Bull in the Barne vs The boars head, the game of the week, 3 vital points on offer which way will they go. The Bull come into this fixture having lost 3 out of 3 MASSIVE under dogs!! and on the other end of the pitch the boars head are on form having won thier last two, including a great win against the unison, safe to say thier spirits are riding high.
9:45 and the gaffer arrives at the changing room, shocked by the sight of 8 players he quickly gets on the dog and bone... to no success. Not the start the team needed to this very winable fixture, Come 10 o clock and only 10 "rearing" players (suffering from last nights antics) and the atmosphere was NOT buzzing. nevertheless we exchanged some positive comments to get the testosterone going.
as we headed out onto the very well maintained sundorne pitches Ed was quick to point out the conditions. very wet and slippery suface and a clear sky with a bright sun burning straight to the goal mouth. Not ideal condidtions for our number 1.
Half 10 comes and to our luck we are still a key person down, this time being the ref. this gave bish chance to get a kit on and make our 11th man, although the pussy took 10minutes to get hits kit on. eventually a ref comes over and bites the bullet to take our fixture (lazy man could'nt find who he was supposed to ref)
Whistle blows and bull start in posession, we quickly got the ball on the deck and played some neat passes, creating triangles and looking for space we worked the ball up the field, chick and dan worked well down the left hand side creating a run for chicken to whip the ball into box only to be greated by the silent assasain that is Charlie Lewis. Bang 1-0 3 minutes played (bish still getting changed)
Straight from the restart we invited some pressure on to ourselves but the back 3 at the time did a good job mopping it up. Aaron was pulling some strings in the middle and he's quick feet were too much for the boars head, so much so that a foul was giving for a soft late challenge. charlie steps up 30 yards out, whats he going to do.. SHOOT or CROSS. well having already scored and being a gready fucker he sends a curling cross to back post. Up pops captain Marvin with he's ever receading head driving the ball straight across goal and placing itself neatly into the net. The poacher chicken thought about stealing coles glory but bottled it because he knew cole would shaft him. 2-0 looking comfortable
The game gets going again and straight away they bury a comeback goal not what we wanted. But still a one goal cushion. and that lead soon extends when the silent assasain pops up again and sends a long ball down the left channel for a surging matthew brown to smash at a tight angle to make the keeper look a right mug. 3-1 to the home team
But then our thrill ride takes a down turn. some sloppy mistakes invited the pressure on to our defence. and soon Ed was finding himself very busy picking the ball out the net twice without response. both goals finding the corners of the goal not much he could about those. They soon found another gear and realised that they had an edge on our defense when it comes to pace. from then on every ball was played cutting cole and bish every time. then the speedy fuckers would run through and a hammer a shot. WELL good old dan thompson didnt fancy that, already pissed off at having a domestic with chicken he charged thier striker down in the penalty area, as clear a penality you'll ever see. This was it, everyone but bish was expecting to go in at half time 4-3 down. until to everyones suprise the boars head striker sends it wide of our tiny goals (this will never be forgotten bish)
Half time 3-3 everyones a tad gutted at throwing away a 3-1 lead but thanks to some positive comments from the captain our spirits were still high and this game was still up for the win. but 10mins into the second half and that 3all becomes 3-5 down. FUCK our chances of winning looked almost as small as the goals. throughout the half we did little to test the boars keeper, shame we couldnt say the same for ed and the back line. A crunching clearance left the captain tasting the grass and unable to continue at centre back, so a key switch was made to put cole in the middle and bring ryan back to support bish and the two dans. this change of tactics pushed aaron up top, chick in the centre and max out on the wing. Injury no subs and two goals to the bad (Things were now looking bad. and to top this off thier speedy striker popped round the back of mozza and cheekily chipped ed to make it 6-3
We eventually get the ball down the left wing thanks to a great pass out wide from dan to max who is harsly fouled. Charlie and aaron step forward (this was in hitting distance) after some serious decision making charlie steps up hits a beauty straight in the top right corner Take a bow mr Lewis that was amazing, but unfortunatly not enough to get us back in the game.
End result Bull in the barne 4 - 6 Boars head
