30 Apr 2008: Tunbridge Wells 2:3 Grasshoppers May 5, 2008

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , trackback

This was a tricky game, played on a disgrace of a pitch against opponents who we had beaten by the narrowest of margins at our earlier meeting.  We were down to a squad of 12, with Michael being very unlucky to be named as sub, but the guys were lifted by the sight of

Taylor standing on the touchline cheering them on.

 

 

 

It took us a while to get the hang of trying to play passes though the various rivers running through the pitch and a few of the guys also caught their shirts and shorts on the fishing hooks of the anglers who were trout fishing around the centre circle.  But we eventually came to terms with the conditions and played the ball into the merely sodden green areas down the sides, which soon bore fruit.  Miles finished well halfway through the first half and then

Harrison did even better with a perfectly executed chip from outside the box.

 

 

 

Sadly we then exhibited one of our more annoying defensive traits and let Tunbridge back into the match when we repeated failed to clear and the ball eventually cannoned in off

Harrison .  We then allowed them to score again before the normal strong character of the team started to come through and we won the game with another Miles strike. 

 

 

 

But to be honest, at the end we were hanging on, with Robert again having to come off unwell and a lot of the others very tired in the heavy, muddy conditions.

 

 

 

Goals for Miles (2) and Harrison, Keith gave the MoM award to Miles for a hardworking and effective performance, with honourable mentions for Tom, Cian and Harry.  The CRAP award goes to

Harrison for the own goal and also for managing to get his foot run over after the game.  The award is shared by the stupid driver, whoever that is!

 

 

 

Two games left and one win needed.  Can we do it?  I think we all know the answer to that question.  Bring on Maresfield at the weekend.
