Wet Wednesday - Premier League Men's Hockey - AHC 2 SEAC 1

Premier League Men's Hockey

Round 10
Seacliff leading the ladder unbeaten met Adelaide on a wet Wednesday evening at Adelaide University ground West Beach.
Adelaide scored the first goal and retained the lead into the second half when Seacliff scored the equaliser.
With minutes to go it appeared a shootout may be required to decide the game.
A penalty stroke awarded to Adelaide and the subsequent goal scored by Huey Purvis (capt) decided the game.
My editing of the frames did not pick up the barely visible, but now cropped out, ball placement in the bottom right corner of the net but shows the rebound out from the net.
A great team effort from all the players against a competitive opposition in the rain.

On a wet Sunday afternoon.My glasses and viewfinder splattered with rain,
the camera searching to focus in the low visibility and flattened view.
The rain does that, distance becomes indiscernible, a fog.
I focus manually hardly successful, try for the impossible.
What can one make out of a burnt cake...(thought bubble) - cut off the outer layers.
Yes.... a GIF!

to a shootout, the score 1 - 2.

Excuse the artistic licence.
I think I have been reading too much of the Robert Cappa D Day and resultant
aftermath drama.

Stormy weather - Adelaide - South Australia - Monday 9 May 2016

Photographs taken at Semaphore Beach
The tide had not yet reached its peak which came some hours later.
The combination of a king tide driven by gale force winds
caused flooding in beach areas around the state, the perfect storm.
