Ouzo win 5-0 over a short handed Mesopotamia

Posted by Rob Anderson on Feb 20 2010 at 04:00PM PST

SOCCER CITY - ETOBICOKE:  Ouzo FC had a mixed bag of results up until today’s game knowing that anything other than a win would seriously dent their chances of a league win and a ‘golden shower…erm Banquet”.

 

Last time out we played to a 6-6 draw so defense would be at a premium to change that last effort. Anderson was running the bench for a second straight game due to a mystery injury called ‘Canada’s playing on the big screen in the bar’ and started the game with a light bench although Mesopatamia played with no subs. Advantage Ouzo.

 

The game started with a predictable slow pace with both teams marking tightly. It must have been the Late arrival of the our Greek and English flag bearers coming over the boards that burst Ouzo into life and with some sustained pressure in the offensive end for ‘Mike of the ladies’ to pop up and slam home a drive from close range. The goal settled down the team who started to posses the ball more and look for ways the press home their advantage. The big weapon of the night would be employing the use of ‘wing backs’. Something of a master-stoke for two reasons. One it allowed fast movement from defense to attack and resulted in the next 3 goals (2 by Delaney) and secondly it allowed our number 9 to walk around the pitch…which it was noted ‘was up to our usual standards’ by coach Anderson.(5-3 USA…how did we know?) Judging by the sweat coming from our defensive unit at the end of the 5-0 rout there were definitely more beers consumed the night before than anyone was letting on…So to the Bar.

 

The usual celebration inspired by our win involved Shirts off, Free Ouzo Shots, Lech and an unusual amount of Guiness. A couple of new recruits joined us with ‘Mrs Fletch to be’ and The Cats New Beau (a Magners Drinker!!) in the mix.

 

No CAA this week but photos confirm the final 4 of Anderson, Delaney, Spence and some guy called Pete Tong leaving at 330 am.
