Red: JP, Kevin, Steve, Gerald, Femi, Chris, Brian
Yellow: Daniel, Tufan, Keith, Eddie, Alan, Patrick
Red were given the extra man because JP was injured. Within two minutes it became apparent he wasn’t. Brian and Patrick clashed early on. Patrick crawled off the pitch to the shade and eventually went home with a possible cracked rib. Get well soon sir. Chris swapped to even things up. Yellow got up to a 5-2 lead! The only actual piece of action I’ve noted down was Kevin’s dipping shot that was fingered-tip saved over the bar. Red clawed back the deficit to gain a small lead and in the last five minutes, Keith ventured forward out of goal to help with Yellow attacks. Red duly punished this approach and finished comfortable victors.
Final score: Red 9 – 6 Yellow
Quotes of the day:
Steve: “Who’s injured?” Twice, when people kept mentioning the fact that JP was injured.
JP: “Slip me through!”
JP: “There I go!”
Neither the cries of a player inhibited by injury.
