Game 2 Preview

April 19, 2007

Real Gumbies FC (4th) v Chargers FC (5th) 6:20pm Training at Laburnum 5pm – try to be on time.

Both teams are coming off narrow defeats in their round 1 games. The Chargers who were relegated from Division 5 last season lost in a closely fought game to BHS United 5-3. Meanwhile the Gumbies lost to the Lucky Strikes 7-5. In the other game the Eastern Vultures defeated It’s a Free Country 6-0. It’s a Free Country were relegated from Division 5 last season, and Eastern Vultures is a new team.

Stats for Sunday

This is the first time the Gumbies play the Chargers. If Naveen scores a hat-trick, this will be the 10th time he scores 3 or more goals in the one game for the Gumbies. If Naveen scores one goal, this will mark his 50th goal for the club. If Andy scores a goal this will mean every Gumby has scored.

We have conceded 5 or more goals 15 times out of 21 (71%). Of those 15 matches – we have won 1 match

1. Drifters won 6-5.

The other six matches where we didn’t concede 5 or more goals were –

1. Vanderlay Industries lost 4-1
2. Eric Li won 10-1
3. Dragons won 6-3
4. He Punted Baxter won 10-2
5. Dragons won 9-3
6. Team Targe won 5-2

What does this mean – this means we win when everyone plays well defensively!!

Everyone bring a ball (if you have one).
