Honors even at Staff/Parent v School Soccer Match

They came to play! They came to win! Both teams put all that they had in to this popular event which saw a dramatic last gasp equalizer by Hudson, saving the blushes of a school team that has got used to success this season! Little did the students know, that before the game, the S/P team were busy preparing their secret plan, and what a plan it was too....Operation Launch Mr. Blakeley! Early in to the first half, Mr Blakeley struck with a fine angled shot in to the corner of the net. He wasn't finished there as he continued to threaten the school defense with his dynamic speed and clinical finishing. This goal equalised a fine effort by Hudson who blasted past a bewildered Linda Bhangdia in goal. Linda by the way was playing very well at this time! 1-1 and all to play for. The S/P defense were doing a fine job. Marshalled by the ever athletic Mrs Bettigole, Ms Roberts, Ms Schoch and Mrs Hathaway were giving nothing away and Ms Ackers was running her socks off in midfield! Mark Kuras was also doing a fine job up front keeping the school team on their toes. Before long, the school team were in the lead after Griffin found himself free in the box and hit the ball hard into the net. Game on!! At last all Mark Kuras's work paid off and with the energetic running of Margaret Colangelo to assist him, he drove the ball beautifully into the net from short range. This seemed to spur Mr. Blakely on and taking a crisp pass from midfield, he crashed a hammer shot into the roof of the net. This lead to a frantic last few minutes which eventually saw Hudson's equalizer and second goal of the game, scream past the outstretched hands of Mrs Yager! A 3-3 tie and a good game was had by all!
