Knobs 5 Ware Strollers 2

This will be short and to the point.
 A well merited victory, hard and fairly  fought,  not too difficult but not easy either. We had to take them through  high tempo play and good football- and we did. I can remember times when we would spurn such opportunities and struggle and lose against lesser sides. So well done. Having said that we created and failed to take countless chances, so again well done for the former but must do better in the latter department. Heavy rain meant the pitch became a bit of a gluepot from early on. We nearly scored within a minute when Dave, the handsome one, burst through from the right and fired into the side netting thence into the net. I initially gave a goal- blind boy! Who is supplying our velcro?
They had a bit possession without any end product and we soon took the lead. Andy's cross across the box was completely miskicked by the defender - it fell to Gavin- he doesn't miss those, well actually he does, but on this occasion he found the bottom corner.
An excellent long range floater from Jamie was pleasant on the eye heading unstoppably to the top corner. Dave- not- Jordan scored with a nice finish from a crowded position and he could have had several before half time, one hitting the bar and another effort from the narrowest of angles being cleared off the line. Gavin hit the bar also, from very close in. Dave J in our goal had little to do as we turned round at half time 3-0 up. Paul Crosby having shown he still has it or something at left back now replaced Dave in goal for the second half.
We continued to make and miss chances until we notched our fourth on the hour. Memory lapse please help.
We lost Twiggy to a twigged calf , his words not mine and Jaime went off injured shortly afterwards.
We had enough subs so all was fine. Paul tipped one shot over the bar, excellent and was generally competent in his handling bar the simple ball he dropped at the foot of their bloke on our goalline. Soft!
4-1.
Tony launched forward on a rare raid and tucked away a cross for number 5. Bobby Charlton said those 90 degree passes are the hardest to hit first time. He was right so well done Tony. They scored a second in the final moments when their bloke seemed an eternity offside but our struggling linesman could not raise a flag so they had a second.
Several notable performances but I think Chris W and Joel were consistently up for it- competitive and setting the tone with very hard yet fair tackles.
Lytton Arms was  packed but the food was approved of yet again.
Next week we are away to Tesco Vets in Cheshunt. Hope people are keen to play. The followiing week if we can field our most energetic side I am convinced we can take MBDA. It's down to you boys.
