The Mavericks hit the road in pursuit of another 3 points in their penultimate game of the season at the NESCOT Cowboys semi-derelict ground. As preparation goes the Mav's continued with their traditional last minute scramble for players, this time in search for a goalkeeper. Luckily enough the services of veteran gloveman Dan Cotton were called upon and as suspected he slipped into the Mavericks way of life with ease, eyebrows were raised however when he insisted on an individual warm up leaving his teammates with an untended net to smash balls at.
Thankfully DC wasn't called on during a first half which saw the Mavs race in to a 4-0 lead when Ashley Ward, Mighty Mango and skipper Hollywood (2) put the game to bed. The main talking points were kept for the second half when professional child management expert Ben Young was called in to provide some clarity of mind when angry youngster Patel dropped his dummy and exploded in to his customary rage.
At one point Luke Rutherford had to step in to ensure that Mango didn't get to use his pizza slicer which was concealed in his left shin pad after conceding a penalty. Three more goals in the second half from Mango and wayward striker Palmer (2) took the tally to 7 and meant that the two goals scored by the cowboys were insufficient to challenge.
