Castlehurst 1 vs 0 The Coach

Once again the two local teams met, with all memories pushed aside from the not so glorious final. With a 15 man squad, chomping at the bit to play in our first friendly, Mr Cupples arrives for the first time this season and within 5 minutes of the starting lineup being announced, and cupples finding out he's keeping warm the Dame Judy AGAIN, he amazingly finds a bruise on the end of his toe and protests his reasons for not being able to play, i say, thank god for that bruise!!!!!
By using the role on and role off system, all players played a part in the emphatic win, which in turn allowed Dangerous Dave Parker more minutes resting, than actually playing, and also Stu '50 Cent' Squint not to collect any injuries to his finger nails or disturb the levels of acid in his body.

All players played well, however, Stu 'Cadfael' Horton failed to clear his lines for the first time in his history, and decided to push the smallest player on the pitch (not Dave Parker) to the floor, for having a similar hair style to himself. Well done Stu!!!!!

The game itself highlighted many positives. Weaver plays better in Griffs boots, just shows a poor workman cant blame his tools, Grogan can play left back, Dave is starting on the dirty wench only when the boy Toon is available and Lloydy cannot pass wind!!!!

A great goal seperated the teams from the first half, i still see it as an own goal, but the boy Toon claimed it, from his superb performance on the right side of midfield, the lad is chasing De Jauncey for the best Pretty Boy look, by using hair straighteners before kick off and carrying a small mirror in his kit bag!

The Man of the Match award, goes to player who was always in the right place at the right time, won every ball in the air and on the deck, commanded and was the loudest, most intelligent player on the pitch (this description is from his warm up which he completed on his own), well done to Mark Hubbocks (pictured) for his excellent display at the back, which kept the defense as tight as James Coffmans wallet.

A big thank you to Phil 'Jeff Winter' Ryan for a fantastic display as referee, as he kept up with play and missed Stu throwing Uncle Fester over his knee. Mr Winter nearly awarded the Coach a penalty, that was until he realised the foul was not in the area all the way from the half way line, great vision there Phil.

A good all round display and a good first game, well done lads.
