AFTER A COMFORTABLE 3-2 COUNTY CUP WIN OVER F.C.BOCA,IT WAS BACK TO THE LEAGUE AND WHAT A GAME WAS IN PROSPECT AGAINST THE WHITE BEAR. IN A GAME PLAYED IN ATROCIOUS CONDITIONS AND WITH BOTH SIDES OBVIOUSLY LACKING IN ATTACKING OPTIONS,THIS MEANT THE 1ST GOAL WAS MEGA IMPORTANT,UNFORTUNATELY HALF-WAY THROUGH THE 1ST HALF A MISTAKE BY THE NORMALLY RELIABLE TOM LET IN THEIR STRIKER TO SLOWLY ROLL THE BALL PAST A BEWILDED ADVANCING BEARDO. 1-0 TO THE BEAR BUT DID OUR HEADS DROP? NO!! ON THE STROKE OF HALF-TIME STEVE SQUEEZED IN GINGE'S CORNER AT THE NEAR POST 1-1 GAME ON. WITH THE WIND AND RAIN IN OUR FAVOUR WE DOMINATED THE 2ND HALF, BUT WE STRUGGLED TO BREAK DOWN THE STUBBORN BEAR DEFENCE,THAT WAS UNTIL THE LAST 20MINS WHEN WE DECIDED TO REALLY GO FOR IT BY SENDING KAV UPFRONT. WITH THE WEATHER WORSENING AND BIG KAV IN THEIR FACES THEY FINALLY CRACKED WHEN GINGE FED KAV INSIDE THE AREA,HE TURNED AND BLASTED IT IN THE BACK OF THE NET WITH ONLY MINS REMAINING. GAME OVER A THOUGHRALLY DESERVED 2-1 VICTORY AND A VERY GOOD TEAM PERFORMANCE ESPECIALLY IN THOSE CONDITIONS(I THINK I'M STILL DRYING OUT,HIP AND ALL,THANKS STEVE!). CONGRATS TO BRAD FOR HIS FULLY DESERVED M.O.M AGAINST F.C.BOCA AND TO GINGE FOR HIS O/STANDING DISPLAY AGAINST WHITE BEAR WHICH EARNED HIM M.O.M. BACK TO THE CUP THIS WEEK AND ITS THE INTERMEDIATE CUP, A CUP WE ALL BELIEVE WE CAN WIN! IT WONT BE EASY AS WE KNOW HOP POLES ARE A VERY GOOD SIDE, BUT IF WE SHOW THE SAME FIGHTING SPIRIT WE HAVE SHOWN IN RECENT WEEKS WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT!! SEE YOU ALL SUNDAY MICK(A VERY SOGGY CHAIRMAN)
