The New Melee

Well well well, it has been such a long time since I posted anything on here - 4 years to be exact!

For all of those interested the next generation of the Melee team have gone back to where it all it began and signed up to a Pitch Invasion league in London. Melee are currently sitting 4th in Division 1 - link http://www.pitch-invasion.com/players/results-and-fixtures/league-table

Tonight's game saw the start of a new Melee with a team line up containing some old members - Kev, Justyn and Chris O'Neill and some new Chris Pilsbury and Selwan Al-Amin (player profiles to follow in posts at some point soon). The game was probably the best performance in the Portuguese strip which resulted in a 6-1 demolishon of The Punishers.

The game started very tightly with some quick passing from both sides but Melee broke the deadlock with some little one-two triangles. The opposition hit back with numerous chances but all kept out by the super keeper Justyn on the night. Another goal followed in the first half and Melee took a 2-0 lead into the second half.

in the second half Melee started to bully the opposition with superior strength and guile. More beautiful passing from Chris P, one two's and some lovely finishing made the score jump to 5-0 and Justyn finished it off with a lovely sweeping move with Chris O providing the clinical final pass.

Superb team effort and high work rate especially from Selwan proved to make this the best performance in 10 games. only a late consolation goal was the only negative even though the game ended really heated as the opposition couldn't handle the majestic performance that Melee put on them.

A great start with the new team, with other players to come back in and some new players to start, Melee are definitely heading in the right direction.

Goals (I think) :
Kev 2
O'Neill 2
Pils 1
Justyn 1

Well done lads. But pure melee is about the internal bickering as well. If you need any pointers ask justyn.
