Best result of the season and a good performance to go along with it. We started with the same team as last week albeit Meggsy replacing Crapper.
We started slow, and were made to pay, when we conceaded a string of throw ins. One of the throw ins found there number 10 who flicked it onto their striker to fire them one up.
The response was brilliant, as like last week we refused to roll over and fired back. A quite amazing free kick from Potterys number 13 was far to hot to hold and Bazza the brick followed up to nod the equaliser. Bazza is the clubs new second striker and has the legs to get forward to support Olly. Time and time again he did it to great effect. One minute he was helping the midfield out, the next he was right alongside Olly. At one stage i heard crys from the touchline that went "Who the fuck needs Stevie Gerrard, We got barrryyyyyy Ellement, la la la la la".
Now we were very much on top, and Chrispy and Meggsy were gettting particular joy on the wings, however it was to be a great solo effort from our goalscoring, points collecting, ghetto gangster tinted windows, fine collecting striker Olly to rattle the second in. Richy beat two players to put Olly through, he looked to be going away from goal until he unleashed a left foot strike that left there goalkeeper stranded. The touchline was ringing to the song "olly olly olly olly oi oi oi". It was like a carnival atmosphere on a wet morning at Branksome Rec.
The third goal came courtesy of another set piece, their midfielder were getting ankle kicking happy and Richy, Liam and Barry were the ones getting kicked. So cue another pin point free kick on to Ollys balding bonce, bottom corner, 3-1.
We had another chance to go even further ahead, however Mikey's shot, pass, fuck up went wide by only amatter of 20 feet.
The half time talk was concentrated on not being sloppy, being strong, compact etc...... So kick of the second half, the number 13 gets tackled, loses it, they shoot, balls gets deflected 3-2. I could have died. However we needed to respond well and that is what we did.
DH Brittania in search of an equaliser pushed men forward only to be halted for a very impressive back line and stubborn midfield. When we broke we broke like Brazil ala 1970. Our fourth goal was a fine break that saw Richy punish a slack centre back pass to fire in his second goal of the season.
The five goal was goal of the game, Army under pressure at the back found the simplest of passes to the number 13 who set Richy free. Richy pushed forward on a counter and saw Meggsy wide right. Meggsy put his head down go beyond their full back to produce a cross to find Barry who netted his second goal of the game and fourht of the season. A cracking goal.
We were on top, so made some changes. Matty came on for an injured Meggs and gave his usual which was 159 percent, Christer replaced Mikey who told me the following "Liam i am knackered, i think it is all the fat i am carrying". Christers second touch was a 30 yard goal. He said it was a shot as he saw the goalkeeper of the line. he he he he he.
At 6-2, we did become slightly sloppy and conceaded a penalty, however a sending of for them was not to mar a great result that saw us take DH unbeaten recold.
Well done all.
Man of The Match was Les who was outstanding a centre back won nearly everything in the air and never gave in to any challenges. Worked well with Army.
