5-a-side. Sunny! Soggy. For future reference, the top of the hill doesn’t drain any quicker than the usual patch. Yellow scored first with Colin deftly poking in from a low corner. Red replied promptly and the pulled away to a 9-4 lead over the game, the new twosome turned out to be quite good. Too many goals for me to recall. I do remember Ahmet unselfishly crossing for Ed at the backpost who managed to prod home nonchalantly despite looking extremely put out to even have to move his leg to hit the ball in from half a yard out. Mike tried a overhead scissor but missed the ball although he put away a couple of other tasty goals. Yellow forgot to select a keeper at the beginning of the second half but they did finally perk up in the last 10 minutes to score 4 goals. Huzzah! Sadly Red scored another 3 in the same time.
Final score: Red 11 – 8 Yellow
