Home league match
Another day, another NUSU Campus Leagues win. Many of you are probably wondering what is going on, and so are we. This week we played Jay Jay O'Cotchers, a team dedicated to the Boltonian Nigerian.
Again without a preview, the lads went into the match blind. None of us have heard from the Gaffer in weeks. Because no one knows what he looks like, the e-fit isn't particularly useful, so if people notice a mysterious figure loitering in shadowy car parks, it could well be him.
Without any preparation, the lads turned up looking like a shambles. They didn't have a ball to kick about, nor a planned warm up, so they lined up at kick off cold and ill-prepared. However, it seemed to have no bearing on the game.
William Nicoll opened the scoring after a short James Sproston pass, and then won the match ball moments later having scored with his next two touches of the ball, courtesy of Jake Hawkyard and Jack Edwards. Nicoll then turned provider as he put one on a plate for Sproston, before scoring again from a Hawkyard lay off. Jack Cryer rounded off the first quarter scoring with a nifty left-foot finish having won the ball in their half.
The O'Cotchers then grew into the game, having rotated their semi-pro keeper in net. The lads struggled to break through, as they scored their first of the match after a horror Edwards touch. Sproston responded after skilfully flicking the ball round the keeper for a tap in, but another two flew in past Hawkyard in quick succession.
Once again the Juniors responded. Having worn down the opposition, Harri Saunders bagged two either side of a Tom Coulthard goal, as the Juniors racked up a 10-3 lead. However, the match quickly turned sour, as one lad fancied a look at Saunders' backside by attempting to pull down his shorts. In the following passage of play, another lad came steaming over to lay one into Saunders. Not one to back down in battle, the opposition player found himself pinned against the advertising boards before Sproston intervened, who then in turn was on the receiving end of a blunt elbow.
The ref swiftly blew cut the match short ahead of time, before the chubby lad who was in net for the first ten minutes could bounce over to the conflict. A steely glare in Hawkyard's direction was all he could muster after the whistle blew.
The lads now sit top of the league, and it looks like it'll take more than a Boltonian legend to stop them.
As always big love to Mob Kitchen for the best pre-match meals we could ever have hoped for.
