Apologies for the late report but this was a game soon to be forgotten and I did.Before the game, this was a first for PB this season, with myself arriving at the normal time, to be greeted by the team. My immediate thoughts were had British Summer time arrived or had they all learnt to tell the time this week.Still normality soon returned as were playing at Kessingland, they all assumed we were Juggernauts, only to be told we were playing Kessingland Queens Head, too much for the players to learn the time and understand 2 teams can play at the same ground. The team sheet had another unfamiliar look this week with ‘the cat’ returning in goal and the heavyweight duo(or should that be treble) of Mark Lansdale and Danny McKinley up-front. This pairing would have put the fare on any team and did with the opposition only having 10 men, 1 still unconscious in the changing room with the thought of facing them. Now for the bad piece, the game!In the first half, PB completely controlled the game and soon took a lead with the some silky passing between the deadly duo which enabled Lansy to hit a first time cross which was converted by Tom Miles. The second was not long coming with a melee in the box and the ball ending up in the roof of the net with a shot from Lansy.The celebration was felt around the ground and country, as he celebrated with the customary dive on to the ground causing the nation to go into panic stations with the thought of another earthquake and enough the make his mum and dad go home to check the damage. The third goal soon followed with another melee resulting the other half of the dreaded pairing, Danny smashing the ball in from 2 yards.The opposition gained a corner from a breakaway attack..The usual marking took place(been watching Ipswich too much) and from a free header, the Cat made a superb one handed save only for the rebound to be slotted into the net, with our defenders still walking around looking for somebody to mark. Half-time came with PB leading 3-1 and looking comfortable. A change was made with Jason Russell replacing the injured Darren Laws. The second half was a non-event for the PB, content to sit on the lead and let the opposition have all the play. They scored a second goal, which should have put some fear into the players but to no avail, the opposition still pressed forward for an equaliser which they nearly got, but for the Cat again.
M.O.M. The Cat again!!!

Next Game 17/03 Suffolk punch at Normanston Park, so the players know who, where and can tell the time.
