At last! 'Olympic Paul' (see last week's match report here) had found an opposition that would challenge his Olympian skills. By 'opposition', what we actually mean here is the singular - March's number 7. Recently relegated to March 2s from Premier B, he was angry and had the skills to boot.

We chuckled to ourselves on hearing the news that a Premiership player was in our midsts.........we had Paul - Mr Olympian! Quickly asking around, we established that Olympic standard is higher than that of Premiership, surely?

How wrong we were! Turns out Premiership makes any Olympic player look like a short-sighted, slightly grey-haired middle-aged man, taking hockey too seriously for the level they are playing at in Div 5NW on a Saturday afternoon. Who would have thought?!

70 minutes of 11 v 1 commenced, with South having to stack four or five people behind the ball whenever number 7 received it (he still managed to score all four March goals). Nonetheless, a very good game which ended up being very tight.

Learning Conclusions:

• The M3s wouldn't cope in Premier B
• 'Olympic' Paul is more 'Div 5NW' Paul
• Jan's skills with a knife are dubious
• Rasmus is a wanabee M2s
• Umpire the M3s at your peril
