BOB HATRICK ALL IN VEIN

Match Report 3.7.07

Colours: Stewart, Paul B, James, Bob, Dave, Tony, Scott (GK), Paul (New Guy 2nd half)

Yellows: Tom, Jimmer, Badge, Heath, John, Steve, Rupert (GK), Paul (NG 1st half)

Score: Colours 3-5 Yellows

Stewart went with the same policy this week as last, having Bob and himself up front with Paul and James at the back, though this week his team were chasing the game rather than controlling it. They did, however sneak into a 2-1 lead, but this did not last long as Badger scored his second, followed by a rare Heath goal and a goal for the new boy (Paul), making the score 4-2 before Paul then joined the Colours.

Heath would like to say that his goal was a 40 yard pile driver, or he went past 4 clipped it up and volleyed in, actually he rolled it in from 2 yards out, but the build up was good from the veteran.

Jimmer was having one of those strange games, slipping all over the place like Bambi on ice skates, hacking at Bob and annoying the little terrier and then blasting the ball anywhere except goalwards.

Bob in contrast had a good game scoring a hatrick and nearly retrieving the situation for the Colours as they began to dominate the latter stages, but they were thwarted by Rupert in goal, as he threw his ageing injured body around, though he actually baled himself out on one or two occasions!

Kitchen sinks came to mind for the Colours, but they were undone by a late breakaway goal and Badger was able to complete his hatrick.

Man of the Match: Well done to Tom who wins yet another award. He handled Bob and Stewart well, made some vital interceptions and kept feeding the front boys with decent passes.
