Team Paul; Darren A, Chris G, Tony, Brendan; Chris W, Martin, Steve, Phil; Jihn T, Richard.
Subs Gerry for Phil (45), Phil for Steve (60), Steve for John (65). Sub not used Mark (Carrow on the mind).
On the top pitch we kicked toward Stevenage first half with a wind at our backs. Some neat play ensued. Looking OK. A 45 yarder from Phil sped over. We looked accomplished at the back.
The pitch was firm but less bumpy than last week. Then a misdirected diagonal pass from Phil bounced in the penalty area, took off vertically and soared over the keeper. So it remained till half time, though they did have a rising rasper clear our bar and Phil and Chris had a couple of noteworthy long rangers..
We went two up when a pacy free kick from Steve was headed upwards by their centre half. They watched as it fell to Gerry who left the way clear for Richard to smash home from 6 yards.
All still comfortable. A run by their full back saw him pull the ball back into the 6 yard box where it unfortunately took a bounce off Tony and trickled home. Was it out before the cross ? Probably. Asked whether it was out their man declined to aver. Mark on the line could not see from the far side, too many daisies in the way- goal stood.
Their equaliser was as bizarre as it was indescribable, so I'll not try too hard. Suffice to say Tony was ushering the ball out for a goal kick whereupon Paul, desperate to keep the game alive dived to save us from our own goal kick. He kept the ball in play at the expense of giving their bloke a tap in from two. But hey, he played well.
Steve took a nasty fall. Bet his shoulder's popped out. But he came back on. Did anyone comment, I didn't hear.
An exciting meet in the Legion about 20 odd of us. Sandwiches and crisps provided by Maggie this week. Not enough. Everyone satisfied with the venue, except a curmudgeonly Phil.
Next week away to Litlington 10.30 ko where we may have a new centre forward deputising.
The week after, the season's final game and mine, probably forever, hope we can field a side what with christenings and Spurs final home game.
Toodle pip!
Goodbye Sir Ronald
Quack quack

New centre forward injured, we want our money back.
Legion worth pursuing it was excellent for our purposes. Consider.

Tidy.
Next time you're in- in the next 10 minutes probably- get me 4 bottles of that Newcy Brown, I don't get out much.
Im bored at home. I fancy a holiday.
i love the legion, a lovely place for after the game. phil can fuck off if he doesn't like it. in fact you can all fuck off
Have met the Legion manager-ess!
She would never say that to us- though she might to Phil cos he's a throwback- not very far mind.
Legion has sky sports, nuf said

Your right there.
How does Phil define "much"?
As Dave seems to have given up i thought i would make my way to Asda to see what bargains they had in store. I was amazed to find Asda Chosen By You Tea Bags (80 tea bags) for a pound down from £1.58. You cant knock it and we all love a nice cuppa in the morning.
In the morning I prefer Shiraz!
