Pot Black v Queens Head
Normanston Park
21-09-08
After a good victory last week, PB was hoping to continue in a winning vain against Queens Head at Normanston Park. The weather was glorious, more accustomed to a leisurely game of cricket than football.
PB kicked off and got soon were pressing down on the Queens goal mouth and after only 2 mins took the lead through Liam Harvey, although the keeper mad a hash of what seemed a simple shot to save, still they all count. PB were playing with confidence and knocking the ball well with most good moves coming through Kieran Wardrope on the right wing. After only 10 mins, the players were already feeling the effects of the heat and asking for a drink of water. Not our Ross. What did he send Danny to get!!!!! A MARS BAR! Everyone knows about his non-stop eating habits but this takes the biscuit!. (bad –pun opportunity)
Still PB continued to press and the second goal came on 20 mins after good work by Rory French and converted by Liam. At this stage, Wally came over to ask what the score was (bullshit) as he was more concerned with putting his fishing gear together by his car than watching the match.
Queens pulled a goal back after a free-kick was headed through to leave an unmarked player to run through and score.
This woke PB up and continued to press and scored the goal of the game after a superb ball from Kieran enabled Coop’s to score PB third. PB hit a purple match playing some scintillating football and should have scored more goals before adding a fourth through Rory with a good header from a Coop’s corner. With half-time approaching the fifth goal came after good work from Max enabled Kieran to get the goal his first half display deserved,
At half-time PB were completely in control leading 5-1 and playing with confidence.
The second half continued in the same vein with PB going forward and nearly added to their lead through good efforts from Rory and Ross. After 50mins Jordon replaced his brother Kieran who had been superb throughout the game. The sixth came from Rory who scored with a good header into the top corner of the net.
Queens then to their credit got back into the game and never gave up, playing some good football and scoring 2 goals to make the score-line 6-3. Ross then had to be substituted as he was feeling the effects of a groan strain.( Or maybe because the park shop was shutting in 5mins!) Jason came on with 20mins to go and was soon in the thick of it clearing 2 shots off our goal-line as Queens continued to press. He unfortunately got himself booked as well for being over jealous in his desire to win the ball on several occasions.(That’s not like our –Jas!)
Towards the end of the game, PB killed the game with Rory scoring the seventh and a well-deserved hat trick after good individual display, especially after working all night in London, driving back and coming straight to football. That’s something for the other players to consider when calling off after a Saturday night on turps!.
So another victory under our belts, with me going on holiday and PB defending an unbroken record while I’m away, Max the pressure is on to maintain it next week at Normanston against Suffolk Punch, remember to wear the blue kit.
M.O.M. Kieran & Rory.
