off actually started the Cobras looked like they were in a fairly good position. 2 nil up is a good way to start any match. The Cobras, the definite under dogs, now had opportunity. The student becomes the master.

Rumour had it Jason’s shoe sponsor (Nick) upgraded his boots to new, highly technological ones that can make you jump two inches higher. Unfortunately, they can’t make you shoot better. Having missed two golden opportunities, he decided to play midfield and let someone else strike. Soon 2 goals were added to the Cobra’s tally, giving them a solid 4 points. But 4 isn’t good when the opposition has 8. We played a solid game. Werno’s mom can sleep with a smile, knowing her son played the game of his life. His wall was as solid as a Trellidoor. Nice one Inferno.

So we’re still in eight position on the league. Tonight’s game is going to be a watershed. Will the Cobras rise, or will they flounder?

Father Time will tell.
