After 3 straight wins, a clean sheet and a cup final looming O'Neills were finally recognised as the class outfit they are by the groundsman who rewarded us with a game on the main pitch with a stand and everything except an open changing room!
Melfort arrived fairly on time so this meant they were as up for it as they ever get, being so laid back they are horizontal.
O'Neills were missing the new signins that had revived our season matt away and mark on an evidence gathering course. Evidence? Not something i've ever really bothered about, just make up some shit!
The first game started and wow! We were playing football, moving, passing, talking (even Wallis was running!) we looked f*****g good!
Obviously the ageing bill back in defence had raised our game to a new level! and yes jim i did an airshot! But at least i didn't get lobbed whilst standing on my line!
A day of firsts! Wallis went on a lovely run which normally ends in the ball well over the bar but amazingly despite trying to hit the keeper with the ball Wallis slotted it home 1-0 o'neills.
A rousing half time talk and onto the second quarter. A lovely through ball by pat saw guy one on one with the keeper and a great finish 2-0 and all over really. Jim was sunbathing, reading a porn mag, listening to the radio, anything but having to keep goal.
It ended 2-0 and a second clean sheet on the trot another first!
The second game looked in the bag, but a change in gameplan by melfort and a shoot from anywhere policy caught o'neills napping and a spectulative long range effort saw Jim rise liked a beached whale that was about to become a bar of soap to let the ball glide over his head and in shock horror the hat trick of clean sheets was gone! and 1-0 down.
However this was a new and improved o'neills one with team spirit, a willingness to play for each other no one moaning at being sub, running the line, getting the ball and having to perform sexual acts for the manager.
A moving team talk at half time that had jim in tears, guy proud to have the shirt on his back, rich and marsh actually talking and wallis doing well what ever it is wallis actually does!
we never thought we were going to lose we had a belief in ourselves and it showed. We had all the pressure, all the play but with a succession of golden oppourtunies being missed by our normally reliable pat and ed (does not have the same ring as pat and matt)
then there he was again up popped the incredible guy with his right foot and in it went 1-1 and what a selection headache for the manager in the up coming final as guy the scorer in form pushes himself ever more forward in the plans! (still time to muck up next game though!)
Ed not to be outdone after almost becoming the andy cole of sunday league (10 chances 1 goal!) from the goal a game man we know and love (well aubrey does apparantly!) converted a great cross by rich to make it 2-1 and another three points in the bag.
FIVE yes Five wins on the trot another first!
brings us to 23 points level with cds and malden town the next game a week on sunday against cda is virtually a fourth place decider we win we finish fourth on 26 points and shades of what could have been had we been able to start the season the way we have finished it.
Just a little note to mention at time of going to press nasa have informed me that chris's last shot has still not return to earth and is currently orbiting around russia. So please be aware of falling footballs and remember when chris has the ball near the goal the shout is not "have a go!" it is "PASS!"
BUT JUST TO ALSO LET YOU KNOW THE LIST OF NON SCORERS WITH ONLY TWO GAMES LEFT THIS SEASON TO BREAK THE DUCKS ARE
MARSHALL "TOO TIGHT TO SHOOT" BURROWS
IAN "HAVE IT! MAMMOTH THE MASTER OF DISASTER" ASHLEY I SAY ASHLEY CLARKE
JIM "LET ME GO UP FOR A CORNER KIRALI" HUTCHINSON
CHRIS "A SATELITES WORST NIGHTMARE" BLAKE
REHAN, MARK D, ADAM, ALSO MAKE THE LIST!
