THE PRICE IS RIGHT!
CHAPLINS ONE CHANGE WAS HOWE FAILING LATE FITNESS TEST WITH A BACK INJURY SO WES CAME STRAIGHT INTO LEFT BACK FOR PAUL TO KEEP THE SAME TEAM FROM THEIR 6-2 WIN THE WEEK BEFORE , RYE MELDRUM WAS THEIR BUT DECIDED NOT TO GET STRIPPED. ROCK SCHOOL TURNED UP WITH A HORRIBLE GREEN STRIPS AND THE BOYS UNDERESTIMATING THEIR OPPISTION AGAIN , THE PITCH WAS DAMP AND BOBBLY SO MISTAKES WERE READY TO BE MADE. THIS DID HAPPEN EARLY ON WITH TOM THE BOMB DOING SOME GREAT DEFENDING AND SHRUGGING OFF HIS MAN TO TURN BACK TO GOAL TO PASS BACK TO JAMIE BUT PASSING IT HARD ONTO HIS LEFT FOOT FOR HIM NOT TO TAKE A TOUCH CLANGER OF THE SEASON ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF THE NET ROCK SCHOOL 1-0. CHAPLINS DIDN'T REALLY START WELL WITH ROCK SCHOOL DOMINATING THE FIRST 25 MIN WITH THEIR CENTRE MIDFIELDER RUNNING THE SHOW WITH SOME NICE FOOTBALL , BUT JUST BEFORE THE HALF AN HOUR MARK , GRAINGER PASSED IT FIRST TIME FROM THE LEFT FOR DUGIE TO RUN ONTO TAPPED IT IN SMARTLY 1-1. CHAPLINS KEPT ATTACKING WITHA FEW SNAP SHOTS FROM STOTT WELL SAVED BY THEIR KEEPER . DUGIE HAD THE CHANCE TO PUT CHAPLINS AND HIM 2 UP WHEN HIS SHOT COME CROSS HIT THE POST. CHAPLINS WENT INTO THE BREAK 1-1 ON A BIT OF A HIGH. THE LADS PLAYED SOME FOOTBALL PLAYING THE BALL ON THE FLOOR THEN CAME THE CHANGE OF THE MATCH MATTY OF PRICEY ON AND TWO MINUTES LATER A DEADLY CROSS FIELD BALL FROM DUGIE TO SHEARSMITH FOR HIM TO PUT IT PASS THE KEEPERS FRONT POST 2-1 A DUGIE GOAL AND AN ASSIST. JOE CAME OFF TIERD LEGS FOR BIRD WHO PUT THE SHIFT IN STRAIGHT AWAY RUNNING HIS SOCKS OFF AS HE USUALY DOES , THEN CHAPLINS WERE ON CLOUD 9 AS SHEARSMITH SWITCHED THE BALL TO PRICEY FOR ANOTHER CONTENDER FOR GOAL OF THE SEASON WITH A AWSOME GOAL FROM OUTSIDE OF THE BOX OF HIS OUTSIDE THE RIGHT BOOT TO LOB THE KEEPER BUT HE DID SAY IT WAS A SHOT. AFTER FIVE MINUTES PLAY FROM THE KICK OFF DOUGLAS GOT CAUGHT IN POSSESSION FOR SCHOOL TO GO DOWN AND SCORE WITH A FINE GOAL FOR HIM TO TO COMPLAIN TO REFFEREE IVAN ROWELL ABOUT THE FOUL AND WAS SURE TO GET A YELLOW CARD FOR DECENT BUT DIDNT LET IT GO AND WAS TOLD BY THE REF TO BE QUIET BUT DIDN'T LISTEN AND GOT THE RED AND SENT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. 3-2 TO CHAPLINS AND ROCK SCHOOL PILING PREASURE ON THEIR TEN MEN WITH BIRD UPFRONT BY HIMSELF AND STOTT DROPPING BACK INTO THE CENTRE MIDFIELD TO HOLD OUT WITH TEN MINUTES LEFT GOOD TEAM EFFORT TO BAG THE THREE POINTS.
SAYING OF THE DAY - " THE IRONING AINT DONE TILL THE CREASES ARE OUT" - SHOUTED BY BRENT HALF WAY THROUGH THE 2ND HALF.
GAME POINTERS - THE BOMB'S COMICAL OWN GOAL , DOUGLAS'S AWSOME PERFORMANCE THEN LOST HIS HEAD , PAULS' SUBSTITUTION , HOLDING OUT FOR THE WIN WITH TEN MEN , JAMIES HANDLING MUCH BETTER AND ALEXS ROCK SOLID PERFORMANCE AGAIN.
