5-a-side. What a corker. What an introduction to the new year. A brisk morning brought in the new year on the common and the pace of the game reflected that. Sadly I can’t remember much of note. Red went into the break 5-2 up which was a harsh scoreline as yellow certainly had seemed to dominate possession. Mr Norman pulled off some tasty saves and the red defence resolutely kept JP off the scoresheet.
The second half only had one goal in the first 30 minutes for red but with Jeremy concentrating on pulling the red showboat whistle a little prematurely, yellow pulled back two late goals, the second of which rolled in 3 seconds before the final whistle. However, despite their group hug and mass cheering, I must remind them that they still lost!
Final score: Red 6-4 Yellow
