Right my first blog, now this won’t have the wit of Rich’s posts or the articulate edge of Darren’s but ill give it a go!!! (and ignore the battle ref on bottom of the pic..has no relevance..haha)
Despite the lack of bibs on Fridays game and the early fear we may have a headless turkey game ahead of us it turned out to be a very good organised game with some exceptional football on display.
The teams lined up 8 against 7 and for the opening stretch of the game with the non-darks made the extra player count by taking an early sizeable lead with Zak being the main man upfront causing problems in the darks defence and scoring nearly all the goals with some brilliant passing football being played. (Reports that Zak had eaten Weetabix for breakfast, lunch and pre-game dinner later proved unfounded). With such a lead building there were suggestions that the numbers didn’t add up and the game stopped for a Time-out to have a player recount and though the numbers added up it was decided the Non-darks would hand over a player……and this proved the games big turning point…Billy stepped up and changed sides and the impact on the game was instant. Suddenly the darks were bombarding the non-darks defensive line with Pete leading the front line and Dan, Tor, Tim & Billy making breaking runs from midfield. Now this was a real match. The Non-darks didn’t rollover however, Joe pulled in a dogged like performance and Darren put in a stern performance on the left and Barry was there to put his head on anything that came into their area (if a live grenade had been thrown into our area Barry would have been there to head it clear!!!) and the guy with Arsenal shirt (sorry don’t know name) was the rock at the back, very much playing in a Tony Adams/Steve Bould mould. Myself and Guy kept marshal in the defensive midfield. At this point the non-darks were putting some exceptional passing moves together that wouldn’t have been out of place at the Emirates and these would have led to more goals had it not been for the excellent defensive work of the rock back line of Keith and Shaughen and the ever present Tor and Tim for the darks. This match had turned into a real battle with no one wanting to give an inch!!
The match ended in an epic draw with everyone knowing they had been in a match!!!!
