Last Tuesday Shoeys FC (our summer soccer team) got involved in our 3rd consecutive semi final.. facing off against the Top Guns (basically sussex 1st grade mens team) was always going to be an epic match. Shoeys down two 1st grade players - rippo goaly Jon Lee and Shellharbour shralper Jordo Godley had the disadvantage early off. With just seven up against a full strength Top gun lineup we brought out the big guns and hit FC mode straight away. Early on saw a brill cross from jordo straight into the penalty area which russ casually headed into to give us a one goal lead. Some pretty tech passing and attacking followed throughout the first half as the top guns came from behind to make it 4-2 at half time.
Second half was pretty skitz.. we pushed on straight away with another early goal followed by a penalty about 10metres out. Russ steps up boots the shit out of this ball flies over the cross bar onto the other field knocking some dude straight on the ground. Was so crazy first time ive seen a soccer ball drop a full grown man, everyone burst into fits of laughter until they realised he was sort of hurt and Russ had to walk over and apologise. We ended up losing in the end but we played so well, probs the best we played all season so noone was really too disappointed despite us all being super competitive. Russ Quinn gets man of the match for stepping up as rippo striker for the night with a hat trick. Another year another Shoey FC 3rd place. SICK!
