We nearly snatched defeat from victory but alas it wasn’t to be. We thought it might feel better after the game having actually won and so we did.
We had a new keeper this week, Jake who was solid for most of the game and was one of our most threatening passers on the pitch. In fact our first goal came from one of his massive punts which sailed over the head of their defence and Paul tucked it away after rounding the keeper. Our second came from Richard who accepted a ball from Bully and with his first two touches, controlled it and smashed it in to the back of the net. Their goal before half time came from an obvious handball from their most dangerous player who passed it to their centre forward, who turned Tony and put it into the net. It was a good reminder that you should always play to the whistle.
In the second half, we got another two goals and the game looked to have been settled. Richard got his second goal after rounding the keeper and our beloved chairman got what ultimately turned out to be the winning goal with a fantastic effort. There were man hugs all round. What a man he is!
Anyway, they came back into it with a strange goal…their player looked offside and then when he crossed it, our new keeper palmed it into his own net. The third was just a defensive disaster and doesn’t need much description other than the fact their player found themselves in the middle of the six yard area with an open goal. It looked like they would score another but luckily we held on, thanks in part to the ref who couldn’t spot a pull back from Tony that stopped one of their players a clear shot on goal. It was an obvious penalty but then he didn’t spot the handball in the first half, so it was even stevens. At one point one of their players shouted ‘This is the worst team we’re going to be playing all season’. What an accolade to win so early on in the season. Well done chaps!
Starting line-up: Jake, Gerry, James, Tony, Chairman Al, Gavin, Bully, Darren A, Brendan the goal machine, Dave M, Paul. Subs: Des and Richard

I bought a new pair of Adidas boots in the Cyber Monday sales. Bright yellow and looking the business. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 50p for the first! I can't wait.
If we have a new keeper, can we get rid of flapper now?
I've just seen the squad for Sunday. Why is flapper in when last week's keeper did so well?
Should be ok just got my new glasses.
Chris Cox?
This is that "Walking Football" for OAPs, right? Reckon I'll be OK for at least 10 mins.
Yes that's the one and no running allowed. Games are only 5 mins each way.
Great, that just gives me enough time to make a pitch-length darting amble into the penalty area.
Has Bully been subbed yet?
Dear untesticled knob...... you sound a sad case.... have you tried surgery or at least Sanatogen?
Sad but not hopeless as after a few weeks work I'll be as fit as that bird from Transformers but with a bigger rack. Or...tell me more about this Sanatogen.
No I never get subbed only pulled off by dave and darren now and again.
