Yellow: Jeremy, Kevin, Jim N, Gerald, Richard N, Tim
Red: JP, Matt, Jack, James, Richard P, Daniel
6-a-side. Sunny. Sketchy recollection, apologies for inaccuracies. Red took the lead with a protracted scuffle near the goal with Matt finally poking in. Yellow replied soon after but Red took the lead again. JP then took a goal kick. Well, I say goal kick. He passed it to Jim who took a touch and hoofed it back with interest into the goal. 2-2. JP redeemed himself though, running down the left channel to the goal line, cutting back in and finding the back of the net – just before half time too. 3-2 to Red.
Yellow equalised shortly after the break with Tim getting on the scoresheet. They then got in front only for Red to equalise with a low struck daisy cutter from Richard P, nice. A couple more here and there with Jim completing a hatrick – clearly saving up from last week and Gerald restored calamity parity with a weak pass across the back for James to pounce on and score. At some point JP was closed down after a few dragbacks and was encouraged to pass “To Jack! To Jack!”, his only unmarked teamate. “Not necessarily” came the response.
Final score: Red 5 – 5 Yellow
Meanwhile, in other news, Oz missed this game. Strangely this week he took back those useless gloves for a refund after being reimbursed for the original expense by the club – yes, suspicious indeed. Rumours abound with sightings of a man matching his discription recently arriving in Turkey, sitting on a yacht just off the coast, and sipping Piña Coladas purchased with his ill-gotten gains (£8.00). Interpol have been informed.
Oz – tell me this isn’t true!?
