A cracking 6 players v 6 players match tonight.
A very even contest ended in a hard-fought 9-9 draw.
Merrick, Ben, David, Roy, Andrew and Yusuf oozed quality all over the park. When they weren't making surging runs forward, they were marshalling their defensive forces with admirable discipline.
It would be tempting to say that last week's man of the match Dwayne dominated the other side's performance with his lethal finishing being responsible for 7 of the 9 goals. However, in truth it was a great team performance from Dwayne, Paul, Graeme, Luke, Tim and Danny.
With so many sparkling performances (including a noteworthy spell in goal from Luke that probably saved his side a few goals and therefore the match) it is an invidious task to pick a man of the match, however, needs must, and this week, the coveted title goes to Merrick, who demonstrated all the qualities of a midfield general akin to an amalgam of Ces Fabregas, Colin Bell and Alan Ball.

Match Report 20 November 2008
A great game tonight. 5 v 5 on the large pitch ensured a fast flowing match. It ended 9-5 (I think).
Whilst Graeme, Luke, Merrick and Rob all showed good quality combined with admirable fitness, it was not enough to stifle the sizzzzzling skills of Yusuf, Andrew, Tim and Paul alongside the man of the match Dwayne.

Dwayne made a welcome return from injury and showed superb skill and a great football sense which came to the fore with a magical goal that combined a back heel and a back kick. Cristiano Ronaldo would have been proud.

Match report 13 November 2008
This report will be short as unfortunately I was unable to attend the match myself.
However, I did have my spies and scouts in attendance and the word has come back that the match was of top-notch quality and the consensus was that man-of-the-match award should go to Andrew, who displayed great individual flair as well as combining particularly well with Yusuf.
It was a hard-fought 4 v 4 contest with the match divided by a single goal.

Match Report 6 November 2008
The atmosphere was worthy of the San Siro with fireworks on and off the pitch.
It was back to 4v4 tonight after the great turnout of 15 last week and so we played on the smaller version of the pitch.
The newcomers, Mark, Andrew and Yussuf showed some lovely moves and proved a great addition to the pool of players, whilst old-timers Martin, David M, and Danny put in characteristically determined performances.
Once again Tim showed his customary flair and silky style, but having consulted the Prozone statistics, Man of the Match goes to Ben who was on fire and resembled a cross between Stephen Gerrard and Francisco Torres (the two best players in the Premiership).
