Reality Bites Impossible Dream (Ruud Awakening)

5-2 Loss to 'Leeds Utd'

Goals: pov (2)

Leaders: Alvin (25); Dylmah , Pov (12); Con (5); Mainland (4); Noid (3); Dave (2); Damo, Nesa, Ilia (1); Someguy (4)

The season ended early for the division 1 runners up when they lost 5-2 to Leeds Utd. Coming off a two game win streak, the Krew had hopes of making the semi finals but it turned out to be a rude awakening. Leeds will have the chance to take top honours as they finished in the top four. The Krew needed another 15 goal performance to mathematically in it. Fats made a guest appearance and showed flashes of brilliance.

Mainland started in goal, with Pov, Dylan, Noid and Con on the field. The Krew conceded two early goals to a combination of lax keeping and vulnerable defence. Pov was able to get two back but once Leeds scored the third goal the Krew never looked capable of winning. Mainland saved a penalty but was flat footed by the second.

The Krew will have two weeks break after a disastrous season where they have been short on players. The first insult came when Mainland was unavailable for five games, during that time Damo was lost to injury and Noid was unable to keep through a thumb injury. Nesa and Jimmy were both stray cats as it was difficult to determine when they would play.

On a more positive note, Con joined the team late into the middle of the season where he scored 5 goals in 9 games. Whilst, Mainland vastly improved his keeper skills to be able to deputise full time. It is hoped that when the next season starts, both Noid and Damo would be fit to play. The Krew are looking to replace Alvin's lost time with Dixon.
