"And now you must believe me, we never lose our dreams"
An unlucky defeat for Khazboss as the conference welcomed new team The Hoops. Khazboss started with a poorly chose first V who did not seem to know where they were playing, although it took a wicked deflection off the referee which caught everyone by surprise except a Hoops striker to give the first goal. A second goal, which was clearly taken from within the area but given to the surprise of even the Hoops players, seemed to give the Hoops the ascendancy. But Khazboss began to settle with and unusual formation of the strikers defending more and the defenders attacking more. For this reason Khazboss didn't score and when Scott put a howler of an own goal in his own net, the game looked like the Hoops for the taking. Enter Khazboss' alter ego; Khazboss the attackers. From 4-1 down Khazboss camped in the Hoops half and pounded the goal for most of the second half. They had the same fire in their bellies as the last game and gradually brought the score back to 5-5. A good goal by the Hoops in their only break of the second half gave them the lead but Khazboss resumed their merciless assault on the Hoops goal. Unfortunaltely, the Hoops keeper stood strong and with help from the post and crossbar, withstood the barrage of shots to win the match

Verdict:
A poor start with some bad luck thrown in, however, with the defence going forward too much, the strikers were forced to cover at the back. This may have cost Khazboss the goals that they deserved
