Man of the Match
Dan Williams
Well this team talk was up there with the 8 Words of Power (which must never be repeated)…Big Amit obviously wanted us to go in hard, saying ’50-50 balls, I want us to go in hard, 60 per cent - 40 per cent balls, go in hard, 1 per cent 99 per cent balls’ and here he faltered but the team were ready and shouted ‘Go In Hard!!’…and it came to pass…
I should add one of the paragraphs below is not one of mine and was written by Fat Dan – see if you can spot it!
Anyway this was a rollicking good game – very open, lots of chances, a lot of effort and no little skill…any spectator would have enjoyed it, had we any.
We started very well and had a couple of chances straight off before Fat Dan used his weight advantage to score.
With their keeper performing heroics between the sticks Dynamite Danno knew he had to pull out one magical spell from his bag of tricks and indeed, did not let the public down. A ferocious drag flick from the edge of the area was unleashed and a ball of fire headed for the top of the net and the insurance on the nets would have to be paid out.
Yes, right, that happened after 5 minutes, well, we continued to play well but Witney unfortunately appeared to have read last weeks report because they were a good passing side, they were also young, fit, skillful and pacey – 4 attributes I am not happy to see in an opposing team. They equalised 15 minutes later through a bit of a soft goal but we could have had a couple more goals before Adamski reverse-slapped in a shortie for a rather nice goal, gotta say that I go in for the Gordo deflection on shorts and as Adam hit it, I had my hand over my head for protection, he is a serious Big Hitter!! Second half was fast and open much like the first, we were kind of hanging on for a fair amount of it while also looking very dangerous but it was fair enough though disappointing when they equalised with 10 minutes to go – and we were pretty happy with a draw against a good team. Last 2 games have been great and we have played well – unfortunately we did not continue that this week against a poor Harrow side and lost 2-1, Shaun Smith scoring his first goal for the 4’s from one of our few decent passing moves. Unfortunately for them, we discovered they had turned up with at least 2 first team players in their side – they didn’t play but their captain also played in the 1’s and he did play so we will have to see what the league makes of this
