Frys U 15's v Warmley Rangers B (a)

Sunday 16th February 2003

Hum, now let me see, ah yes Warmley, Warmley, Warmley (pause) Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley, Warmley. I make that 14. Oh sorry we scored one through Jamie Blaney somewhere in there.

      A little one sided then one would assume, well in truth it wasn’t, sure they scored 13 more than us (giggle, giggle) but, while the defence  was awake and while there wasn’t any unpunished violent conduct taking place, we enjoyed, in scattered spells good possession and link up play throughout the midfield.

      We broke on a number of occasions with positive forward runs from John Cox and Lee Dark (before he was nastily injured). All this, alas, was spoiled when, time by time, like usual we were caught out by the ball over the top from their centre backs.

      Any way, when half time came, we found ourselves 6 or so to nothing down. However the score wasn’t the reason for our angry nature it was, how can I put this nicely, their foul play, which went unpunished. We were still revved up for the second half, and no sooner had it begun than the hard tackles from our team had started, from Dan Elson and Greg Tompkins in particular.

      The introduction of Gary Carter brought some variation into the game although the goals kept going in finishing 14-1. An atrocious scoreline but I don’t think we want to learn anything from Warmley.

      Lets look forward to DRG………!
