Borussia Forsyth kicked off the second game of the season against The Board Inn Lealholme, Forsyth knew they had a game on their hands after two previous games last season with a win going each way.
It was an emotional start to the day as Reeves and Snedden had enjoyed a Garlicy meal in aid of Reeves dad who was celeebrating a birthday. Brennan had turned up to pick the two up and ended up with tears in his eyes by the time he parked the car outside the packed ground from the stench of his car from the breath of the two, one thing is for certain the three will have no worrys of been visited by the legend of Whitby, count dracula.
Back to the football pitch and Forsyth had the returning Purvis, but were without M Jeffrey (sickness) Brown (away over seas) and Shaw (romantic week away), Reeves was sporting the new goalie strip looking similar to the michelin man, sources close to Reeves have quoted the sighting of him diving around in front of his mirror onto his bed crying KEEPERS. As the team warmed the cats gloves Reeves also pointed out the fact the ball had been pinched from a young 4 year old.
The game kicked off and the first couple of minutes was both team getting used to the hurricane style wind hurling around the ground, a few players still caught up in the netting like a cod in Whitby Harbour were seen flaping around. Lealholme had the first chance to open the scoring but Reeves saved well to keep the scores level. Forsyth then found themselves one up when D Jeffrey found space in the middle of the Park and found Brennan with a defence splitting pass, Brennan flicked the ball between the defenders to Purvis who calmly slotted the ball passed the advancing Keeper.This settled Bruce's lads and Lealholme were finding it hard to get the ball from the away team as pass after pass landed at the Forsyth players feet.
Lealholme rarely tested Forsyth's cat and from a corner he clawed the ball out of the air like tom would jerry and hurled the ball up the pitch to Brennan who read the bounce and found himself clear only for the Lealholme defender to decide he wanted a lay down and resulted in Brennan been taken down, Crabtree raced to the ref showing his imaginary card but to the shock of the Forsyth players and the 36 strong crowd no card was shown.
The half ended a little deflated as not much had been done in the 1st but things in the second half were soon to change.
One minute into the half Forsyth doubled there lead when a passing move (similar to the Barcelona moves) between every player on the Forsyth roster finnished with D Jeffrey again suppyling the impressive Purvis to find the bottom corner.
Lealholme tried attacking back like a depressed lion craved of food for weeks but Ludlam at the back was eating up balls like they were 3/4 pound Burgers. It was from a defensive header from the Razor Ludlam Borussia extended there lead when it landed at Crabtrees feet who jumped over his man like and olympic hurdler and threaded the ball to Brennan to tap past the keeper.
This opened up the flood gates as D Jeffrey then got in on the act when a trademark chip/lob from Snedded bounced in front of perfectly in front of Jeffrey to control and cushion the ball past the keeper. Purvis then grabbed his hatrick and the goal of the game when he nicked the ball from the wing back like John Terrys mam in Tescos nicked her dinner,and cut inside to curl the ball past the Board Inn goaltender.
Crabtree finnished the scoring to end a glorious result to Forsyth with a cool finnish into the bottom corner.
Overall a great result for Brucie's boys Purvis was excellent and fully deserved his hatrick but if it wasnt for Gareth "the razor" Ludlam gobbling up everything that came his way like Vanessa Feltz in a hotdog eating contest the game could of been different.
Brucie Man of the Match: Gareth Lundlam
