Match report 1 October

A cracking 6v5 graced the new winter Thursday nights at Camden. With a nice level pitch people were stroking the ball about like billy-o and there was a great deal of space that saw some startling runs and 1-2s.

I'll say it straight out tonight there will be no one man of the match. Everybody has a claim on the title.

Once more Yusuf, Andrew (bravely battling illness), and John combined well and if the surface would have been scorchable their running and incisive passing would have scorched the surface.

It was a welcome return for Dave A who won crucial ball and set up many an attack. Dan B and Jason were their usual blend of strength and agility.

However they were overcome (just) by the flair and pace of Pedro; Dwayne, who gave a midfield masterclass; Dickon, who gained possession and with poise stroked the ball around; and Nick, who was scored a hat trick and yet found the energy to be a stalwart in defence.
