Football - James

Today's game was going to be interesting from the start.  The Jets (bottom of the ladder) were playing Glen Waverley Rovers (top of the ladder).  The Jets had a new Coach and there was a feeling of renewal about the team.  They came out firing and had 7 points up before Glen Waverley scored.
Glen Waverley rallied and by half time had doubled the Jets score. 
The boys came off the ground grim faced but after the break, they came out firing on all cylinders.  It seemed to be all Jets as they out played and out scored the opposition.
Unfortunately the Jets fell short by 3 points at the final siren but to all the spectators they looked like winners with such a dramatic turn around from the first half and games of the past few weeks.  The boys would have liked a win but they sent a signal out today that they are back and ready to play.
As a post script, the opposition also saw the Jets as winners as they had clearly been expecting an easy win.  When most of the Jets had left the ground, the Glen Waverley Coach was still berating his players! He was not a happy (or wise) man.
