16 Dec 2007: Rusthall 1:4 Grasshoppers December 20, 2007
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentThis match represented our opportunity to set the record straight against Rusthall, who beat us 1-0 in the first game of the season- our only loss in the league so far. The pitch must have been close to being declared unplayable, with frost making it hard and slippery, but the ref decided that it was playable.

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe most amazing thing about this game was that it was played at all. There was no standing water on the pitch, but the combination of the gale force wind and driving rain/hail, which kept up for the whole match, made these the worst conditions that any of our players are ever likely to play in. In the circumstances, the players from both sides deserve great credit for producing any kind of game, let alone the exciting end to end cup tie, which was eventually decided in the very last minute of the game. I’m told that the Grasshoppers medical insurance will cover the players for the pneumonia most of them are bound to contract over the next few days.
