COLMER AND BRENNAN ROLL BACK THE YEARS IN COLOURS WIN
Match Report: 20.11.07
Colours: Stewart, Rob, Rupert, Alex, Paul P, Paul B, Steve C, Felix (1st half)
Yellows: Tom, Al, TJ, Mark GM, John, Shane, James, Felix (2nd Half)
Score: Colours 3-2 Yellows
Before the game started the web writer got stick for his choice of man of the match, apparently too many strikers are chosen, though Tom with 4 and Paul B with 3 may indicate otherwise. So feeling that anarchy was on the cards I beat a hasty retreat between the sticks.
On paper the Yellows seemed to have the stronger team and certainly the 2 Colmer's were disgruntled with the now beardless Stewart and his choice of team. Sorry to the rest of the team who may feel insulted by their pessimism.
Despite this the Colours, with a player extra, started to play the better football and took a deserved lead on the 15 minute mark when Rob poached on a through ball. Within 5 minutes it was 2 nil when Stewart scored after a flowing move. However after this they failed to create too many clear cut chances and one wondered whether they would pay for this when Felix swapped sides.
Indeed within 5 minutes of the change the Yellows reduced the arrears when TJ and Mark combined, with the former drilling the ball low easily beating Rupert, then it was 2 all a minute later when Mark had all the time in the world to beat Rupert with a low shot across him.
At this point it looked like it could be a cricket score, but strangely not many chances were created after this with Paul and Steve, especially, outstanding at the heart of the defence, though Paul and Alex were having good games. Another decisive factor was Rob returning to the back to bolster the defence, leaving Stewart as a good outlet. It was probably no surprise then when the Colours failed to deal with Steve's corner and Stewart was left free to poke home.
Man of the Match: Getting stick for picking strikers meant I was going to be stubborn and pick another striker or cave in and pick a defender, in fact this was a choice between Paul and Steve, both outstanding at the back, but this goes to an unsung hero, who usually just gets insulted on a match report, well done Steve you deserved it tonight, time for you to put your feet up drink your Horlicks and finish that Mills and Boon novel off.
