A glorious day, totally unfit for the veteran type football, ended with victory and harmony.
Thanks to those who attended the Fox drinks and thanks to Malcolm for the chicken and etc.
Thanks to Paul, a proper referee, who reffed with effectiveness and humour. There were a few little disagreements needing ironing out from time to time- noffin serious. Well I was standing with a flag up me arse for most of the game so serious flashpoints were effectively and seriously curtailed.
First 20 minutes was competitive in the long grass. Apparently the council lawn mower is broken, anyone want to sponsor a new one?
A desperate, no, despairing, no ,...... dynamic and devastating save from Gavin, with his legs, kept us level. That boy stood up tall and brave!
Goal attempts by us were thwarted by their best player, the linesman, on numerous occasions, including a Brendan square ball for Mike to nod in! A Matt assist put Mark through and on this occasion he netted with aplomb. Matt put us 2-0 up before a steady move advanced down our right to be subsequently netted with a good cross shot. 2-1, which it stayed until half time.
With numerous officially granted drinks breaks and unofficial ones the match ground on. Offside decisions continued to effectively dominate. Offside Matt, yeah I know that bloke's playin you on but he's off the pitch having a drink. On other occasions the sneaky bugger would come back on and intercept. Matt scored another three for himself, lost a ball in a garden before Brendan SURGED forward to hit the sixth. To say he turned on the edge of area with the grace of the battleship Potemkin with a hole in its bottom was to praise his speed, but when he'd completed his pirouhette, with 5 degrees of difficulty, he toe poked accurately into the top corner. Unstoppable! At least Brendan was pleased. Matt scored another, yes he did!
The match wore on to its final denouement, Gavin shading under the sycamores, Richard (man of the match even ahead of 5 goal Matt) rampaging, Steve caressing balls onto careless heads, John bored and dreaming of Foxes to be and Brendan everywhere and nowhere baby, the season melted to an end. Thanks to all who participated and come on down next season and keep your ageing processes at bay.
A canny little turn out at the Fox from which I was rescued by Maggie, Brenda and Ernie ( Dave's dogs- Brenda and Ernie that is , Maggie is my......... better not go on). Did the rest get out before 11 this week?
"Training " outdoors on the Rec will be arranged shortly and a thoughts of the season blog will be forthcoming.
Ron, Brenda, Ernie and all my other little chums

Matt scored six didn't he? In a 9-1 thrashing? Oh, I don't know. I think the heat is getting to me. I thought Martin deserved a mention. He's like a pocket sized action man!
Martin gets a mention. Martin.
I heard Matt say he scored 8 in a 10-1 win
Did you hear about the 12 goals Matt scored, all with his left foot, hands tied behind his back with his eyes closed. Pity we lost 13-12. We should have Matt keeping score!
Many thanks to uncle Ron and aunt maggie for their friendly hospitality. Great food, brilliant walks and ducks that you could get your teeth in to. Oh!, and dodgy decorating. We would reccomend a long weekend at Ron and Maggies anytime. We can't wait for our owner to piss off again what a lazy twat he is.
Yeah...he couldn't even be bothered to drive back from Norfolk for a game of footie!
Steve loves caressing his balls.
Matt finished the season on 30 goals or possibly 47, depends on how offsides are calculated. Well done hope he'll be active next season!
JB (Statto) had a great season on and off the pitch. Who is the Social secretary anyway?
Minister of Youth Development, Dave, recruited wisely, pity the eponymously named recruiter at Newcastle wasn't in Dave's league.
Geoff Fish looks a good'n for the future.
that bully chap was in for his sausages on monday, he said matt scored 12 in a 14-1 thrashing
Matt scewered them like so many kebabs, the lad were like an automatic mincing machine. Chop chop and fillet me bunions.
I'll sponsor him next season.
I heard Nigel came on for 5 seconds and set up 3 of Matt's goals and then Carl cleaned out their defence for Matt to score another 4. Then the local dog distracted them with whistles for Matt to score another 5. Ahhhh...glory days.
Is the horse dead yet?
