A cracking 12 v 11 tonight.
It was a fantastic blend of the old and the new with the return of old favourites not seen on the grass this year such as Henry and Merrick and the arrival on the scene of miscellaneous continentals who played with panache and verve.
As Muhammad Ali wisely said "Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, and a vision" and the bibless definitely displayed vision as they strutted their stuff, passing the ball seamlessly as they made incisive attacks with penetrative passing movements.
But, the bibbed ones were not overawed and they remembered the wise words of Gandhi, who once said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" and sure enough they won the game 2-1 with a splendid display of spirit, resolve and determination.
With so many heroes on the pitch it seems invidious to pick out one man of the match, but our anonymous judge wishes to highlight the displays of Rob and Pedro for the bibless and Jason and Josep for the bibbed ones.
Rob and Pedro were reminiscent of Gerrard and Torres at their best mesmerising the opposition and creating numerous chances for their side, whilst Jason and Josep were akin to Ballack and Lampard breaking down attacks and swiftly turning the tables on the opposition, constructing lethal attacks from an initially defensive position.
