STEWART MISTAKE COSTS COLOURS

Match Report: 25.9.07

Colours: Stewart, Scott, Al, John, Rupert, Paul P, Jimmer, Alex

Yellows: Tom, MarkGM, Rob, Steve C, Paul B, Jamie, Felix, Tony

Score: Colours 3-5 Yellows

A tight game required something special to win it, or a cock up to let the other team in, unfortunately for Stewart and his team it was his mistake that led to their demise. At 3 all the game was well balanced but Stewart (chasing back note it) dithered on the ball and Mark did what Mark does best and nicked the ball off Stew leaving John exposed in goal like a naked rambler and he slotted home.

The game started so well for Stewart as he buzzed around and scored the first goal of the game in the 20th minute. He then saw his team take a 2-1 lead and a 3-2 lead, before the collapse started.

Mark had a fine game as he and Jamie often combined to cause problems for the Colours defence, though Al stood up well to the challenge. Mark helped himself to a hatrick as he piled on the agony for the Colours by slotting in the fifth and the Yellows never really looked like getting back into it.

Funny points of the game were:

• Al lying on the floor to get in the way of a shot
• Stewart claiming a hatrick, but wait a minute we only scored 3 and Scott scored one!
• Paul B turning up in a new shirt, which surprised everyone
• John turning up late, which surprised no one

GOODBYE - Jamie (Torres lookalike) is off to live and work in London. Living in a house with loads of mates, can we visit? Jamie may be back every now and again, but that is basically it for now. Good luck Jamie.

VOTES: Tom is keen to get the Pete Swift award (award given to the person who has contributed the most to Tuesday nights) nominations in by 16th October please. Presentations for this years awards may take place in the bar after the game on 18.12.07, there may be a few snacks to boot! Curry night possible date is 7.12.07 - this is only for players on a Tuesday not some random person who reads the blog, I know there are thousands out there.

Man of the Match - There were some good performances tonight, but Mark GM has to win this one for his 3 goals and some good saves as well.

COLOURS RECOVER TO WIN

Match Report: 11.9.07

Colours: Stewart, Paul B, Paul P, Rupert, Jamie, John, Tony, Bob, Steve W, Jimmer, Ash

Yellows: Tom, Rich, Steve C, Al, TJ, Badge, Shane, James, Mark GM, Alex

Score: Colours 4 - 3 Yellows

Another packed game another tight affair, with no quarter given.

Initially the Yellows looked the better team with more cutting edge, in fact they were only kept in it courtesy of a couple of good saves from Ash. However they did take the lead after 20 minutes when Alex (making another comeback) drove a superb volley into the bottom corner.

At this point, and with one man less, the Yellows looked like adding more to their tally, but they were undone when Tony squeezed home a goal against the run of play. However their one goal lead was restored when Rupert made a mess of a clearance and Rich helped himself to an easy finish.

The Colours , though, were not to be denied and they came back hard at the Yellows and scored 3 quick goals to effectively kill off the Yellows. First Bob had an easy tap in from a good pass from Tony, then Stewart finished well and then James, yes James made a rare mistake to let in Jimmer for 4 - 2.

Mark GM was running around like a headless chicken trying to get his team back into it and he made it 4 - 3, but unfortunately for Yellows too little too late.

Congratulations to James who scored 50 points for hitting a moving car and now faces an insurance damage bill!

Man of the Match: Not a lot is said about this guy, who doesn't even read this blog (OK hardly anyone does) but Paul B was efficient as ever in defence and even made a good save when in goal. Well done Paul.
