Pennant Prelim Final at Thornleigh vs Mac 01
3-2 win vs AS (250)
Another tense night going down to the wire. I played 3rd with our sub JH on first going down 1-3 and then Stan playing his best match of the season winning 3-0 to put us slightly ahead.
As expected AS started like a bull chopping me with drops and boasts from everywhere and the first game was over before I knew it 7-15. Got a much needed blowtorch from Stan in the break telling me I was standing waaay too far back from the T. Literally stepped up in the tense second game and was able to retrieve more of his front attacks and managed to squeeze it 15-13. AS kept going for his shots in the 3rd game and most of them came off 11-15. 4th game was the critical one, being down by a couple of points but I could sense he was tiring just kept hustling everything and counter dropping & lobbing well to take it 15-12. 5th game he was gone physically but I kept the foot down the whole way for 15-5 knowing every point conceded might count.
Captain Matt lost to JZ in the last rubber 3-1 but in winning the first game and not leaking too many points in the next 3 he clinched the night by a 9 point countback.
Relieved to scrape through to the Grand Final doing it the tough way with the bonus of our no.1 unsquashable back for it next week!

Tune up games with Mark and Stan. Blister sore but hopeful with more healing time, padding, tape & adrenalin it shouldn't be an issue for the final on Thursday.
