Much needed break for Farse

Farsenal will use the Easter break to freshen up after its unexpected winless start to the 2007 campaign.
The new look Red’s sit in bottom place in the Monday night league with just two points to show for its first month of action.
Captain Sam Kelly believes his unsettled side just needs game time together.
"I know I’ve said it a hundred times, but we are still getting used to each other," he said prior to the Easter break.
"You take the Kevin Jackson and Andrew Lorimer out of any team and they are going to struggle," he said of the sides two most experienced defenders.
"We haven’t got our back line sorted out yet and we bled goals again last week."
Farsenal was embarrased in the first half last week as it conceded a staggering eight goals against the Swillers. But a tighter second half allowed it to leave with a respectable 9-6 scoreline.
There were better signs for the Red’s in the second half as it outscored its physical opponents 3-1.
Farsenal were lead by Tim Richardson’s first half hattrick, while Andrew Tucker bobbed up with two goals of his own in the second half, his hattrick only denied by the upright.
But goals have still been difficult to find for the usually free scoring Farse, who are yet to decide on its best combination up front.
Sam Kelly has been starved of opportunites, and has just the one goal from four games, while the Red’s desperately need the class of Richardson and David Janissen to hold up the defensive end.
Sean Murdoch, who has played up front and in defence, was unable to play on the field on Monday and the Farse missed his versatility. He sat in goals for the first half but retired to the bench for the second half as Justin Rea took up his usual spot between the sticks.
Farsenal will look for points when the league recommneces on the 16th of April.
They should be almost at full strength, despite the fact the game is in during the Universites two week lecture break. Tucker is thought to be the only player in doubt, while Murdoch should have recovered from his hamstring troubles.
