Neutral friendly match
Another trip to Leigh Park for the Southletico boys and another tale of two halves. Firstly Alfie pulled out to Ref so Dave stepped up never going to be a popular decision but got more flak from his Son than the opposition (they swore at him 7463 times btw) Attendance of 6 including the managers kids who were smothered in bronzing oil (why the fuck that is put in same bottle as sun cream I will never know). Pre match warm up was a success not that anybody needed warming up as it was like a fucking volcano on the pitch today. Anyway onto the match. Southletico set up well but still managed to concede within the first 5 minutes. Although we do like to let in an early goal. Once we allowed that in we settled and quickly asserted into a 2 goal lead, H with a hattrick within 24 minutes and to be honest if he continues like this he will score 100 goals this season one of these goals belonged in a cup final it was that good. In true sunday league fashion omce a team named after a pub starts losing they start complaining handbags with everyone was the order. Once they stopped complaining and got the ball down it somehow ended up 4-4. Was it Southletico being sloppy, Pelham being better, people worrying about being clattered by stray tackles who knows. But with the game deadlocked and us on the attack we get a penalty. If you habe every seen donkey from shrek crossed with bambi on ice you het the idea of the run up from brad but to be fair he put the ball in the net and scored his first goal for Southletico maybe one day he will a hattrick trophy of pens. Game abandoned on 75 minutes (second time this season we have played less minutes than years Dave has been alive) because the Pelham thought the match was an undercard on the ufc and wanted to get that started or maybe it was simply someone had a bet on knocking someone out in the 75th minute. All in all another good showing we need to work on the second half being as good as the first and I can see us having an awesome season. Up the South we go again.
