Red: Keith, Steve, Larry, Jack, Sundy, Daniel, Fabio
Yellow: Daniel, Phil, Stewart, Gareth, Nilo, Brian, Damon
Hot, sunny and firm. And what a game! Only one dodgy tackle and that was accidental with the perpetrator conceding it immediately. Even almost all the way in the first half with Red just edging ahead 2-1, the second coming from Sundy shooting down the centre straight at the keeper but Daniel (theirs) standing in the way and just getting a deft flick to divert it in. A difficult duo to contend with. And just before the break Red pumped in another. And it got worse as a fourth went in straight after the restart. But did Yellow give up? No sir-ree. Brian (in goal) made numerous saves as Red couldn’t take advantage of their chances but up the other end, one by one the goals slowly went in. And with five minutes to go Nilo released Daniel (ours) with a diagonal pass, he was through on goal but lacking in goal scoring confidence and with the keeper making himself big, he chose to cross to Gareth who after having shouted “shoot!” had slowed down and didn’t get the touch needed.
A fair end to a great game, counter-attacking football at it’s best.
Final score: Red 4 – 4 Yellow
