So here we are again, another year. So to start it off with a bang we took on the Hairdressers for an 8-a-side. An even sided game though I think we edged it a bit. Their danger came from Rob getting in some tasty crosses from the right but the Yellow defence was resolute. Yellow got the more chances but couldn’t make them pay. 10 minutes to go, 0 – 0. Would this be the first ever goalless game? No. Yellow combined up well up front to fire in. Red scratched it off for offside. Shocking. There’d been no shouts for offside all game and suddenly a goal….cynical. So we’ll keep it. We’d been knocking on the door, hitting the post twice, firing wide several times and forcing a few saves. Phil, who’d been in goal all game tweaked his hamstring making a save so had to go off so the other chap who’d given up earlier came back on and John had to leave early so both teams finished a man down. They chanced an equaliser against the run of play and although we chalked it off for offside, we’ll keep it. With the clock ticking down, Gerald cut inside from the left and fired in a lovely shot. Victory was ours!
Final score: Yellow 2 – 1 Red
