So I published this on the day. Then the website disappeared (something to do with migrating the server – gobbledigook to me) and when it reappeared, this report had vanished. The following is a vague memory of what happened – please feel free to add comments. I did recall every goal at the time but can’t recall two of them as well as a few other details, my apologies.
The first half kicked off with Red showing the desire. Ahmet squared from the right for Daniel to stroke in. Paul got involved in a tangle at the near post and his poke fortuitously evaded all the legs and rolled in. Then a perfect copy of the first goal except Darren crossed from the left this time for Daniel to repeat the move.
Yellow strangley decided to hang back for the second half, hoping to absorb the pressure and attack on the break. Red shrugged their shoulders who passed back to Ahmet who fired a rocket from about halfway inside his own half which firstly curved away from goal but then back towards it. Jim N was insighted by Jeremy bending to get it of the way and it flew into the low corner – tasty. A Yellow break ended with the ball rolling to Jim N’s feet and he fired at the empty goal 3 yards in front of him. Red throw. Hilarious. And unbelievable – how did you do that? No really, please use the comment button below. Yellow finally got on the scoresheet though. Kevin fired at Daniel who could only parry the shot into the path of the on rushing Jim who made no mistake this time. Richard P replied with a run down the left to fire in across goal from a tight angle.
It wasn’t that one-sided but a strange choice of defensive second half tactics by Yellow, to the victor the spoils.
Final Score: Red 7 – 1 Yellow
