Yellow (4): Kevin, Daniel, Richard N, James
Red: Jim M, Jim N, Oz, Ed, Paul
Yes indeedy, after spending 73 weeks on the injury list Paul returns for his first game since March 1st 2009. Yes, I know you’re impressed by that kind of information. The game started off, much like Paul, a little tentatively and while yellow pinged off a few early shots they only got on the scoresheet after Daniel missed a sitter but was quickest to react to the rebound and cheekily back-heeled the ball through Jim N’s legs. Said keeper came out and promptly equalised. Daniel then got a 5 minute hatrick amongst a flurry of goals for both teams – all the sixes. Jim N then decided to streak across the pitch in the style of a badly cordinated dancing clubber dressed as a roman emperor and yellow took advanage to score an easy goal and went in 8-6 up at the break. Red came out with a little more oompf and made the allegedly 20% fit extra man count with Paul finding his shooting boots to bury a handful of those shots you may well recall from yesteryear – tastier than Morrison’s half price sausages and with Oz popping up at some point to nicely head in a corner, they pulled away to lead 14-9. An attempted fightback by yellow got them to within three goals at 15-12 but they were thwarted by such things as James and Richard N tackling each other in front of their own goal and some random ladies cheering reds and heckling yellow from the cheap seats and they sank quickly in the final 10 minutes. A titanic victory for Red.
Final Score: Red 19-12 Yellow
