United, who were without coaches Holla and Butch - as well as several of their first team, went to Tyndall in search of their third successive win in the VISL Division 2. Unfortunately a 1-1 draw was all they could muster, while still maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.
The match started at a frenetic pace as Gordon Head pressed United all over the park. The Blues were without any points thus far, and had six call-ups for the match. And it looked like the youthful exuberance of the call-ups caused United difficulties.
United did attempt to play the ball on the turf however the pressing game of the Blues halted any type of tempo from being established. United center mids Jeff "Pizzaz" Lenton and Mani "Not Actually Currency" Bains were kept busy as every ounce of fitness was squeezed out of them by the fit Blues call-ups.
Mid-way through the first half, some United personnel were duped into believing that Coach Holla was present at the field after some excellent trash talking from a nearby bush. The truth of those calls may never be revealed.
United got their goal through Bains as he shot hard from an acute angle to punish Gordon Head for some sloppy defending.
Bains....Mani Bains - License to Score
It wasn't to be United's evening though as the Blues equalized.
Late on, Bibo "Gay Apple Junior" Bissendon had an excellent chance to score the winner when the Blues' keeper gifted him the ball about 20 yards out. Bibo unfortunately could not take the chance with the open net staring him down and in the end, a tie seemed a fair result.
In other scores, Blazers were beat 4-1 by Gorge keeping the top of the league within touching distance.
Next week, there is another visit to Tyndall as United take on Gordon Head Blazers.
