Lost 0 - 1 v Old Garchonians (A), SAL Intermediate Div 2

14/12/2013

Norsemen travelled to Old Garchonians in search of some points to lift them from the bottom of the table at the Christmas break. Garchonians had reason to be up for the game also as a win would see them leading the table into the new year. 

Unfortunately the day didn’t start well for Norsemen with travel problems on the train lines and a no show ensuring that only 9 people warmed up prior to 11 people making KO. It got worse after 10mins when Norsemen lost Marco for the match with a knee injury.

Garchonians started strong and put Norsemen under immediate pressure. Wave after wave was thwarted before Norsemen got any semblance of possession. It was probably a good 20 minutes before Norsemen really settled into the match and began going blow for blow with their opposition, the best chances coming once again from getting in behind on the wings and whipping in crosses. However after a tensely fought half Norsemen were perhaps the happier being nil all at the half.

The second half didn't start well with Norsemen conceding possession in midfield and conceding the lead from the ensuing break. It was a sloppy goal to concede and heads were in danger of dropping after the first half’s good work was all but undone. 

That didn’t happen and it was Norsemen who after holding their own for the second half were pressing for the equalizer late in the match. The last 15 mins was played 3 4 3 and showed the type of spirit and play that totally belies Norsemen’s current table position. 

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to take points from this match as Garchonians held on for all 3 points but heading into the new year Norsemen must begin to have the belief they can get results from this league to pull themselves out of trouble.

This is the reason why I am a huge fan of Norsemen, you can definitely see how passionate they are with their game. Of course, there were dark days wherein they wouldn't the game but most of the time, they bag several awards! Their head to head battle against Old Garchonians was truly a challenge for them because everything wasn't easy. I can feel that they have struggled to clinch the trophy, but the good thing is they got it!
