Red (6): Oz, James, Gerald, Jared, Daniel, Richard
Yellow (5): Kevin, Jeremy, JP, Jack, Tufan,
Red kicked off and after three or four passes the ball fell for Jack who fired in with his first touch past Daniel who was still fumbling to get his gloves because no one else in this squad seems to be able to press the start button on timer.
JP promptly made it two and then whilst jumping with Richard in goal at the high ball from Kevin it bounced out of the kafuffle and in off Daniel’s shin or was it already over the line? One for VAR. Oz eventually fired one in reply but that was the pattern, Yellow like a stripper, teasing Red of what could be. But like a pro, never letting them get within reach.
Daniel tapped in a cross to make it 3-2, JP struck another and then another for 5-2 and Richard restored brief hope at 5-3.
Red were awarded a free kick after JP said “boo!” into Richard’s ear as he was about to pull the trigger. Red weren’t shy and everyone had plenty of shots but coupled with a numerous blocks including by JP (!!) and Jack making a good number of saves, they just couldn’t put them away. At the other end Jeremy hit the woodwork twice but otherwise they were ruthless, taking advantage of numerous passing errors in Red defence….you know who you are!
With Red flooding forward to restore some pride they were dispossessed. JP will argue he passed the ball but in truth he skewed his shot from distance at the empty goal but Tufan was on hand to receive the errant ball and stroke into the empty net to complete the rout.
Red 3 – 6 Yellow
