BNU Public Service vs BNU Pints

As much as we hate playing them it was a reasonably competitive match and they made us work hard. Admittedly so did that b*astard of a home ground, Happy Valley. Reduced to a muddy cesspool by weeklong rain and a light drizzle on the day, it only got worse. A first half goal by Ben Dover after being sent through by BC was countered by a lateish medium range strike by the Pints that just beat the outstretched diving hand of Angry Dom. The match was highlighted by two non decisions. The refs whistle stayed loudly silent as Sam was blatantly pulled off the ball as he was through on goal. Then when the Pints striker was passed the ball in a shocking offside position, the whistle went for a goal, but was reversed after a considerable verbal outburst by the Public Service defensive set. The one that got away but it does mean the final game of the season has a little bit more riding on, depending on this weeks results. Final score 1-1.

The Public Service have the “bye” this weekend and have been given a second match against the Porirua team they thrashed 9-1 earlier this season. They sit just four goals shy of the magic 100 for the season, and this appears to be the game to grab those four goals.
