Cavalier FC 2-1 Warminster wanderers
Ref: macho man randy savage
Attendance: 1,000000
It started like any other Sunday, Blanny was late and roachy no showed.
Mr Blanchard made up for his lateness by blaring out Phil Collins and serenading Dave young and Jez on the way to the game.
Having only got 13 players due to Scott and matts secret lovers weekend which must have been matts treat for the previous weekend with his boy Scott sticking up for his friend in a ferocious pitch brawl, and with Andy Holman grounded, Dan Rance running daddy day care and stoner doing his baywatch thing at the pool, the cavalier went into this match with many starting 11 members and many other regulars missing.
It was clear Leigh Blanchard who was heavily dosed on medication and still thinking of Phil Collins wasn't 100% and was nearly asleep during his own personal yoga session.
An early dick of the week nomination went to the gaffer who after struggling to realise who's name he hadn't written on the team sheet turned out to be himself!
Moving on.......
Cavalier had to work hard and should have been 3 or 4 up in the opening 20 minutes but failed to take their chances (I know, I know, Bewley was "pushed")
Finally the deadlock was broken when Antony butler drilled a shot towards goal and having seen his shot saved made it to the rebound to smash home from close range, the cavalier were rarely threatened first half and the back 3 of Blanny, Ashton and Dave were clearing up everything that came their way, but as the game progressed and with many players picking up injuries the cavalier needed to score again or it would cost them as Warminster came back into the game second half, and eventually it did as wanderers refused to give up and after a challenge from butler in the box the Warminster striker made an Oscar winning dive and the referee pointed to the spot. 1-1
Cavalier were feeling the pressure but refused to give up, and having hit the woodwork 3 or 4 times it seemed as if nothing was going there way.
Mom ian Galloway, big Jez and jack continued to work hard in the middle and protected the back 3 as well as they could with super Jon doing his best forest gump impression and "just kept running" while roger and Adam continued to link up well as they have all season but cavalier just couldn't seem to find that second goal, until a foul from outside the opposition half gave them a lifeline and as big Jez Wiltshire who was dropped for the game but drafted back in due to lack of players stood over the ball, it had that David Beckham vs Greece feel all over again and the result was the same as the big man smashed the ball around the wall and into the top corner. The crowd went wild.
The cavalier owed a lot to will Elliott who made an absolute wonder save that was surely top corner bound, but somehow did enough to fly across goal like a golden eagle and palm it around the post
Dave young and Adam Bewley made way for Sam peacock and Neil fletcher who both made instant impacts with Sam running and sliding around like he was bambi on ice but putting in some good tackles to relieve pressure on the defence, and THE FLETCH didn't disappoint after a challenge on an opponent brought a face to face encounter of 2 of the beasts of the game and after some pushing and shoving of epic proportions that mirrored Matt and Scott's bloodbath the week before and much deliberation between themselves on who was the fatter of the two the game continued, the referee missing some very late tackles on THE FLETCH from the THE FLETCH of Warminster.
Tough game but 3 points. Temporarily top
