Regents Park welcomed seven hearty warriors into its fold. The conditions were good. We had the whole of Gloucester Green to ourselves and the surface was flat and true.
Graeme, Paul and Danny were pitted against Tim, Yussuf and David, with Daniel playing half-an-hour for each side. Tim, Yusuf and David triumphed 7-5.
Tim relished the grass surface with dangerous dribbles reminiscent of Aaron Lennon and effective one-twos that had the hallmarks of a young Johann Cryff.
Yussuf strikes fear into the heart of any defence. At times, you could have been forgiven for thinking you were watching Wayne Rooney.
David May was a revelation, He scored a scorcher and had a couple of powerful strikes ruled just over and round the bar. Meanwhile breaking down many an attack.
Graeme, Paul, Daniel and Danny battled like beavers, and left no stone unturned in their attempts to quell the force they were facing.
Graeme had the footballing brain of Archie Gemmell and stroked the ball around, keeping possession and creating numerous attacks, Paul had the effectiveness of Billy Bremner, regularly finding space and unleashing several strikes on goal, Daniel had the craftsmanship of Johnny Giles, with incisive runs and accurate passes.
It was a very close call for man of the match with many of the players having strong claims, but this week's winner is Tim.
