They Nick It!             Sunday 5th September 2004 ____________________________________________________________________

 

With Andy swanning off to Fuerteventura, Kim B took charge again!.  Maurice refereed the first game and Anita Baker took the mic.

 

Game 1 - The line up was:

 

Joe B

 

Sam P     Sam B     Mark

  

Josh     Ethan     Oscar

   

Rolling Subs: Josef, Jamie C & Dan

 

A throw from Josh was picked by them but we cleared.  They then had a shot on goal but Joby (Joe B) saved well.  Ethan then had a shot, it ricocheted back and he had another but their young lady ‘keeper saved both well.  St Nicks attacked but Oscar was on hand to break up the attack and clear downfield.  Sam B then defended well and their shot was well wide.  Saints attacked again but Josef was there to stop them and he went on a run up field, unfortunately running the ball out for a throw as he did.  Saints attacked again and Joby could do nothing about the shot 0-1.  They attacked again but Sam B was there to clear it.  Another Saints attack was this time dealt with by Jim (Jamie C) and Mark.  Joby then came to clear but received a kick for his troubles.  We were awarded a free kick.  After a good run from Jim, they got the ball, attacked, and scored 0-2. 

 

HALF-TIME: FRYS   0     ST NICKS   2

 

Dan made a good tackle but then they won it back, went on a run and left Joby with no chance 0-3.  They then had an incredible long shot which Joby was never going to save 0-4.  The rest of the game has been lost to a dodgy dictaphone but the final score was 0-6.

 

FULL-TIME : FRYS   0     ST NICKS   6

 

Man of the Match – Joe Bray

 

Game 2 - The line up was:

 

Jamie G

 

Luke A     Jordan     James

  

Max     Joe C     Luke G

 

Rolling Subs: Sam K, Tom, Jack Y

 

As with the rest of the first game, the match has been lost but so have two of the goalscorers.  Joe Carreyett with a fine hat-trick, his first of the season, was three of them and if you can remember who the other two were then please let me know.  If you ask your children, they can tell you how many they have scored and if it doesn’t tally with the total then we could have a winner.

 

FULL-TIME : FRYS   5     ST NICKS   1

 

Man of the Match – Max Stevens

 

OVERALL RESULT : FRYS   5     ST NICKS   7

 

Afterthoughts…………………………………………

Despite what appears to be a big defeat in the first game, I have been told that the boys acquitted themselves well and didn’t deserve to lose!  As for the second game it was never in doubt and at the end the final score overall was a lot closer.
