Thursday night clash against RockU would prove to be one of the big ones. Both teams mustered very strong sides and spectators witnessed lots of action.   Vikings fielded Drags - Birch, Henrik x 2 - Rahbek - Rafa - Crouch, Raven, Toenne, Giraf and on top Meli. A good mix of Sunday/Cosmo/Vets in the goodie bag.   After 15 mins of playing time Meli 1-2’d with Crouchy and gave vikings the lead. Strong midfield actions gave the feeling Vikings were generally on top just before the first goal, but RockU pushed back only 3 mins after the lead. Nice goal and little chance for Drags. And 10 mins later RockU scored and took lead. Rune, Erik and Franner got subbed in after 20 mins, Franner pulled a muscle or something and went back out within the course of 1.5 mins, Tomas took over. All subs used and 5 mins later RockU took the lead 1-2. Meli took a freekick and then it was 2-2 and in the dying minutes first half, Crouchy went long with a high pass from Tomas out dribling keeper and 3-2. Very entertaining and left a feeling that anything could really happen.   Vikings came out guns blazing after the break. Giraf somehow managed to chip pass through the defense maybe deflected by a player or two to where Crouchy stood close to goal and boom 4-2 Vikings. Wierd goal but they all count. Again RockU manage to score super fast after freekick deflected and shot on goal, 4-3. A lot of tackles were put in from both sides and a handful of yellow cards were given already in first half. With free run pass to Meli left a RockU player with choice to foul or not to foul. The first option was chosen and Meli taken down from behind, Red card for RockU.   With 10 players left and pressured to go on the offense, RockU were vulnerable in the back and lots of counters for the Vikings to work with. Meli got another free run for 5-3. Another red card was given last minutes of the game to RockU. At that time it was all over anyway. Vikings took a 5-3 win against RockU - a very decent win against a tough team. We look forward to the next. We’ll pack double shin pads though :-)   Mom: Crouchy   /Coach  

First lost of the season. Badly played . Will definitely bounce back stronger next game. Can't wait to play them again .
