Red: James, Richard, Jack, Tufan, Daniel, John
Yellow: Colin, Paul, Oz, Ahmet, Jim, JP
So a month later I decide to transcribe the events noted down in a draft text:
“Jack chest; defending toomfoolery; 5-1, 5-3, 6-3; Gerald tease; Paul distract; 1st game since June 23rd; JP bet.”
My interpretation: Paul arrived late after failing to get Glastonbury tickets. He was wearing a Yellow top while getting ready AND chatted to the Red keeper which clearly caused a distraction and Yellow popped in the first. Controversial. Jack was the main defensive lynchpin for Red and perfectly chested down a cross intended for the advancing striker, so perfect that it fell right into the path of the striker to fire home. These moments and other defensive tomfoolery meant that Red got up to a 5-1 lead. Yellow got a couple in return but Red finished it off. “Gerald tease”? I can’t recall what this refers to but I do remember that I came up with some analogy to skills he learnt at the Penge transvestite burlesque night at his local last year. However, no one will read this anyway so I’ll use it next time the opportunity arises. It was the first game amongst ourselves since June 23rd. And JP’s now turned up to 1 game in his target to reach 7 by Christmas.
Final score: Yellow 6 – 3 Red
