AC's celebrity look-a-likes

In the heat of the moment.......wilt!

After a sub-par summer with unprecedented rainfall; it was only fitting that on the day of our fist match temperatures would reach 30 degrees and create an environment akin to Doha for the recent Asian Cup.

Not to be disheartened the boys had a positive attitude and were determined to show Hendy why he should have stayed in the black and red as he lined up for the opposition.

“It’s not about the result today lads, it’s about the way we play” said Dennis in his pre-match address. This was to be very prophetic given that AC weren’t at full strength with; a missing goalie, a suspect Coulter and Steve dicing on the edge of pneumonia during the week.

Under the watchful eye of the WAG’s and with sunscreen applied the first ball was kicked in anger. Early match form was promising with AC managing to play some of the best football seen at the club to date. The passing and movement was straight from the training field.

Ol’ Melba’s, who are in the lofty heights of division two, managed to sneak a goal in at the 26 minute mark, but unlike AC of old they were able to respond within two minutes when Fleming slotted home the first for the season. The defence stood resolute for the remainder of the half.

Ol Melba’s were able to rotate players at will with a spare team on the bench awaiting their chance to impress Coach Nelson. The heat and the weight of numbers started to take its toll on the boys in red and black despite some big efforts by all. You can only physically do so much in these conditions and up against two teams. Mid way through the second half OM’s managed to start piling on the goals and the result was then never in doubt.

The match was a good hit out despite both teams losing a player each to potential long term injuries. The positive is Coulter will now take on the coaching role for the next game against Moreland.

PRESS RELEASE - 7/3/11

EDDIE THE EAGLE HAS FLOWN THE COOP

AC Malvern today announced that it has agreed to terminate the recently sign contract of Eddie the Eagle.

Eddie regrets the decision, but has accepted an enticing contract elsewhere in Australia where he will teach kids to terrorise strikers as an imposing centre back.

Club officials said “Ed has provided a great spark during the training session. We will miss his already
imposing aerial presence during season 2011, but wish him the best on his new venture.”

Eddie now holds the record for the shortest playing contract with the club at two weeks.

Recruitment to fill the remaining positions in the squad continues via Gumtree
