AFC OLD BANK SUTTON 5 MALDEN TOWN FC 1
The first league game of the season was upon us and OLD BANK took to the field with a very strong line up to face the old foe MALDEN TOWN FC.
The game kicked off and as expected the tackles were flying in all over the park , sometimes the ball was actually near by!
Alex, Aubrey, Chris and Mark all made friends with their opposite numbers by carving their names on their shins!
With the largest crowd of supporters we have had (except the cup final last season) OLD BANK were out to impress and with five subs and three players not available competition for places is at an all time high (i am obviously open to bribes for starting places!)
The half went on with Mat setting Ed up twice but both chanes were unusually squandered. Malden town only had the long ball over the top which was mopped up by Marsh and Aubs with no problems.
Wallis was looking like a man possessed as he defended resolutely and attacked down the wing with speed and aggression. (and he didn't say "for f***ks sake once!)
As half time approached Mark played a through ball to Mat who finished to make it 1-0.
Another inspirational team talk by manager Bill the Jose Mourinho of Sunday league (although i need a big coat - donations gratefully received!) and the team took to the field unchanged for the second half.
Shook horror with 1 minute 33 seconds of the restart Mat had a speculative long shot which struck the bar, comedy moment the ball rebounded hit the back of the keeper and rolled towards the line. Was it over, was it a goal well it bloody well was when Ed ran in to break the back of the net from all of 1/2 inch 2-0 althought the dubious goal panel would look at who to award that one to. (okay Ed payed me a fiver and its his goal!)
Not wishing to lose out on the assists Jim then had a long drop kick which went straight through for Mat to run onto and the boy just doesn't miss those 3-0!
A slight setback as Jim was still celebrating being involved in the game for a change and remonstrating re a decision he was caught out by a long shot and 3-1! Much to Bills dismay as the air turned blue around his various obsenities of F***, s***,B******s, c***, a*** and hole! (for full unedited language see the adult version of this site)
Dan came on for Guy inspirational substitution as he ran down the wing beat three men and crossed to Mat who laid the ball sideways for Mark to steam in and bury the ball into the net for his first goal for the club. 4-1 game over!
Steve Laing came on for the injured Chris (or is it he wanted to sit next to his girlie who had come to watch!) It was her nagging that got steve on or was it another inspirational substitution by Bill (course it was!) as after a through ball come cross from Mat Steve found himself in an acre of room turned slowly with the turning circle of an eighteen wheeler and managed to score (unfortunate as i know i will nver hear the end of it!)_
The game ended 5-1 OLD BANK and our season is off and running.
Squad and marks out of ten:
Jim 8, Wallis 9 man of match, Marsh 8, Aubrey 8, Lee 8, Chris 8, Alex 8, Mark 8, Guy 8, Ed 8, Mat 8. SUBS Dan 8, Laing 8, Kev 8. Not used Bill, Ian.
Wanker of the week award!
Close competition between Ian for being late but he got dropped and won it last week. So it fell to ................ED for two misses he normally scores and for breaking the net from an inch. (plus i wound him up at half time and he scored within a minute so if he reads this on sunday morning i expect an early goal from him.)
