Hard Won

It's not often you will hear me say this, but here goes. The better team, on the night, lost. A cobbled together JMF, shorn of all it's regulars bar Dead Eye, put in a heroic effort, that looked like reaping it reward, till they ran out of steam with the winning line in sight. It was hot, sticky and close down the Wood, and the opening exchanges were tight, till Shouty went in. It has always been feast or famine with the Right Honourable, and his first stint was definitely skinny, as the MoFo racked up a five goal lead. When he finally came out, we managed to pull within two goals, before Two Scoops decided to out clown the Shoutster. Not once, but twice, did Young Dan beat him from within his own half, as the Scoopmeister sat daydreaming. Once again we came within two scores, but they matched us time again, until Shouty decided to grant us the feast side of his keeping skills. It proved to be the straw that broke the camels back, as myself and Clogs pulled the game level, and then surged in to the lead via a couple of Two Scoops goals. But there was controversy at the death, The good Doctor had a very good penalty shout at the death, Two Scoops did appear to enter the penalty area, just as the Shotgun was preparing to empty both barrels. It looked a clear pen to me, but Dan was accused of shoving him in, so it was decided six of half a dozen of the other. The bell rang almost immediately, and a one goal victory was secured. Dead Eye summed it up it up thus "Now I know who gutted all those teams feel when they are beat one nil by a spawny Man Utd" I fear he has a point.

Anyway, it is our first back to back in months, and was badly needed. Normal service should resume next week, apart from Young Gaz for Luklear, as the rest of the limp wristed arse bandits make a return.
