It's now 5 wins in a row for Knebworth Vets after Hadley Green were dismantled with 4 goals in the second half.
Knebworth started slowly, conceding a lot of possession in the first 25 minutes - but the back four held firm protecting stand in keeper Dave Jordan (thanks Dave). Upfront Woody looked lively, and the deadlock was broken when Woody turned his man inside out and was hacked down in the box. Phil Wheeler, looking as smart as we've ever seen him, pointed to the spot. Bully had clearly not read the blog after last weeks miss, and stepped forward to give Knebworth the lead.
Knebworth then went 2 up. Free scoring, deputy manager, James cleared a corner to Paul Matthews, and followed his clearance like Bryan Habana chasing a high ball. Paul returned the pass and James ran through, closed his eyes, swung his right foot and the keeper dived out of the way.
Hadley Green got back in it shortly before half time. Wayne didn't quite understand the term "indirect" and deflected an indirect free kick past Dave. This was Wayne's 53rd career own goal.
At half time the statistics said not to bring Banksy - pitch too big, and his form with the flag is just too good. so Dave K went in goal (thanks Dave), Ally replaced Tony.
The game was over 10 minutes after half time. Some much improved passing cut through a tiring Hadley team and Woody netted twice. Darren tied the bootlaces of a giant together so James could head in the fifth goal. Banksy made a nuisance of himself, tripped over his Shisha pipe and was awarded a penalty - Bully converted again - to answer his "anonymous" critics on the blog.
After the game a naked man wondered why naked men did not have any cash on their person to pay their subs. A tense and frightening moment, but eventually money was found to pay Phil for the 2 penalties.

Faraway Sir Ronald
It's been on and off for years but finally the time has come for Sir Ronald to be put out to pasture in Pembrokeshire and become Faraway Sir Ronald. Plenty of gardening to be done and the drink is already a distant memory. The KNOBS, who are they?

Da iawn. comments? where are they, everyone too busy accumulating shekels, good luck to you all! Howay community. Where's Brendan now? Community?
Bully has to score penalties because he can't score any others. I bet Woody would have loved to have taken the penalty. Might have got a hat-trick then. I can sense the resentment in Knebworth.
