“Their” match report:
Peckham Rye FC (Lee, Gareth, Pete, Calum, Joe, Kevin) Vs The Estate Agents
The weather was looking so bad when I set off I nearly didn’t bother. Luckily it had cleared up by the time I’d arrived. Unfortunately everybody else must have been thinking the same thing. With a grand total of three players (thanks Pete and Lee) it didn’t look like we were going to get a game. Just as we were about to give up and leave, Joe turned up with 2 mates (Calum and Kevin), all we need was the Estate agents to turn up and it was game on. And turn up they did. They give us an another player but we were still a man down. I didn’t matter we had the quality to make up for it. We didn’t let them play and pressured them from the front. Joe forced their defense into making a loose pass I picked up the ball and tucked it away to start us off. I then hit a beauty towards the top corner it bounced back off the angle and Pete buried it 2 – 0. The Estate agents hit back with a goal from JP but Calum then skipped past half their team and neatly rolled it in to restore the 2 goal gap. 3 – 1 half time.
Second half was a little tighter they lost the extra men which strangely seemed to make them play better. I broke down the wing hit a cross that was deflected in 4 – 1. They hit straight back with another goal(JP again). Then came the goal of the game Kevin played the ball across the back to Lee, Lee played an nice ball down the line to Pete, Pete looked up and played a pass into me on the edge of the box, I saw Calum breaking through and played a back heal into his path which he finished to aplomb. 5 – 2 Fabio are you watching. Calum then went on another Maradona style run he went right into the heart of their defense and wrapped up his hat-trick in style. The Agents got a late consolation but the job was done.
Final Score – 6 – 4
Man of the Match – Calum for a great all round performance.
