OK so it was pretty pointless


Match Report BM V gentofte
BM 3 Gentofte 2

I'd love to report about a thrilling 5 set match with great play from both sides of the net.....but that clearly isn't the case. No team looked like they wanted this game at all. Dissapointing, but not entirely unpredictable. The first set started with Gentofte getting a 5 point run to take it to 5-2, then we had a 6 point run to take it ti 5-8. We managed to chalk out a 5-6 point lead only to be reeled back in by Gentofte, we somehow managed to make a few plays at the end of the set to take it.
Second set was one to forget Gentofte dominated proceedings to take the set rather easily.
Third set was the same as the second, just change the teams names around.
The 4th set was just like the 2nd, no real difference at all.
As it came to the decideing set we decided to shift up a gear (from neutral to first) and somehow get over the line. I don't think anybody from either team was even sweating after the match.
However the middles were solid for most of the match today, they werent helped an awful lot by the bad passing, but they were generally pretty consistent. Paw came on and did a pretty decent job as an outside, his ability to come of the bench to play both positions I'm sure is gonna be real valuable in the finals.
So lets hope for a much better show from both teams on Thursday and Sunday.
