Weather was atrocious, the worst conditions in the 3 years I have doing the commentary. The wind was strong enough to blow the laptops off the tables and my full bottle of drink down the steps. A lot has been said about the "comedy goal-keeping" that led to Cody's opener but in my opinion the ball bounced up and would have been collected easily but the wind blew it towards the goal leaving him stranded and Cody rushing past. Then later we saw the same end with the ball scooting out for a goal kick only to be blown back and kept in!
That was a tough game! The conditions dictated everything and had we come home 0-0 I would have been happy considering as these are the sorts of games where one freek goal ends it. Weston's second was all his own work passing to himself from the middle and rifling in off the far post from the left. 2-0 was a terrific score-line with the conditions and just what we needed to get ourselves back on track (especially as we haven't exactly excelled in front of the TV cameras lately)!
