Red (7): Matt, Tufan, Oz, Wilkie, Gerald, Keith, Jack
Yellow (7): Jim, James, Paul, Kevin, Daniel, Richard N, Richard P
Jim couldn’t go in goal, Tufan could only go in goal, Richard P was still stiff after an impressive two hour half-marathon, Wilkie hit the post, Gerald tried to distract the opposition by offering his yellow top to wear only to see his underhand tactics backfire and watch as the second of two goals for Yellow went in, both apparently against the run of play, Kevin tried a Dele Alli-esque chip, turn and shoot but swung at thin air, a not-unassailable 3-1 to Yellow at half-time. A collective firework-admiring “ooooooh” as Oz was on the painful end of a clearance, Daniel tried to cross to Mr Norman at the back post, scuffed the ball, exclaimed “doh!” and then watched as it rolled in at the near post, James got some good saves in, Tufan was trying to use the goal as a hammock as Paul stoked the ball into the empty net, everyone looked confused and I still don’t know what was happening, Wilkie got on the scoresheet….not a bad debut at all for the first ever appearance from someone coming up from our youth squad, Matt scored with the last kick of the game but it didn’t matter after a slightly one-sided affair, Red just weren’t clinical in the final quarter so a slightly flattering scoreline. Some football quotients are looking very healthy.
Final score: Yellow 8 – 3 Red
