<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">MEFF #13 &ndash;SHEIKH MANSOUR&rsquo;S PLAYTHING 4 &ndash; 6 The Untouchables:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Fletch&rsquo;s challenging team, The Untouchables, won a tense and extremely close MEFF encounter as Sheikh Mansour&rsquo;s Plaything were finally toppled. In a startling turn of events, Sergio Aguero&rsquo;s fantastic debut had to be moved off the back page of the Sun as news filtered through that Rowan had actually lost a MEFF game, despite scoring a goal after running the entire length of the pitch from the goalkeeper&rsquo;s position!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">As usual both teams could have scored a lot more, but the holiday blues and hurried finishes put a stop to that, while Rowan and Spence (making a rare appearance in goal) athletically tipped several goal-bound shots wide.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">0-1: Pete (Patto knocked Fletch&rsquo;s long pass into the path of Pete who smashed the ball into the top bin)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">1-1: Neil (having appeared to have ruined his goal-scoring opportunity by fluffing a nutmeg after Luke&rsquo;s pass, Neil then took on two defenders and poked a low shot over the diving Spence who had just been taunting him!)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">2-1: Fletch (Griffin&rsquo;s corner was headed back across goal by Griffiths at the back post, where Crozier was on hand to bring the ball down and set up Fletch for a bundled finish)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">2-2: Rowan (Rowan rampaged forward from his box and was completely unchallenged for the entire length of the pitch, before crashing a finish beyond Spence&rsquo;s despairing dive from 10 yards)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">Half Time

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">3-2: Own Goal (Kieran took down Griffiths&rsquo; long throw at the back post, and his high shot was stabbed into the net by the diving Fletch)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">3-3: Patto (having skinned Taylor down the left wing, Patto&rsquo;s trailing leg was caught in the area, with the subsequent penalty dispatched through Rowan&rsquo;s jazz hands)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">4-3: Brett (Brett shrugged off the challenges of Griffin as he dribbled into the area and hit a hard slice into the bottom right corner)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">4-4: Crozier (a quick counter-attack allowed Pete to square across the face of the goal for Crozier to finish confidently)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">4-5: Pete (having taken down a quick long ball from Crozier, Pete turned the defenders inside out before selling Rowan with a dummy and chipping into the empty net)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">4-6: Fletch (another counter-attack saw The Untouchables stream forward and Fletch finished off the move after Pete had dragged it back)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Men of the Match were Tooby, because &ldquo;he scored a goal&rdquo;, and Pete, as &ldquo;we had to chase him around a lot&rdquo;.
