The Mavericks blow the storm out the cup

Febuary 2011

To play the Mavericks on an average day is difficult enough, unfortunately, every now and then the master class is too much for even the most well equipped side.  The Mavericks had to do with the out the services of keeper Ibrahim as he had a prior engagement with his PART TIME employer 'Slow Futures' a trading name of 'No futures' as well as this the potential Hall of Famer  Luke Rutherford was bike riding somewhere in the woods.  Rutherford has been captured enjoying himself on game day, infuriating team members who have called for him to be axed from the side.

Anyway on to the game, The Mavs changed their forward line formation to go with the old school big man-small man pairing to add some spice, in the process they handed Michael Sandmann his debut.  In truth 'Quicksand' (named after his legendary turn of pace) has been a constant pest to Mavericks hierarchy in his desire to win his first cap, he looked delighted in the pre match photos with his strike partner 'Mad Mango'

  

The new partnership contributed 7 goals in the game and proved a constant threat, midfield 'Baby Maker' JH was the provider on many occasions and waddled on to the score sheet as the Mavericks rattled 8 past the storm to move into the next round. 

It could have been worse for the Storm but some wayward shooting, great saves and the woodwork stopped the Mavs from hitting double figures.  Ben Young is a serious doubt for the next fixture after showing his frustration at being withdrawn from the team just after half time,  he refused to leave the showers after the game in a show of protest.

  

The Mavs headed to the bar to enjoy the hospitality on offer and look at some really tall women, the skipper took it upon himself to introduce himself and his team.

Go the Mavs!
