The weather was close to perfect for our second game of the season and it was a very pleasant drive out to leafy Concord especially after executing two successful bowel movements. This is the minimum required for this Limey before kicking a ball. I encourage all to follow my regime because emptying the tank before kick off really is the way to go. The plastic pitch was freshly mowed and our opponents were cordial despite a comment from a Scouser that he loved beating up Londoners!
We started brightly, carved out a few chances and held Concord for the majority of the first half. In the second half the doors fell off and we finished the game in second place. The score is something that I cannot write even four days after the fact. My therapist is still talking me down and promises to remove the electrodes in a week or so.
So Concord won the game but we won the after party by a country mile. The lunch was excellent with meat balls provided by JB and a deli platter supplied by Captain Flicky. I need to highlight the fact that JB provided parmesan cheese to sprinkle on his balls ... delicious. There were cookies and chips (aka crisps) and the beer supply was cold, varied and of very high quality. I was especially thirsty on account of chasing shadows for 90 minutes and I matched my personal world record of three beers ... IN A ROW! I went with the Notch Pils on account of general sweatiness.
Next week we play Peabody and I bet we give them a damned good spanking.
