Match Report

Written by Brendan Crilley

1st pick allowed me opportunity to chose a balance of experience and flare. The ever reliable Harvey and Bri at the back with Tom supporting as centre back and a balanced midfield with Gary W, Jamie and Cush allowing Richie with his man beard to cause havoc up front. 


James team included the extra man, but I was very happy with my selection, unfortunately it seemed my selection weren’t happy with me or the same selection. 


Rarely has a game been played when a contender for MoM is the actual mitre match ball. It seemed determined to split, bounce, spin and roll in favour of the whites. I’m certain that the extra man had a remote control attached to that ball. 


Nicks header apart, all the goals were easily avoidable but the footy gods determined that the lucky bounce or deflection would result in a goal. 


Fair play to the whites who played a simple game and managed to control the play throughout. I knew after the first three goals in the first 3 minutes that this was going to be a long night. Battered bruised but still at the pub! Good luck Jay in the next round.


MoM is shared between the mitre football and Chris for his hat trick and especially decent volley.
