Tom was distraught when he heard about our result and who can blame him?
We played the North Shore International men of mystery and we bloody well lost and surrendered the top spot, dropping to third in the league. The score was 4-3 with goals from Pat (left footer), Dori (traditional belter) and Hedgerow (side footer) but there should have been more because we were the better team ... no really, we were the better team. We created more chances, had more possession and were the better team ... and we were better than them. The Internationals played OK but did not deserve to win the game because we were better than them ... quite a bit better, not that I'm bitter or biased or anything. The Internationals used a secret code language to try and confuse us ... I believe this language is know as Italian ... and it is quite underhanded trick if you ask me. They used the top secret "Italian" language to communicate among themselves and they used a lot of hand waving and they shouted things too ... all very tricky!
Rob was out because he has a dodgy back but otherwise we were close to full strength and Captain Flicky did his utmost to inspire but it was not to be. We did make a couple of slip ups at the back but, and I want to make this absolutely clear, we were still definitely better than them. Nevertheless they punished us for the couple of slip ups. They did score one decent goal ... a belter from outside the box, but (and I want to be clear about this) it was really their only bonafide goal. After the game we adjourned pitch-side and Paschal cooked up a passel of burgers and dogs on the grill. Paschal kept the burgers juicy with a gasoline marinade and the ensuing cloud of smoke could be seen from the International Space Station.
Next week we play Boxford and I know that a few of the chaps are missing the game but I am going on record right now and predicting that we will give them a tonking ... a damned good tonking at that!
