19 Apr 2008: Grasshoppers 3:1 Langton Green
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentWe had a quick break and then it was straight into the second game. This time Cian won the toss and elected to kick downhill in the first half. This strategy worked well, as we went into a 2-0 lead at half time, with Robert scoring the pick of the goals, a cracker from just outside the box. Cian was injured in setting the goal up and came off for most of the second half, during which Langton Green put us under some serious pressure and scored a great goal themselves which gave Danny no chance. At 2-1, things were looking a bit shaky, until Keith brought back his captain and Cian almost immediately settled the nerves with a cool finish in a one on one with the keeper.

I’m not sure why the games were scheduled for their pitch, which was rubbish, rather than our much flatter stadium, but we took the disadvantage in our stride, as we did having to wear red bibs due to a colour clash.

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentAgain, I wasn’t at this match, but as you can see from the scoreline, it was pretty one sided. I’m told that Connor scored 7 goals, which is an achievement against any team. I hear Danny came out of goal and also got a few. Keith hasn’t given me a MoM name and it would be unfair of me to pick one without having been there. I can of course still give the CRAP award to Oskar for letting Connor score more goals than him!

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentI wasn’t actually at this match, so I can’t report other than as I’ve heard from various sources. It sounds as though the game was very similar to the last game between the two teams, except this time we held our nerve, finished our chances and defended better.
