A cracking 6v6 tonight with the bibs edging out the bibless 14-12.
The bibbed featured Dwayne, David, Paul O'C, newcomer Tim, Luke, and Russian Davide; whilst the bibless had the formidable force of Nick, Dickon, Daniel, Francesco, Russian Arshan, and Danny.
We are running out of hyperboles to describe the multi-talented Dwayne. Suffice it to say, he had the control and vision of Zidane coupled with the decisive runs of Alan Hudson; David played a top notch game and scored a brace of goals - one worthy of Thierry Henry without even needing to handle it; Paul O'C ran a masterclass in midfield and controlled the play in the manner of Luis Figo crossed with Gareth Barry; newcomer Tim was pure quality possessing the firepower and accurate passing of David Beckham with the footballing sense of Teddy Sheringham, Luke played another stormer proving a real handful making him more of a threat than Craig Bellamy at his best; Russian Davide controlled the defence very much in the manner of Richard Dunne.
Meanwhile the bibless deserved plaudits too. Nick mesmerised all over the park passing and dribbling like Johann Cryff; Dickon was his usual powerful and thoroughly effective presence combining the defensive qualities of Nobby Stiles with the attacking style of Martin Peters; Daniel played as if he had not been away and created numerous chances whilst winning an exorbitant number of 50:50 balls - reminiscent of Patrick Viera; similarly Francesco was back and on fire showing the skills that have seen him likened to Jairzinho and Tostao, whilst Russian Arshan displayed more silky skills than Andriy Arshavin.
The bibless came from behind to take the lead with 5 minutes to go before the bibbed showed great character to come back and win at the death.
