What a cracker! It was an amazing 10 versus 10 tonight and it would take the judgement of Solomon to chose from the 18 fine male displays and the 2 female ones and select just one person of the match.
Solomon isn't here so I'll have to make a stab at it.
The coloured shirts won 4-2 thanks to great displays from Tim, Benjamin, Tom, 3 Italians/Brazilians, Andrew, Yusuf, Jon, and Chris.
It was great to see Andrew and Yusuf link up like the old days in Camden Town. Jon and Chris have the footballing brains of Cloughie and Sir Alex and were masters at using the ball effectively, whilst Tim, Tom and Benjamin were dynamos using their fitness to cover every blade of grass and barren divet on the pitch. Meanwhile the three Italians proved highly effective particularly in attack with Pedro playing like a cross between Paolo di Canio and Felipe Inzaghi.
The other team on the receiving end of the scoreline - I hesitate to call them losers as there were no losers in this match - saw marvellous efforts from Graeme, Paul (John J Part), Rob, Roy, Danny, 3 Italians, Dave and Ed.
Bravery award must go to Paul, who played practically the whole match with an irksome injury (John J briefly came on as sub and flew around the field); Roy, Dave and Ed were magnificent at probing the opposition with triangles worthy of Ajax in the eighties, Rob made a magnificent return and made invaluable contributions at both ends of the pitch. The three Italians proved effective in midfield and expertly tracked back and broke down many a promising attack from the opponents, but man of the match goes to Graeme - who marshalled the defence and midfield brilliantly, made valuable interceptions, found space and distributed the ball with pinpoint accuracy and poise.
