Therfield 1 Knobs 3

Good win with a little hiccup or two- presumably aftermath of Friday night.
Usually a weaker side fronted against this lot, usually with a similar result so my expectations of a 10-0 victory yesterday was a little out! Probably we were too purist, trying to walk the ball into the net, but perhaps that will hold us in good stead against better sides.
Gorgeous hot morning, awaiting kick off and a referee who had gone yem to find a whistle. Monsieur Bull, impatiently pawing the earth for a kick off that took an age to materialise got a few of them riled- fuck me this is Therfield. It didn't matter, a match fought well in good spirit- I hate those games. We played well for half an hour and their only sniff was a back pass from me that followed Ashley Cole some 24 hours earlier, apparently. Trevor courageously saved.
First goal excellent move, John Boyle made it (mine's a pint of Guinness) finished aplombishly by Steve Bull. Second a neat finish by Matt. Where are the floodgates?
Stuck that way till half time.
Big centre forward was a lumpy awkward thing, Chris Griffths excellent, take off your non-existent hat,
Over prettification meant the score remained static for most of the second half until they scored in a scrimmage on the goal line after a blatant push on Chris, I think. We put the result beyond doubt with a crap third, a header from John Boyle as he awaited a clattering that never came. He had to be there to do it! (Another Guinness please).
The pub in Therfield having gone to the wall meant we trekked into Royston and spent an hour in glorious Indian summer sun. John Twigg only one in his new Knobs sweatshirt- £15 from Steve Bull- or you don't get picked.
John Boyle revelled in his Ribenas with straws and Trevor enjoyed a Latte. Fuck me with a dead rabbit! Bill floated the idea of a trip to Chataillon sur Plage. it was the sun and the Latte wot done it.
Thanks for the lift back Brendan, despite being blocked in by Royston's version of Wild Bill Hickock, we got yem safe by 2.30.
