Asterix Reds 4 Astaka 1 (Friendly)

A good game to start the New Year with and some NY resolutions came true for some people and failed to materialise for others.
For one, Jonesy's NY resolution of scoring in every game got off to a good start as he pile drove a screamer into the bottom centre of the goal from 3.2 inches. However, for others their pissed up rants on NYE of how they were going to change this year failed miserably five days into 2009. Adam Scott for example, with his aim of wearing his tight training top for every minute spent in the company of fellow Reds players forgot to pack this most prized of his possessions. Anthony, with his aim of not getting 'penis of the week' ever again, got it in the first game of the NY, for his 19 minute/20 minute argument with his fellow protanganist in this debarcle, Andy Johnston. (A shared POW this week) Mark Williams, with his aim of not running around like a headless chicken, without actually achieving anything, unfortunately seems to be another likely scenerio in every game just as it was in 2008, 2007, 2006 etc.....................
However, a 4-1 win was a pretty good performance for a bunch of lads out of practice in the beautiful game for the past four weeks. Three of the goals coming from non-Reds players, with Michael O'Brien and Yogesh (2) getting the other three goals alongside the masterful Jonesy. In fact it was the new boy Yogesh who gets my big 'Man of the Match' award. A player we will hopefully see more of was pacey, found good positions on the field, and bagged a brace. Well done that man!
A special mention goes out to a man that hopefully has started off something that I would like to see more of in future games. To the man who brought the Skol to the post match drinks, I take my hat off. Next week, we are going to be drinking Anchor, and the week after that Special Brew.
