CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR STEWART AND COLOURS
Match Report: 27.12.07
Colours: Stewart, Felix, Rupert, Tony, James, Paul B, Rich (B), Steve W
Yellows: Tom, Rich, Rob, Steve C, Al, Mark GM, Jamie, Badge (last 15)
Score: Colours 3-0 Yellows
Stewart's roll continues as again his choice of team seemed to be an error of judgement, but again he proved the doubters wrong by winning yet again. At the end of the game Stewart said to me that people should not doubt his team choices anymore and he would be right.
The defence for the Colours was rock solid, with James, Paul, Rupert and Felix providing and secure platform for for the rest.
The game was evenly balanced in the early stages as some of the players looked weighed down by a combination of beer, Turkey and pies. However Stewart did open the scoring with a well taken goal and then the game finally opened up. However this did not seem to help the Yellows who were hampered by a leg injury to Mark GM (worryingly though he still out sprinted me, even with a limp! Getting old!) , some fine final blocks, some good saves, notably from Felix and luck when a Rich drive smacked off the post.
It did seem strange that the Yellows struggled to score with Mark and a one off game for Jamie, down over the Christmas period. In fact not did they only struggle to score but the Colours increased their lead with another goal from Stewart. Tom became desperate soon after this and roped an off duty Badge into his team in order to make the necessary breakthrough. They then did put the Colours under pressure, but rarely threatened even with their increased fire power.
To add insult to injury Steve Twinkle toes Whitcher, for the second game in a row, made the game safe with a late well taken goal. It was no more than the Colours deserved as they played some good football with everyone playing well and Rich particularly impressing with some neat tidy footwork. Steve W was begging to be man of the match, but failed to read my blog stating no more awards this year! Just to make you feel better Steve you played OK!
Happy New Year to the Tuesday boys, let's hope we have some more good games in 2008, see you next year.
