Report notes temporarily lost by El Capitano. Will update when/if found.
Latest update: The news is bad. The booklet containing the notes is now either nestled in landfill or being read by a bunch of builders. The latter scenario is slighty concerning as they
a: may try to pass of my doodles off as their own works of art
b: may well be sniggering at various personal writings that I’ve committed to paper over the years (it’s an old pad)
c: may discover the source of England’s grassroots problems and publish my description of our game in the comedy section of some Polish newspaper.
I had temporarily forgotten where I’d written the notes, breathed a sigh of relief when I found them, took the opportunity to read what I’d written and then used the pad for a shopping list whereupon it was discarded with the wrapping of the subsequent purchases. So the only information I recall from that brief reading is that Tufan went on a very long dribble all around the Red defence and all the while Reds getting more and more concerned that he would score at the end of it like one of those speeded up videos of Spain completing 57 passes in a row and rolling the ball into the net at the end, only with Tufan as the only participant. But he didn’t score. Red did, a lot. Colin, JP and Daniel combined well in a speedy attack for Red and I recall Ahmet firing from halfway into the empty net after Yellow had advanced en masse in the hope of restoring some parity. Luckily I’m prompt with inputting the basic details into my spreadsheet so I at least have the teams and final score. The result isn’t a fair reflection of the game, it was much less one sided than the score suggests. I’m sorry that most of our efforts have been confined to the annals of history. However, this report could arguably be more riveting than the game itself….we’ll never know.
Red: Colin, JP, Ahmet, Daniel, Gerald
Yellow: John, Kevin, Martin, Toby, Tufan
Final score: Red 12 – 5 Yellow
