Colins Cogitations

With Sean back, game 1 will get it’s own eye witness report, whether it’ll be accurate only Sean knows.

Game 2 aka

A game of 2 Keiths

Every fan knows you can’t defend a 1-0, 2-0 maybe even a 3-0 lead with over half a game to go, well buckle up for a game of literally 2 halfs/Keiths

This 5 aside game had plenty of space for pass and move football.

Blacks raced into aforementioned 3-0 lead with 2 from Dave 🚖 and Prak and they even had a saved penalty by Keith after he’d handled Paul’s shot outside his area.

In fact reds always seemed to have one more player with Keith playing a Sweeper Keeper role, whilst steadfast Eddie kept to his area and pulled of some good saves.

Once Paul and Dave 🚖 had added 4&5 blacks had this game well and truly won………

Around this point Keith handed the gloves to Dave 👑 who also had to pick the ball out of the net as Dave 🚖 completed his hattrick

Feeling quite cocky Blacks let their guards drop and suddenly fresh legged Keith popped up with a shot on target, Eddie saved but somehow the ball agonisingly spun over the line. 6-1 Black, no worries they can have a consolation

Then Keith hit the net again, Glyn scored straight through Eddie’s legs 6-3, could this really be happening?

Blacks passing got sloppy and Keith scored a third following a deflection 6-4

However blacks had managed to score enough first and the game ended with no further additions.

Man of the match doesn’t always go to someone on the losing team, but involved somehow in 8 goals and a penalty save you couldn’t help but acknowledge Keith’s involvement in this game

Seans Summary

On an overcast sunless morning an uninspired group of players took to the pitch. The reds lead by skippy the Fox and Dave owl both sent on trial from game two to game 1 looked to the more lightly when ball was kicked off. Lightly to do what I have no idea.

Backed up by a crew of seasoned veterans, of many pub crawls. Super keeper Fred the gunner was like lighting in goal, with Brian contemplating the meaning of life at the back, Pete the Fish dazed and confused. Legs Ian lost in space and Ken also a bit lost.

Reds got off to the better start, passing the ball around and threatening to shoot or something.

But it was another Flying Dutchman, trotting Dutchman Gert, who struck 1st for black. With the whitest man Scotland has to offer Steve, London’s biggest hope or disappointment,  big Graham in the middle Blacks began to look unbeatable when Bambi stayed upright long enough to score a second.

H was commanding the back with the bucket hat head Boris blocking every shot the Reds tried. In the 2nd period the trotting Dutch man Gert made it 3-0 Blacks.

The color was draining from the Reds bibs when Ken showed up to slot the ball past Steve, not Tom Jones, in the black goal. Somewhere in the 3rd period there were a flurry of goals for both side Dave the owl , on trial, scored for reds, bringing them within striking distance at 3-2 Blacks.

At  some point in proceeding, Steve, not Tom Jones, went tearing down the right flank, latching on to a pass from North Londons big man to rocket a shot pass Fred in the Reds goal.

At this point the ref, your truly, had a brain fart and forgot the score. 4-2 Blacks I think?  I believe the score end 6-5 or 7-6. (eds note, the game finished level at 7 each)

With Gert scoring at will it seemed and Reds with Bambi leading the line relying on scores from Dave the owl and skippy the Fox in the middle, which didn’t come easy.

Once again not animals were hurt in the making of this production.Only a few egos were damaged.
