ORANGES 4 v YELLOWS 0
Yet another good turnout at the PoliDeportivo on Thursday with the score not truly reflecting a really close and entertaining game.
After Kevo’s usual match warm up routine and whilst Keith was taking the statutory team photograph the Yellows picked up there first injury in shape of Maurice aka ‘Bambi’ who pulled a groin muscle.
To his credit, he continued playing albeit struggling when afterwards Keef was heard to quip to him let me know how things DEVELOP with your injury so as to keep everyone in the picture!
Adrian easily the most dangerous attacker for the Yellows was generally well shackled by a strong four man Oranges defence ably led by Bob the builder.
However, early in the match on one of the rare occasions he escaped his markers, he hit a terrific shot which was bound for the top corner of the net until Gazza in goal brilliantly tipped the ball over the crossbar.
Somewhat against the run of play Tony W put the Oranges in front with a smartly taken goal following a flowing attack by the Oranges.
At the first drinks break, Keef was seen leaving the pitch only to return dragging a spectator by the ear who had been innocently sat watching the game.
The mistake he made was to give him an Orange vest as Michel or Stan Miguel as the boys called him scored 2 goals and played brilliantly.
Much to his delight, the mine host of the Lilac Tree scored the third goal for the Yellows, his first since becoming a member.
Subsequently the match had to be delayed for several minutes whilst he did a full circuit of the pitch celebrating his goal!
No easy task with all the ‘timber’ he is carrying. Needless to say Terry took no real part in the remainder of the match.
Gazza scored a terrific long range shot, which flew by the not so agile Bambi in goal, only to have it disallowed for an infringement of shirt pulling by one of his team mates.
Surprisingly this decision was made by Bob the builder his team captain. Somewhat surprisingly Keef the self appointed referee playing for the Yellows did not interject!
Steve W, aka shoe laces, only seemed to realise why he kept falling over was when a team member told him that the laces of his new white boots should not be tied together as that was the reason he kept falling over.
He was later seen in Mothercare buying some Velcro laced boots!
Dave L for the Yellows and Olaf both had solid games as did Martyn for the Oranges.
Next match at PoliDeportivo is Monday 24th, 10.30 for 11am start.
And Finally…
A big thankyou from us all at Benalmadena for your very kind donation, which was enjoyed by all!
