We started at 09:41.  It was 14 of us.    We played on a medium-sized goals on a good virgin grass.

At the height of their domination WHITES were ahead 5:2 and 6:3, with Max scoring 3 perfect long-distance “gifts”.

Game lasted till 10:17, when girls took over the field.   At this moment the score was 6:6 and we had 8 on 8 teams (Vadim L. and Oleg joined late)

It took 5 minutes to decide what to do next.  At 10:21 we begin on a new remote field.  This time it was a huge real-sized goals and large and wide field.

Luck switched back and forth.  DARKS were ahead 6:7, WHITEs dominated 9:7.

For 10 minutes it was completely hopeless for WHITEs.   The score was 10:11 for DARKS, and Kevin had to leave.

From 10:50 till 11:00 WHITEs played one down, and only allowed one goal (10:12).  Then Zhenia A. got injured, and Hayk switched for WHITEs.  That gave a new surge of energy.  Now WHITEs organized and jumped ahead 15:13 (at 11:14AM).

With only few more minutes left to play, it is amazing what Sasha L. had accomplished.  Not one, not 2, but 3 (THREE) goal to get a victory at a last moment.

Game stopped with that last desperate goal at 11:22.  Very nice!

Now, let’s look at the wonders of statistics.

First, notice the top scorers: Sasha L. and Vova M.

Next, pay attention to change of the leadership at the top, and amazing consistency at the bottom.

If only we have a game tomorrow, I wish to play the same team with Lyonya G. to prove the statistics is wrong.
