Red (5): Kevin, Jeremy, James, Jack, Daniel
Yellow (6): Jim, Richard, Paul, Tufan, Gerald, Oz

Colin, Keith and JP bailed at the last minute.

John failed his fitness test. Richard passed his.
Kevin and Jeremy were on the same team. Again.
Daniel didn’t score his 400th goal.
Tufan won.
Fitness was an issue.
The left hand side of one goal was a foot too tall.

Jeremy scored the opening goal on his birthday, the first of a 4-0 rout of the opening 20 minutes. The second came from a lovely break, the ball being released to Daniel who sprinted down the wing, cutting inside the defender, dribbling forward and passing across the goalmouth to James who sidefooted in. Jeremy said that every move was exactly what he’d have done on his playstation. Yellow seemed stagnant and disinterested so James foolishly started showboating and his team didn’t score for the rest of the half whilst Yellow did. Six of them. A veritable half of two quarters. One of these goals was not from Gerald’s skied shot that bounced as it made it’s way to the corner and span out for a throw. But Paul did have his shooting boots on and firing from distance he did the damage. Yellow up 6-4 at the break.

Daniel pulled off a string of great saves in the second half to keep red in the game but he couldn’t stop them all. Jim caused trouble down the right, regularly cutting the ball back into the danger area for Tufan or Oz to shoot. However Red clawed it back to 6-8 causing some jitters in the Yellow team but they held on and fired in with the a final attack to put the game to bed and head to the pub victorious. And no one took advantage of the extra large top left corner!

Final score: Yellow 9 – 6 Red
