YELLOWS LET IT SLIP IN THE RAIN

Match Report: 16.10.07

Yellows: Tom, Alex, Mark GM, Jimmer, Rupert, Paul B, Bob, Felix (1st half)
Colours: Stewart, Tony, Badge, Shane, Scott, TJ, Paul P, Felix (2nd half)

Score: Yellows 8-8 Colours

This was a strange game as the Yellows were in cruise mode, lost concentration and threw a big lead away.

The Yellows started with the extra man, but the game was pretty even, it was just that the Yellows took their chances and went into a 4-2 lead when Felix swapped sides. By this time Jimmer (feeling aggrieved that he was not put into the dream team saying their should be subs to include him) added to his impressive goal tally with another hatrick.

It appeared that the Colours would then take control when the swap occurred but in fact Mark GM went on a goal fest scoring four of his own, with Alex adding one with a powerful drive and all of a sudden the Yellows were staring down the barrel at 8-4; especially as Alex was starting to pull the strings and Mark and Jimmer were reaping the rewards.

However the Yellows lost focus (not helped by the fact that some random scores were being shouted out by some of the Colours) over played it and allowed Stewart, Badge and Scott far too much space and they made the Yellows pay with some goals of their own, with Scott scoring the last with a goal right at the death.

Man of the Match: A tough decision this week as Stewart continues to show good form, Badge and Jimmer had good games but for his 4 goal haul Mark GM wins it and closes the gap at the top of the MoM awards.
