COMPLACENT COLOURS PAY THE PRICE
Match Report 5.8.08
Colours: Stew, Andy, Felix, Jaidi, Paul P, Paul L, Paul B
Yellows: Tony, Rob, Rupert, Rock, Scott, Steve C, Bob, Badge
Score: Colours 5 - 5 Yellows
What a strange game and I am sure the Colours will look at themselves in the mirror tonight and think I need a shave, no that is Stew, will think 'How the hell did we lose that?' A game we completely dominated for the first half hour, indeed at one point Stew was looking to change it as it was so one sided that a cricket score was on and they were a man down!
The Colours were off to a flyer and their quick passing tempo was too much for the sluggish Yellows who did not know what hit them. Andy, Jaidi and Stew were tearing the Yellows apart and they were 3 up in no time. First Stew fed Andy who finished smartly, then Andy finished coolly again, before Stew finished after good work from Jaidi. At this point Rupert got the hell out of goal.
However the goal glut continued when Andy smashed home for his third and added a fourth with a fine individual effort. At this point the Yellows were all over the place and were arguing like a married couple (not in my experience though!) While on the other hand the Colours were having a ball with even Stew laughing and joking.
However football is a funny game and the turning point was when Stew had an easy tap in for 6 but unselfishly (yes that is right) squared it to Paul P but he blazed over. Back came the Yellows and Badge scored 2 quick goals, but this seemed like consolation goals particularly as the Colours looked like they had more goals in them. This was not the case and further goals from Bob and then Rock made the game close. Then with time running out Badge got his hatrick, yet another to his collection, to level it up. In the end Stew was pleased to hear the final whistle, but surely he should have won this game at a cantor.
Man of the Match: Andy was simply outstanding, despite being on holiday in Spain for a month he was charging all over the place, scoring goals, setting up and so on. Although he faded slightly he did more than enough to win this weeks award.
