Match Report - BAFLETICO MADRID - 19 Nov 2017

After a week without any BJFC posts whatsoever, we're back and ready to stock your weekend full of Berocca Juniors goodness. We've got a massive backlog of player ratings and a preview to get through tomorrow, as well as two HUGE results that we'll tell you about today, including this little tale against a certain 'Bafletico Madrid'. Admit it, you've missed us.

The Juniors returned to action on Sunday looking to bounce back after their first 5s loss of the season against AFC Donn the week before. Though many of the boys may have been disheartened by the result, the character of our lads shone through on the following Wednesday, seeing off Coquet Ultras in a decisive 7-4 victory.

Come Sunday and the club took a squad of six to Fenham. Though FIFPro World V nominee Jake Hawkyard failed a late fitness test after containing to suffer from a dark ages disease, Jack Cryer again slid on the old Sondico's for the Juniors, and after his performances against St Mary's FC and El Capitano, we could only have expected great things. Rowan Franks also received his second ever call up from The Gaffer, with the tricky winger looking to keep up his three goals-a-game ratio.

The first quarter saw lots of attritional play, but no hydraulic action from Baflectico could break down the abrasive Juniors flood defence. In the second quarter, the lads managed to erode the opposition, with Rowan Franks sourcing captain Harri Saunders at the 2 degrees longitude to slot home. That seismic event opened the floodgates, with the pyroclastic flow of Juniors attacks putting Bafletico under serious tectonic pressure. Saunders and Franks again capitalised on BJFC's non-viscous play, with the captain notching up two more after Franks himself had ridden on the tidal wave of Berocca Juniors attacks.

In an attempt to prevent the imminent Malthusian crisis, Baflectico slotted one in the back of Cryer's Millennium Development Goal. William Nicoll responded before the break for the Juniors, as the lads reached the drove towards maturity. Following more industrious play, James Sproston added to the Juniors' lead before the opposition struck through a fissure in the BJFC defence. Franks continued to be the focal point of the team's attack, adding a seventh after Sproston slotted the ball through a slender U-shaped valley.

Fenham clearly remains the epicentre of footballing action, as further goals from Tom Coulthard, Franks and Nicoll sealed a much-deserved win over a team that looked like a misfit stream on the grassroots football scene. Having had Welsh, Australian, Northern Irish and Zimbabwean players on their books over the last few years, the Juniors have certainly embraced globalisation, but with just one Welshman and five Englishmen in the squad today, it seems that a glocalised approach won them this game.

We also have to thank our generous sponsor Mob Kitchen for making all of this possible. Over to Jacky Cryer to say a massive well done for reaching 100,000 likes.
