Red: Oz, Richard P, Tufan, Steve, Chris, Prit
Yellow: Bruno, Kevin, Daniel, Liam, Matt, Jim
Sketchy memory as I’ve left this a bit long before writing the report but a few jotted down notes in one of my many notebooks tell the story. I’ll try to embellish them a little.
6-a-side. Chris and Prit from the hairdressers joined us for this bank holiday game. Chris volleyed in from a corner. Bruno got a few tap-ins. Liam fell over and tried to foul Richard P in the process. Red regularly fired wide. Richard P fired one in high at the near post. A long ball arrived at Jim and Oz coming out of goal. Jim took a nice touch to take it past him and then fire into the empty net. Daniel in defence saw a large gap in front of him. None of his team mates wanted to fill it so he passed, ran into it, received the ball back and ran forward right down the middle and toe-poked in from the edge of the area. Matt shot and it went out for a throw. In his own half!! Bruno controlled a high pass with his chest. He stopped and looked down with disdain. Mud on his Brazilian shirt. Hilarious. Clearly they have no mud in Brazil and stay on their feet.
My apologies that this report is rather meagre (poor embellishing) which certainly doesn’t reflect the quality of this great, close game.
Final score: Yellow 8 – 6 Red
