Red (6): Oz, Jeremy, Jim M, Gerald, Daniel, Adi (a random)
Yellow (6): Kevin, Jim N, JP, Paul, James C, Richard N
Jim M returns – welcome back. Sunny and as predicted, freshly mown grass and useful white lines marked out.
A ten minute hatrick for Daniel at the beginning of the game. Yellow replied with a floaty long ball from Kevin towards Paul who couldn’t jump high enough. Sadly neither could Jeremy who’d come out too far, flapped and watched the ball soar in. Adi the random was quite good down the left wing and put one in.
The enjoyment of the grass was short-lived as we were unfortunately interrupted by Gaelic Football ladies at half time so we were forced back to the grassy plains, I’m sure I saw a zebra. Yellow peppered the Red goal at the beginning of the second half, firing off a volley of shots but with minimal success. Jeremy went on a mazy dribble to slot one in. JP got stuck in front of goal but after about half a minute of drag back tricks and just when everyone thought the moment had long gone, he popped in a shot. He later sadly failed to deliver a killer pass to Jim N who, running through the centre, pleaded: “Unleash me JP!”
Final score: Red 8 – 3 Yellow
Also, I spotted this the day before….
