Mavs Hit 5 again !

24th November 2010

It is unusual to witness sporting performances of such high standards at such regularity, however, being on the road with the Mavericks the expectations are always that there will be the standard 3 points in the bag.  Today was no different, 12 players only strengthened the chance of the Surrey Swordfish getting caught, gutted and served up on a dominos pizza base ready for Mango to speed down the wing and deliver on time....

Mango was a man on a mission and after opening the scoring turned into a 3 year old intend on spending the remaining 80 minutes on the naughty step, he managed to stay off it for long enough to help the Mavs to a healthy 4-0 lead at half time.  Goals from Ben Young 2 and Steave Earle helped kill the game off before the Swordfish had time to escape Mango and his extra large fishing net. 

The Second half was a lame affair which only picked up when Steve Earle smashed in his second to get the Mavericks up to 5 for the second week running.  Time was running out when Sam was up ended landing on his head and knocking himself out, he reassured the Mavericks extensive medical team that he was ok but then asked how the incident had happened every 2 minutes.  It is unclear if concussion was the reason or if he really was limited in the brain department and just kept forgetting the answer. 

5-0 was a fair result and having checked out the bar faciliites the Mavericks embarked on a journey which could have been introduced at Chessington World of Adventures. Swerving, jumping and careering across all three lanes Costas moved his bus like a man on a mission and that man certainly did not have a licence to drive on UK roads.....  At one point Costas slammed the brakes on so hard that that 4 Milkey Whipp bars embedded themselves in the windscreen.

Go the Mavs!
