Fair comment from Rich about the game but his modesty means he has omitted his two magic flicks in the box that resulted in goals. They were the best bits of skill during the match from my point of view. Stefan had a magic run through the middle with a step over and fantastic shifting of balance and direction.

Besides the pounding of my heart in my ear from a lack of fitness, the only sounds I recall were those plaintiff cries from the hard done by Eoin. In all fairness there was a period when no team wanted to have the ball after if went out for throws or corners/goal kicks. How very gentleman-like of us all!

The most important part of the game for me was realising that I needed new boots. This means that next week Eoin will have the second most shiny shoes on the pitch!
