Maidonians Top Drawer A good result against third place White Notely and a well -earned draw - with Johnny Mann urging our too polite team to call for f*#king everything and leading by example he was soon shouting expletives at the ref for a penalty. The Ref pointed out we hadnt kicked off yet. (Johns a West Ham thug supporter) Unfazed by the speed of the vets league young colt John Cheesewright notches up yet another fierce low driven goal to give us an early lead. Whispering Bob was led from the pitch after 4 minutes having soiled himself but not before making his mark, which we cleared up. Bob was given a flag but was unable to establish the correct timing only waving to surrender. On came Newts and was soon getting involved dislocating body parts in the process. A shoulder & knee replacement should see him fit for next week. Not realising Notleys 6'6" skinny long haired striker who had scored 7 of the 9 goals against us last time had had his hair cut - we, for a while, let this 6'6" skinny short haired bloke run around at will and they punished us with 2 well taken goals just before half time. A close game with all men playing well, Manager Chris had to bring on that eager phsyco sub, me, ..anyway half time talk went like so: 'Belly' 'wot' - 'you come off' - 'wot' I come off last week' 'yes so did I' ' why me' ' you're smallest' 'ertcha no polo for you' 'dont eat polos' and on that last word Manager puts his foot down - and off comes Danny Weaver for 15 instead. Second half Vinny and the defence holds strong and links well with the midfield to put Notley under the cosh for a while, whilst containing Notleys danger man between them. New boy Danny ( loadsaskill) Waldon was turning his defender inside out and had to be dragged off for a breather. Dan Weaver comes back on and Chris hands over to 49 year old kid brother Dave, and the fresh legs put Notley on the back foot, It was just a matter of time and it happened to be myself, Lovell, with Cheesy holding defenders off, allowed me to jink ( yes jink) into the box and scored a half decent goal. My euthoria was shortlived when during the celebration of my goal with my team mates I was inappropiately touched. I think it was one of the new boys because Noels injured. I was reluctant to score another goal after that. That said Tony Newton could have nicked the game in the dying minute but for a fine tackle by myself ensuring the draw. He wasn't happy but may see the funny side if we're not relegated. Manager Chris Rowlatt drops Belly for one game for a half time incident and insists we must win next week or he'll go bananas.
Hurry back Matey - journalism not my game
