It was the best of times; it was the worst of times as the aged and aging bladder kickers walked onto the hallowed plastic of the Estadio de Benalmadena.

Two evenly matched sides were chosen by Dave the fox, but unfortunately, they were playing in game number 2.

Normally, Its Ron Harris that was late for the ball, however our own Cinderella, Steve, who volunteered to Ref missed the first 10 minutes and consequently the first goal, scored by Dave the owl.

Much of the first 10 minutes was an evenly matched affair with some good soccerball being played by both teams but after a period of ‘after you Claude’ by your correspondent and the man who keeps a tight control of the WFS purse ( except when he’s sat on it),  the black Socceroo’s found themselves 3 goals down, 2 of which scored by Dave the Owl and the other by Bambi.

As the temperature increased, the black team came back into the game and got a goal back, and then another. 3-2.

The red team, ably led by Dave the owl and Boris through the middle, took control of the game and went 5-2 up, with Dave TO completing his hattrick.  Meanwhile, the red Goalie, Paul, made some amazing saves and kept the blacks from getting back into the game, The Black gladiators also prevented the Reds from further increasing there lead for a whole 18 minutes.

Final period saw the blacks come back into the game and pull back to 5-4, which is how the game finished.

Man of the match for his hattrick, Dave the Owl and the referee of the match was able to take his whistle back to the shop and get his money back as it had been unused.

Following the game, players from both sides adjourned to the bar with the intention of seeing how much of the kitty they could spend.

Its also a good time for the maintenance guys at the polideportivo who have got 2 months to repair the fencing around the playing area from the excess of very high, wide and handsome shots from the socceroos.

Our next match starts 1st September so, be there or be square!

Match 2 report by Fez

Final match report of a fabulous 24/25 season and as the score suggests 11 – 6 the game was up there with the very best of them, reports el Fuego 🔥

As the fans know the last game of the season is played by the most committed pro’s and kids who get a chance to prove themselves with the big boys… the old pros often have an injury and that’s where the story begins…

🕷 Sean although out with an injury to one of his many legs, turned up to catch wayward shots or was it to enjoy a few bevies after ?

Dave 🚖 was still on the beach up Norf and Rory🍞 still in Firenze, Dave King 🤴 working, Rick 🎸 stuck in Glasto traffic, Martin ⿮ back to preseason training with Hearts to name a few

Game 2 squad was decimated with injuries & players already on the beach so el Zorro 🦊 had to shuffle his pack from the physio bench 😳 making himself unavailable with a potential 3 months (sorry 3 days) before his next appearance….

The Blacks had the following committed end of season pros…Gary ✈ made a detour on his latest flight to Malaga and brought in Matts 🇸🇪 for his second appearance in recent weeks, Jim ⿮ broke off from contract talks after his recent goal haul with the Dons (Wimbledon), Dave 🐝 was feeling lonely without another 3 Dave’s being named in the team..Alvin 🐿 got early advice from his daughters about running, finally Keef 👻 who has had an injury problem came out of retirement, game 1.. more time on his hands of late we await what he’s been doing but allegedly it involves lip stick which was left on a glass 😳 forensic investigation on going… On paper this looked a good balanced and capable team…🤷🏻‍♂

The Reds had another untested team so could they click before being 5-1 down last time out?? Mark 🌲 MK 2 who scored with a wonder strike last game, Kev 🌲 MK 1 who has a telepathic understanding with his younger brother, Tommy 🔫 who has been in Ref Johns head for most of this year and has clocked up the most warnings and ⏰ outs (AKA Tommy Time), Prak 💈 who had the unfortunate luck to trip early in the year and fracturing his wrist, however has returned to form in the past few weeks, el Perro 🐶 nipping at the ankles of the opposition chipping in with a goal or two… finally Colin⛵ after injury and a spell reffing game 1 stepped back into it with ease and looked like he hadn’t been away our youngster !

Often overlooked and vilified our ref John 🚒 was again on the ball as the reds raced into a 5 goal lead, Prak 💈 breathed on the box and penalty was awarded…. The two tier approach continued with several blacks being reminded if they went into the box again a penalty would be awarded 😳.. heyho the reds pressed on and went 8-1 up… the smaller pitch reduced running for a few minutes before 🐿🐶 received a number of warnings coming close to Tommy Time….. Spirit of the game restored Ref John 🚒 maintained his authority and managed the game to the high standards achieved by Pierluigi Collina with the refs decision being final !

Well the reds scored 11 and the blacks a mere 6…

Due to intoxication and celebrating the end of season and his wedding anniversary full match facts haven’t fully returned..

Black’s goal scorers Jim ⿮, Matts 🇸🇪, Gary ✈, Alvin 🐿

Red’s goal scorers Fez 🐶, Mark 🌲, Kev 🌲, Prak 💈

It was another great game at Benalmadena Polideportivo followed by a few jugs & tapa @Grada8 Sport Bar.

Thank you to the committee guys, the lads who set up and tidy away making it a fabulous club to be part of… the staff at the bar who keep the jugs filled when H isn’t looking 👀, but he does have the all seeing 👁….

Take care and have a great summer everyone, keep in shape as the new season is a few months away..

The drinking club that plays football!
