Report by James
Snow on the pitch, if we had an orange ball we’d have looked all 1970’s. With the addition of 3 randoms from the earlier game and the lack of bibs we organized ourselves by top-colour….
The Red-ish/light six – JP, James, Rich N, Rich P, Matt + Jo (random)
The Black/blue/dark five – Oz, Ahmet, JJ, Gareth + Danny (randoms)
It became quickly apparent that the blue randoms were very good and the red one not so, which helpfully made for a good balanced game. Defensive errors and sharp finishing (ok, and maybe some good passing) saw blue leading 5-2 at half time. Second half was a different story with a self-chastised Red going on a scoring run to get to about 10-7, which became 12-12 with a minute to go (suspicion that blue might have had a goal that counted two, it was as confusing as where the pitch boundaries were). This allowed James to finish the game by getting hopelessly dispossessed by Danny who slotted home coolly.
13-12 to blue (maybe). Fun in the snow!
“Their” match Report:
I didn’t think anyone would turn up today, the Rye was pretty much an ice rink. Much to my surprise Danny and Joe arrived. 3 wasn’t going to be enough for a game but we had a knock about and waited to see if the “estate agents” were playing. Luckily for us there did arrive and they need some extra players. 6 v 5 with Danny and myself on the team with 5 and Joe on the other. Anyway to cut a long story short we won and Danny scored a handful.
Next time there’s a bit of snow turn up you wimps.
Cracking game. I really enjoyed it, especially as expectations were so low due to the snow… I think the score’s correct, however a draw would have been a fair result.
