A fantastic contest tonight saw 7 men take on 6.
The match started as usual at just after 7.30pm and conditions were cold but unspectacular. All that was to change. After 8.30pm every second saw another flurry of snow sweeping down on the back of a driving wind. The pitch started to resemble a picture called White by Mark Rothko.
Not since Shackleton and the crew of Endurance played ice football had brave men endeavoured to play football in such conditions.
The game nevertheless saw an abundance of quality and remained injury-free. Newbies Dan and Chris displayed the sort of cultured football that might see Mark Hughes jotting down ideas for the January window; V and Dwayne were outstanding in attack and scored a mix of solo efforts and team plays straight from the training ground; Paul, Yusuf, Andrew, John, and Matt were all assured in the middle of the park, whilst Luke, Nick and David were a harder nut to crack than Bolton when they were under Sam Allardyce.
Man of the match is V.
Well done to Andrew for organising this game, which proved a brilliant end to the season.
Happy New Year and See you all in 2010!
