If someone in the hockey club can solve the technical issues and high incident of death associated with time travel, it would come in very handy as we could then go back and erase the first half of the 1’s and 3’s games and all of the 2’s and 4’s. Thanks God for the 5’s who lost a close and rather fun game 4-2 or 4-3 to Marlow…I am not sure of so many scorers I will run out of nom de plumes so will update at some point…The 1’s were 5 down at half time and then really turned their performance round and gave as good as they got in the second half only conceding one more to second-placed Spencer.

Moving swiftly past the 2’s whose 2 goals came from (any 2 of 12 but probably not the Croxster in goal who I think we can assume was very busy and had by far the best game for our lot). The 4’struggled against a very experienced Eastcote side but we did get a goal!

That leaves the 3’s who have now done the league double over Eastcote 4’s – ok they were both draws but, in the season we have had, they are the new ‘wins.’ 2-0 down and lucky to be that at half time, Gordo had come off because of a calf strain but with absolutely no sign of any sympathy or even the offer of a little massage from our team groupies, he decided to come back on. Anyway, off the back of  a pretty ordinary collective team talk, there was no right to expect our second half performance which was rather good!

Balls were stopped, passes were made, and quite often went to our own players, and we forced 16 after 16, almost National League standard! We still didn’t look like scoring though and it looked as if we would slide to another no-pointer when bang we scored 2 goals in 4 minutes…first one was quite fortunate as Gordo played a hopeful ball into the D and their poor centre-back receiving no call from the keeper, dived full-length and stopped the ball right into the onrushing Captain Shaggy who did his best to miss the chance but eventually poked it in!  Next a sweeping move from the back involving little Stef, Shaggy and Jonno down the left ended with the cross bouncing through to the top of the D where ‘Ding Dong’ Bell took one touch and batted it like a bullet past the statuesque ‘keeper…what a goal, well worth waiting the 7 seasons for (well feels that long)…we were delirious and good thing his missus wasn’t there as she would have been very jealous of all the sugar that came his way. So a fantastic point and we are off the bottom!!!!
