Hard Earned

Phew, that was hard work. I had loads of plans for tonight. A new stop the nonsense post, news of our first Away day of the season, and an update of the trials and tribulations of the Der Lowen. All put on the back burner, after tonight's epic tussle down the Wood. The teams were a an odd mix, long time MoFo'er Young Gaz found himself representing the Righteous, whilst well known lady slayer Two Scoop, got in touch with his feminine side, turning out for the female dodgers of the JMF. Big Phil took the place of an absent Shouty, and Funky brought along a virgin to the weekly mayhem in the shape of Dazzling Daz. Throw in a returning Dr Shotgun to the Euro fold, and the game was set fair. From the off, the nefarious MoFo looked to have the legs to cause some serious problems for the high flying Euro boys, but speed is not everything. A tight game plan was kept throughout, and everybody put in a shift between the sticks, especially Big Phil, to frustrate the fleeter shirt lifters. A slender advantage was gained, thanks to the industrious running of Young Gaz, Clogs, and the good Doctor, as I stemmed the tide at the rear. A two goal margin was maintained for most of the match, but as the game entered it's final ten minutes, a concerted burst of attacking football saw the girls in red claw their way back to level pegging, thanks to a brace of goals for the rookie Dazzling. Could they force their way through to break the deadlock, and stem a miserable run of form?

Could they bolloxs. The scent of victory seemed to catch them by surprise, and as they tried to come to terms with the possibility of of winning, the grizzled veterans in white seized their opportunity. Not once, nor twice. Not even three times. But a rapid four goal burst put paid to any illusions that the limp wristed followers of Jamon had of securing victory. The defeat suffered by the Euro boys a couple of weeks ago, looks to be nothing more than an aberration, as the White Juggernaut continues is unstoppable run to be crowned the King of the Wood 2009.
