Time until the next game at Benalmadena Polideportivo

Slow Farts Report by Steve C

Reds 3 Blacks 3

With June temperatures on the rise quite a few of the slow farts were pleased to be playing in their game today!

Keith welcomed all to the Monday session and introduced some returners, Geoff and Alvin. He also welcomed new player Steve Jones to the fraternity, who from now on for some reason would be known as Rick.

Keith again got back on his soap box to extol the need for all to take a turn in goal. Group photos then Kick Off…

The blacks who were a player short today, two if you count the Commander, organised themselves well with the use of a rush goalie to counter the advantage of the reds.

With Kevo and Alan at the back, Terry and Mick in midfield, Rick was making some dangerous forays down the wing. However, the game remained goalless until just before half-time when Geoff, in goal poacher mode, found himself in the clear and scuttled a shot into the corner of the net.

The game remained tight in the second half but the reds managed to get themselves briefly level through Dave the owl.

2 goals put the blacks into a two goal lead with 10 minutes remaining. Kevo and the Commander were both inspired in goal and blocked goal bound efforts from Ken, Bambi and Dave the bee.

With 5 minutes to go Bambi pulled one back for the reds and the rumour on the street is that the shot went through Kevo’s legs.

Of course this will need to be fact checked later. With time now running out the blacks were holding out for their deserved victory, but some excellent attacking play from Ken, Dave S and Bambi set up Pete who crashed an unstoppable first time thunderbolt into the roof of the net.

Goal of the season material indeed and Fish later remarked he modelled his strike on Keith’s recent late goals.

With the game at 3-3 the Commander pulled up stumps for full-time perhaps fearful of losing another late goal.

Well done to the blacks on a great game denied at the end by a wonder strike.

We’re back on Thursday and the Commander is in charge so you better be on your best behaviour.
