Score: Colours 1-7 Yellows

There was disappointment tonight before the first ball was kicked as again there was a low turn out, but the 11 players present, including a special one-off appearance from Jamie, put their heart and soul into the game. The watching Tom must have been heartened by the commitment of the players, but also sad due to the low numbers.

This was another difficult game for Stew who saw his side well and truly beaten and moreover only his solitary goal was all they had to show for a poor night. This indeed was a sorry return considering the numbers, however the Yellows defended extremely well and the Colours ran out of ideas.

It all started so well for Stew as he turned up in his souped up car and sun glasses, but how wrong it went, from the moment that Rock tucked away two early goals, it was all downhill from there on.

Badge, Rock and Jamie enjoyed themselves up front and caused problems and Felix, Rupert and Steve were outstanding in defence. Late on Badge limped off after taking a heavy fall (early scans show bad bruising) but this did not affect the outcome and Rupert rounded off a superb night for him and his team with a thumping volley from Steve's corner.

Man of the Match: Although I write the article I will give myself the award this week, for some fine tackles, all round contribution and a thumping volley at the end to round the night off.
