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.
