Match Report

Written by Ed Johnson

In what can only be called a case of "picking fatigue," Ed was thrusted into the limelight again, this time with Dave O as the opponent. Ed, given the option for extra man or first pick went extra man. About 60 seconds into the picking process, Ed realised he had nicely fucked that decision up!

The game started evenly, and it was slightly against the run of play that Dave's yellows took the lead with a nicely worked move. But the white's continued to play some decent stuff and scored a deserved equaliser. The whites then had a few chances to take the lead with the yellow's intermittently hitting Ed's woodwork. However, the floodgates then well and truly opened with a quick burst from the yellow's resulting in Ed getting RSI from picking the ball out the net so often.

The night's controversy was the incident leading to the yellow's 4th (I think) goal. Did Paul Hackett jump, or was he pushed... we shall never know! The white's continued to battle on and score a few decent consolation goals to make the score not look quite so ugly... Ok it was an 8-4 battering. 

Congrats to Dave O on the win. Nick S a very solid performance popping up with a strong hat-trick. MOTM must be the tireless Jay up front for the yellows with 5 goals. If Liverpool have had enough of Darwin, the scouts need to be at Vauxhall's next time!
