2 weeks, 4 games, 4 losses.
With the return of Bodie and Sam, plus the addition of Amy, DOOM were back in business and ready to play some good hockey after a few weeks off. Unfortunately in that time we've forgotten how to play some good hockey.
Last fortnight DOOM travelled to the Shark Tank to play since the DOOM DOME was rained out, first game against the Mindarie Moltovs. Tight and gritty gameplay ensued, Molotovs' Benson making quick work of our sloppy defence (despite his tight pants handicap). DOOM losing out 10 to 6.
After a break DOOM took on their old rivals the Churchlands Hellraisers. The fresh yet undermanned Hellraisers were simply too quick for us, skating around us, their Spanks Running Club training sure coming in handy. Goals were aplenty but Hellraisers got the win 15 to 9.
A week later DOOM were faced with 2 morning games at the DOOM DOME with the first at an ungodly hour of 9:30am against the Claremont Cereal Killahs. The Cereal Killahs, clearly masters of the AM got a jump on our sleepy defence with a couple of quick goals. DOOM weren't able to close the gap, losing 9 to 7.
Next up were the Como Moco + some godly ringer. Having finally woken up DOOM upped their game, bringing back some of their trademark magic, but it wasn't enough as the Moco had the edge all game, beating us 11 to 7 in a really fun game.
Sad times for DOOM, but hockey is hockey and it's still fun!
