Us: Oz, Tufan, Eddie, Kevin, Daniel, John
Them: Chris, Prit, Femi, Mani, Joel, Alan
A nice 6-a-side for the start of the Autumn. A gentle rise in numbers but not enough from each to play alone so another head-to-head. And what a tasty humdinger. Chris got us started with a low daisy cutter that Daniel should have used his hands for rather than his feet. Oz got an unfortunate own goal with them putting on pressure close to the goal. 2-1 at half time. They’d been far more efficient with their passing but we’d had the majority of shots. And our work rate was questioned during the half time chat, although John preferrred to recount a cornish skinny-dipping tale. Within ten minutes of the restart, Yellow were 4-1 down, including another low drive from Chris. This wasn’t right! Yellow then decided to finally act on their passing efficiency and work rate and took control….4-2….4-3….4-4….4-5….4-6….4-7…..4-8!!!!!! An amazing twist of fortune. Good defensive running back from everyone, shots from everyone, assists from everyone and no goals from Oz, Kevin, or Daniel meant that Eddie, John and Tufan were suddenly a ruthless attacking menage-a-trois. Alan got a late consolation but the comeback was complete.
Final score: Them 5 – 8 Us
