The Boomers were looking to build on their impressive start to the Capital 5 season but would have to beat a rugged and unforgiving Stokes Valley outfit. The team was weakened from the get go, with playmaker Zak Meyers out due to a bad sneeze he had earlier in the week, Ollie Carr and John the Huss Mortimer all out.
From the kickoff the Boomers were on the back foot with centre backs Jesse 'Chops' Halford and Jacob McSweeny being outnumbered and conceding early. Bruce picked up an early injury and was forced to go off. The Boomers struggled to keep possession and were constantly punished with strikes hitting the post and some coming very close. Goalkeeper Michael Candy had his wits about him and made some key saves. A good move between Dave Williams and Badger saw the not-for-much-longer hairy striker come excruciatingly close to heading in but for a good save from the Stokes keeper, Teddy-Jethro Brown. Jesse Strafford was being overburdened in midfield as Stokes played with two dangerous attacking midfielders who would fluctuate. A devastating combination that the Boomers never really got on top of. Coming to the end of the half Stokes doubled their lead with a header at the back post. Jacob McSweeny failed to track his man who was able to nod in at the back post.
The second half involved nothing but another jammy back post goal and one Stokes Valley player who had far too much testosterone. A sour 3-0 defeat for the Boomers and a lesson learnt.
Man of the match was given to Michael Candy to heal his wounds.
P.S The angry Stokes Valley player caused quite the controversy when he ran from the field at the final whistle, refusing to shake hands and was later caught masturbating furiously while drinking woodstock bourbon and cola in his lowered ute.
