Having been requested by Pete Madden to give him plenty of copy, here goes Popeye,Popeye,Popeye Popeye etc., etc., etc.
Well he did score for the Blacks in a thrilling 4-4 draw.
More than could be said for Mark and Nick for their Black and Red sides respectively. Whilst their shooting might have been fierce it was certainly not on target.
Had there been an award for the worst shot, however, then Tomas’ effort would have won hands down the ball being lost after clearing the 30 foot boundary net. A small blip in an otherwise splendid performance with four goals which Col the Manc deemed unsavable- well he would say that wouldn’t he.
Tomas was the only scorer for the Reds in a thrilling and close run encounter.
On his return from Italy, Diego again showed his class in midfield and celebrated his first match since September with a fine goal to add to POPEYES spectacular counter.
The other two Black goals were in no way clean cut efforts. Tony J ( who later hit the post with a fine effort) was heavily involved being the last player to kick the ball on both occasions.
At this point special mention must be made of the diminutive Reds ‘keeper who had some spectacular saves from Mark, Popeye and co…..Step up Tony B.
Two efforts from Tony “Hubcaps” Jones were not going in, but for the first one Tony B. somehow contrived to fumble the ball of his chest and drag it between his legs and just over the line.
Although not quite in the same class the second counter was clearly in the O.G. category.
Sorry Tony but if you were not such a moaning face the goals would have been credited to you. As it is they must be registered to Tony B.
Great contest finished with eight goals equally sheared.
