A night of not quite true Nanna form. While we didn’t start all that well, going 3-0 rather quickly, it didn’t take too long before the Nanna’s pulled out a few of those tricky ‘oh my god how did that get through’ kind of goals that we are famous to get us back into winning hope.

By half time we had crawled back to 3 a piece. Luckily not to go down by anymore with our pitbull player Chassy playing with a strained groin or hammy or something. As we came off at half time Chassy let us know of his injury and, not wanting to let the team down, was willing to get back out there. Seeing as we already have 2 out to injury no one wanted to see Chassy take that risk but being down a player we grabbed funky Phil to come and have a run.

This put a new pace on things and Phil played a very generous and cruisy game. Weaving thru a few of the opposition and then passing across to a waiting Nanna to slot it in. Andy was one of those, with some fantastic running down the back side on more than one occasion, and I was a recipient of another.

One of the opposition then went out injured and Phil, being the sportsman he is, left the field also to make it an even 4 on 4. At this stage the Nanna’s kicked another goal and managed to stop anymore of theirs getting thru.

The oppositions 5th player came back on for a short while, as did Phil, but it was pretty much all over by then.

Nannas took it home with a 3 goal victory over the Allens not even allowing them to score in the second half.

After the match we went to celebrate in one of the coldest places in Melbourne. Some may say it was the most isolated bar on earth but actually it was just the furthest bar right at the arse end of the Docklands. Yes there was a point given for originality but for my money any place that has to have multiple 52” TVs hanging on its walls has already got something missing. It was a good try Hinkley but not good enough to topple the top.

Big thanks to 2 special Nanna’s that came to help with the move over the weekend. You know who are. Big kisses.
