Marblehead gets a tonking!

FIVE NIL !!!

We lined up 4-4-2 on a chilly early morning kick with the sun in our eyes and we had a close 45 minutes with a number of missed chances and a ball cleared off our line ... by this Limey bastard I should note. We went into the half tied at 0-0 but then everything changed. Captain Flicky got his foot on the ball and made at least three back heels to the opposition when easy passes to team mates were at hand. But, as with everything Captain Flicky does there is solid reasoning and it quite clearly triggered our goal fest. Walter made the first goal with a beautifully floated ball that Cain nodded in with his melon. Cain scored two on the day and Doug, Brahim and Oscar got the others.

After the game we feasted on sausage, onions and peppers prepared by Andy along with brownies and ice cream. The lads were feeling good and the consensus was that we played quite well. Tom kept a clean sheet and did not go mental even once which is both heartening and puzzling? Marblehead did fairly well in the middle but had very little up front and were obviously a bit dodgy at the back.

I am making a bold prediction that if we keep winning like this we should avoid relegation!
