Lady Luck screwed us!

Yesterday was one of the unluckiest days in the history of Monash Gryphons.An away game against Kensington city- the team that's ranked second in the league.And we were on a high after a 4 game winning streak.We stated well but as i said lady luck screwed us.A simple lobbed ball by the opposition was carried over our keeper Alfred by the wind into the goal and it was 1-0 and the first half finished that way. We started the second half well and i think 20 mins into the second half a corner was handled by the opposition in the box and there it was;a penalty was awarded to r team.Mickey, the south african, stepped up to take the penalty and as he had scored a penalty in the previous game the team was confident. But may the keeper burn in hell for this but he stretched to the right and saved. A couple of minutes after that incident, our defenders were out numbered by the attackers on a counter attack and Alfred was caught out once again and it was 2-0. We started pressing for a goal again n a couple of mins later a pass from Vernon to Arthur was crossed in and guess who was there to receive it?Mickey tapped it in and it was 2-1 and it was game on for us. Rejuvinated by the goal we kept pressin for the equaliser.Approx. 3 mins from the end a ball cleared from the opposition box rolled towards the half line and Mark, our centre back, attempted a screamer from the half line and by the looks of it, it was destined to be in the back of the net but screw the keeper, he got his finger tips to the ball and the ball hit the post and out. The final whistle was blown and we were left wondering what would have been if Lady Luck would have been on our side. There goes our four game winning streak down the crapper and next week we start again away against Swinburne.
