Totaal Slump

Totaalvoetbal endured a frustrating week as games against Flare United and AFC Stanley yielded a total of just one point.

A trip to Flare proved a tough encounter as the home side decided on a no-holds barred style which immediately saw Marino van Buren go off with a nasty injury. Ernie Ormondroyd made things worse for Totaal on 39 minutes with a trademark free-kick to put the hosts 1-0 up. The visitors would take a long while to get going but created a couple of late opportunities. From one of those Zlatan Izuhimovic would finish confidently to rescue a point for the Oranje to the delight of the visiting fans.

Totaal would return home on Friday for a 1st versus 2nd match against old friends AFC Stanley for what would turn out to be one of those games for the hosts. They would create the majority of chances throughout the 90 minutes but a Garry Molseley goal on 25 minutes would ensure they would finish the game on the wrong end of the score-line.

Robin Meeblind was philosophical after the game:
“The game can go that way from time to time. We haven’t done too much wrong apart from our finishing. However, it is fair to say we have enjoyed luck go our way so far this season so maybe this was due. Markham deserves his win and it looks like the division is setting up nicely now.”
