2010/10/31 v Millbrow (A)

With a strong squad once again and some individuals told to have a week off, we went into this one a bit too confident (my fault). Never-the-less the team fielded, soon took the lead with goal poacher 'Deano' netting twice in the first half. We took our foot off the gas and let Millbrow back in with some sloppy play once again, 1-2.

Aiden was snipered just before the break and was left for dead in a heap, so big Russ slipped in at centre half.

The interval arrived and the girls began to bicker. A few slapped wrists were handed out and the 'Thunderbolt' was unleashed! Deano (worryingly) had to come off with leg pains.

We were the better side although Millbrow had some good passages of play, but there were some very lazy performances (thank god Jimmy Stuart was away).

Fortunately for us we had half a dozen lads battling enough for the other half who were ambling around (the usual battlers I might add) - on another day we wouldn't be able to carry so many passengers.

When we did turn on the style we scored good goals with Oldie, Basden and Ole Gunner Quigley completing the scoring.

Matty Tighe uncharacteristically picked up a couple of yellows so joined his puppet master on the line, Basil, who incidentally talked his way into next weeks team with Mike Conroy because I can't stand to have them stood with me again!

Name and shame 'em.... nah better not.... but thanks once again to Ads, 'Second half' Yatesy, Ole Gunnar and Man of the Match 'Brucey' Heaton.

Best wishes to Danny Ap who's starting a fresh in Hong Kong in the New Year.
