Steam Vs Detica
Detica had lost one game previous to this match and that was a comprehensive hammering from a rampant Steam Lokomotiv. They obviously have something in their locker but they were unable to show it as they started the game with 4 men.
Given this disadvantage, the game was never really a contest and Steam ran out 11-3 winners. Rob, Ben and Andy stroked the ball around nicely capitalising on our extra man. Tim was quieter than normal which was generally viewed as a good thing. Chris was man of the match and was heard to be ruing his previous suspension and the effect it had on his quest for the golden boot. Steam finished second having beaten the winners twice and top scoring with 102 goals!
Mike Grey won the golden boot with 37 goals, unfortunately there is not an award for the least defending or he could have had a clean sweep.
After the game the team reminisced and celebrated in the Steam Engine. Ben having scored two goals made the best possible case for playing on pitch next season, he dropped his pint not once but twice, safe hands he is not!
The team come away with trophies for the second season running but a sense of disappointment that the league was lost in games we really should have won.
