Come In Agent Jackson, Your Work Is Done

Once again, the day had seen an awful lot of wind and rain, but it cleared for the game window, to leave pretty near perfect, if a bit cold (*) and a little skiddy, playing conditions.

(*) - Said Stu, clearly missing his usual pre-match beers.

10v9 1st half and 10v10 2nd half, as Cundall were decimated by drop outs and had to rely on support from the 5-a-side boys.

A truly ludicrous game ensued: we started brightly, keeping possession nicely and 2 smart finishes from Charlie made it 2-0. Then it all unravelled a bit, as it seemingly can for BoC, and before we knew it we had conceded 4 goals, were losing 4-2 and I thought, at least, on the brink of a real hiding.

Even worse, I realised as Andy turned up at half-time that we had had a 1 man advantage 1st half and now Andy was going to play for the oppo and even up the numbers.

Weirdly though, we upped the tempo, regained our composure and re-found our scoring touch. Ben got the first goal of the second half, which felt a bit like a consolation goal at the time. Tom punished a goalie mistake, 4-4 and - hang on a minute - are we back in this?

First Charlie, then Ben completed their hat-tricks (Charlie's first hat-trick, no less) and the improbably comeback was realised.

Still time for a consolation, but it was Cundall with it, nice finish into the corner from a shot on the edge of the box.

A few candidates for MoTM. Honourable mentions to Rich and Ben, but Charlie just sneaked the vote in the Latch.

Form is won 4 drew 1 in the last 5, going into next weeks match with old adversaries Broomwood.
