Centrals 15.9(99) def. by Glenelg 15.17(107) - TRIAL

The above scoreline is not a mis-print. Glenelg managed to win its first game against Centrals since Round 15 in 1999. Pity for them it was only a trial match and it doesn't count. Centrals' record winning streak of 13 games against Glenelg remains unbroken. :)

The game was error-ridden on both sides. But for the Doggies, they were mostly the kind of errors you make in a trial when you're Reigning Premiers and you think your opposition is crap. Players were far too casual in defence.

And for those who have been confused by the conflicting stories on the CDFC guestbook, I can confirm that Luke McCabe played today wearing #8. McCabe is a real person and he is playing for Centrals. For those with a keen eye, McCabe is pictured in the huddle below. I'll give you a clue - it looks like Jason MacKenzie is checking out McCabe's backside. But enough about McCabe, because frankly he did stuff all. ;)

Most audible onfield comment was from J.Gowans to C.Gowans after Chris kicked a point: "GIVE IT TO SLADE FUCK YA! CHRIS!". There's a lot to be said for brotherly love.

This was only slightly more audible than the Glenelg player (Luke Panozzo #8) who swore at some children because the ball didn't come back over the fence quickly enough. This gentleman also drew attention to himself as some spectators felt his hygiene standards were not up-to-scratch. The full-back was met with a chant of "DON'T PICK YOUR NOSE-O, PANOZZO!", everytime he kicked the ball back into play.

But my personal favourite was the antics of Glenelg's Paul Allison #6 who constantly antagonised James Gowans while they stood each other. Perhaps there's some sour grapes there from Allison's days with the Eagles? :) You've got to hand it to our Gowans boys - the amount of crap they cop from opposition players and spectators is phenomenal. Keep it up lads!
