Northern Indoors. "Phat'Eds and Chevron I in sudden death quarter finals". > Mmmm - this sounds interesting... any more details on that story? > > Well, Si actually knows the full story already, and I suspect he is just fishing for people's views. So, here is what happened: Phat'Eds go 2-0 up at the start of the game, and Chevron spend the rest of the time battling to get back to level the scores, not without much difficulty. Time is running out, and Phat'Eds have the disc with 10 seconds left. I am marking the guy with the disk. I stall him out, but he throws it just as I have said 'Eight'. The disk is caught (quite spectacularly) in the zone by a Phat'Ed (can't remember his name, but it was a fab catch, with Harry Golby breathing right down his neck). The hooter goes immediately after this catch, and the Phat'Eds go mad, Chevron look crushed, with the game apparently over. Thing is, I'd called a stall out, but cos I was losing my voice, noone had heard it. And so, I had to call it back. We got the disc, and scored. Not the best way to win a game, but that's what happened. It was all far too close for comfort! Once again, sorry to the Phat'Eds for the way the game ended, and hopefully we will get a good re-match at the finals. Andy C Chevron
