Round 4 - Seccer’s failed viral attack on Server Racks

Seccer’s viral attack on Server Racks (aka ACT over 40s rep team) failed to muster a win, with the boys escaping with a 4-4 draw after bombing numerous opportunities with poor finishing.

Seccers were inspired by infamous chick soccer player, University of New Mexico’s defender Elizabeth Lambert, who’s hair-pulling, kicking and punching antics made her famous world wide earlier in the week via the viral phenomenon of the internet.



But instead of one player taking on the whole team, the whole Seccers team targeted one man, the verbally annoying Maradona/Oompa-Loompa look-a-like Alex. After whining constantly that he was being man handled, Seccers took it upon themselves to knock him around with elbows, knees, shoulders and subtly placed bitch slaps. In fact he pretty much got thrown around like the little dwarf he is.

Unfortunately with these tactics, we took our eye off the ball again and continued to drop the pill on the first tackle and let in easy touchdowns with our wingers and links sucked in despite the many ‘drink bottle’ presentations and explanations. In fact one mistake at the roll ball was quite comical as Grimmo trod on the ball and nearly blew 2 years of rehabilitation on his knee.

Missing of course was the defence of JJBuckman, whose absence really demonstrated his worth.
As for the game itself, we were always chasing our tails when the Racks scored first. Whenever we levelled the scores, Racks managed another soft try. The score was 2-2 at half time and approaching the last 5 minutes we found ourselves 4-3 down.

The game was nearly won and blown when JJsoulman seemingly had Burkieman over for a score, but the poor pass bounced of Burkieman’s hulking chest right into the arms of the skinniest man on the field who raced away for an intercept. Don’t we have trouble with the whippet type players? A fantastic chase embroiled and the sinewy legged fellow was caught as he burnt up the remainder of his modest calves. My informant tells me it was the flying Sykesy who chased him down, which bizarrely looked like a mechanical rabbit chasing a greyhound instead of the other way round.

Another TD went begging when Tunksman only had to put the ball down to score, but hell it’s a long way for the ball to get down from that height. And Tunksman subsequently dropped the pill.

Thankfully Burkieman finally earned his recall to the team with a nice bit of razzle dazzle to equalise with seconds remaining.

Only one injury concern was to Rupes who chicken winged himself setting up a touchdown late in the first half.

The ladder sees us out of the top 4 on for/against. Saiyans 12, Freeballers 10, Wii 9 (+7), Racks 9 (+1), Seccers 9 (-6), ACT 21s 7, Omni’s 7, Smokin 6 and Tigers 4.

In: JJSoulman, Xman, Burkieman, Rupesman, Grimman, Tunksman, Haydosman, Sykesman, Scollsman, Seagullman
