Well it seems the slightly effeminate nautical inspirational e-mail did the trick. Thank you all for a coming – a great game. A bit of a baptism of fire for Winston, hot, hard and fast. Usually it’s just one of those, but all three – poohah!
Red (6): Richard N, Tufan, James, Damon, Winston, Richard P
Yellow (6): Jeremy, Ahmet, Daniel, Gerald, Steve, Kevin
Highlights.
Yellow kicked off, Daniel passing back then taking a run down the right channel, receiving the ball back and with a deft dip of the shoulder, turned around Richard N and shot into the far low corner. 1 – 0 after 10 seconds.
A few chances then went to both sides but good keeping from yellow and not so good from red took yellow into the break 4 – 0 up.
Winston changed his shoes and immediately stopped slipping over but the frustration began to show in red with Richard N clearly needing a refund from his anger management course. Not quite the physical explosion of Cantona’s kung-fu kick but if they’d been a bit closer….and they only wanted their ball back. Sadly the strain was too much and he went off injured 10 minutes into the second half and yellow “donated” Daniel to the opposition.
A couple of goals from both teams ending in a final score of 6 – 2.
Some interesting stats:
The highest attendence so far this season (12) (apart from the astro 11-a-side (15))
The highest even sided game so far (6-a-side)
The second highest goal difference so far (4) (exceeded only by the game against the russians (a difference of 10). Hang on, wasn’t I pushed over to other team on that game as well?

Take it as a compliment Dan that you were deemed to be someone who’d make a real difference!
