Them: Pete, Prit, Larry, Phil, Alan, Chris, Femi, Jack, Dan
Us: Chris, Kevin, Keith, Jim, Ahmet, Daniel, Matt, John, Ray?
In no particular order….Alan stole in behind his marker but struck just wide; Prit put in a nice cross for their Dan who, with most of the goal gaping two yards away, aimed his shot back across the goal into Keith’s grateful hands. Our Daniel slid in with a great block to deny Alan. Defensive moment of the game? No – Matt surpassed it by getting nicking the ball off Prit just as his foot was about to strike the ball. Kevin got a clearance in the face from a fellow defender. Their Jack went off at half time injured and Phil pulled a hamstring so spent most the game in goal. After a great game of passing last week, it was back to it’s usual dodgyness. Our Daniel’s throw slipped out of hands and landed two metres in front of him – worst throw ever? Their Chris got frustrated. Their Dan bundled in a goal after a cross from Femi who may have been offside when receiving the pass. Was offside being given or not? The memo certainly didn’t reach everyone. There were several free kicks and Yellow had one after a handball just outside the area; Ahmet stepped up and fired his shot straight down the middle and in. Jim headed in from a cross. Impressive skill but sadly into his own goal. Our Daniel took possession of the loose ball from a corner, sprinted up the wing and a put in a tasty cross…handball? Who knows. It wasn’t given but he put in a second cross shortly after to our Chris at the back post. Pete got up to head in instead, wrong footing the keeper. Once again, impressive skill but also into his own net and depriving Chris of his first goal for PCFC. Romanian Ray (was that his name?) was quite good and twice looked to have put Yellow in front but the concept of studs had eluded him and glory did the same. Put all these moments in the right order and what do you get?
Final score: Us 2 – 2 Them
