Well, well, well... The end of this season didn't go as smoothly as I predicted. For some reason we ended up losing a lot of easy games towards the last few fixtures, but we still managed 5th place, which was just enough to make it to the playoffs. Unfortunately, that led us to the top team, Luton, which has been a bit of a pain to deal with before, was our first challenged for the second promotion spot. Last season, if you remember, they were the ones that eliminated us.
Well this season was different. After a cagy first game draw 2x2, we went to play away with Luton for the final. We changed to a 4-5-1 for this game and after 90 minutes we were still tied 1x1. I thought we would have to hold and prey for a penalty shoot-out. Hatch had other plans, and he scored a very opportunistic goal in the first period of OT, which put us in a very comfortable position. We just had to hold on to the score after that point. It was a really great game, and we are now off to the final.
