Cirrus Logic Builds Super Robot Goalie To Keep Honey Badgers At Bay In 1-1 Onion Creek Draw
Wearing their brand new USA BADGER kit for the first time, Cameron Road brought home the groceries, but couldn’t put the finishing touches on the meal at they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Cirrus Logic. With the tents tactically nestled on the tree line of field 10, the Honey Badgers had two subs available for this scorcher of a game set for high noon. They were missing a good chunk of creativity as BT, Ryan and McKenna were all out, but Ben was feeling it as he decided to play up top as the lone striker for his 45 minutes of availability.
The game started off well for Cameron Road as they controlled the opening 25 minutes. With Jay moonlighting in Dallas, Danimal slid into goal with a back line of Billy, Dave, Andy and Jefe in front of him and wasn’t troubled for much of the afternoon.
The Honey Badgers pressed high, and had several good opportunities to score as they turned up the heat on Cirrus Logic. Adam took a shot running down the left flank, and Peterson got himself past the last defender with a nice attempt at goal himself.
But it was the man of the half, Ben, who finally opened his Cameron Road account with a silky set of dribbles and a low, driving shot from close range that beat the keeper to the far post. Ciro set up this Jade Spear play by threading a great ball into Ben.
1-0 Cameron Road at the half.
With Ben done for the day, Cameron Road was down to just one sub for the final 45 minutes. A tough task for sure with the sun blazing overhead.
The Cirrus Logic Robot Keeper made his first great save of the day as he got a metallic fingertip on Chappy’s back headed lob that was headed to the back of the net. The captain looked on in horror as his sure goal flew backwards towards Dave’s tree.
The Honey Badgers continued to press the issue, but Cirrus Logic was also starting to get more into the flow of the game. Adam again charged down the left flank but was left wondering just what he has to do to score. He’s getting close though, and is a 7/5 bet to nab one before the season ends.
The Honey Badgers let Cirrus Logic back into the game off a corner kick as they powered in a header at the back post to make a game of it. 1-1 with 30 minutes to go.
Travis ramped up the heat but kept his Punter temper in check (until later in the game of course when the red mist descended up on him in the form of a leap-frog yellow card), and started winning balls alongside his Honey Badger midfield brothers.
As Peterson ran down a ball on the right and delivered one of his special crosses to the box, the Robot Cirrus Logic Keeper made his second fantastic save of the day as he got an outstretched metallic grabber on the end of Chappy’s powerful header. Chappy again though he had a surefire goal on the books but was robbed by the diabolical machine that was probably being controlled by a drone flying high above.
With the game on the line, things heated up and Dermot was involved in a sending off. Now, I know what your’e thinking, but you’re wrong, because this time our poor, saintly Dermot was the victim of a dastardly arm bar to the throat by a Cirrus Logic player. Down to 10 men, they were going to struggle to see out the game.
The Honey Badgers pressed the issue and pushed forward in attack. Dave actually came close as his tap danced into the box and let loose a curling shot that went just over the bar. A great run of play for someone who doesn’t get forward into scoring positions that often.
Cameron Road wasn’t able to put that final nail in the coffin to get the win, but their dominance and control for the majority of the game was a positive sign as they got back on the positive side of the scoreline and settled for a 1-1 draw.
But as the game ended, the Honey Badgers settled down in the tent to feast upon the POST GAME festivities with Clark Field brothers in claws Dragons, as they battled Manchester City. Hoping to see something worth cheering for, those in attendance were treated to a 6 goal explosion from Mr. Gun Show as he singlehandedly dismantled the Dragons to score an astonishing first half AND second half hat trick. Impressive, but it just drives home the point that the Honey Badger defense has been playing lights out this summer as they didn’t allow him a sniff on goal when they faced him.
Man of the Match: With only 45 minutes to earn his substantial paycheck, Ben dropped the bomb on Cirrus Logic with his first half goal.
Man of the Post Match: Adam, the silent assassin of the full field race.
Man of the Pre Match: Danimal. For suiting up to play keeper, but more importantly for bestowing upon his captain a fantastic new pair of faux-wood shades. Take note everyone.
