In an amazing swing in momentum the Capital 8 season finished with a whimper only one game after being the most exciting season on record. The problem was that six weeks separated the last two official games, causing a general overall lack of enthusiasm. The once bright healthy looking carrot of promotion was moved out of reach after the second round of games were rendered void and the Skins moved from one point outside promotion to midtable obscurity after one outrageous call by Capital Soccer. In the end we only had three games not played and surely it would've made more sense to double the last three results from the first round, rather than having results of played matches scrapped. This left the last game a friendly and made the Marist Skins wonder what might have been with several results over top teams considered a waste of time.
The final match was a friendly against Lower Hutt. It is difficult to get a realistic reflection of the match. We changed both our formation and positions, but who is to say that Lower Hutt didn't too? They beat us 2-1, but since the result didn't count, there was not a heck of a lot to get out of this one for anyone. We had an official referee for a change and Jimmy broke his duck finally with a nice shot. Apart from that, it was hardly an epic.
Time is quickly running out for the Skins long term plans of Central League in 2019!
