A Moscada

jonnys

A wondeful crisp evening, the winter chills surrounding the ground and yet the mellee boys produced a firery performance.

the best way to describe our performance is 'stable with a pinch of class' jonnys nick dave and myself kept it solid at the back leaving sam to chase and infultrate bits of class. They went up with the opening goal but from that point onwards were always lookign back as melee took the lead which they held for the rest of the game. Us defensive boys all got 2 a piece (class lads) whilst sam just got the one and al managed a quality smauel speciality cheeky chip.

Of course a salways samba produced a dazzling display in the nets, he is worth 3/4 goals a game-sheer brilliance.

Match incident: myself and dave has been relativly calm this game, no major flare ups-wed all been working hard to maintain a 4 goal lead. Al comes on for nick: Huge swagger, i mean al comes on with a grin and stride ud think he just got quick 1 - 2 with some lady round the back of the pitch (this is all said in friendly banter). Needless to say the swagger continues and within minutes jonny wont move away form the ball afer conceding a free kick, ignoring the calls of his brother jonny got sinbinned and momentarily melle looked in toruble. Luckily their 2 goal get back wasnt enough, as soon as al got back on the pitch and after a slight bit of negative banterall is jonnys once agian.

8-6 victory against one of the top temas in the legauer leaves us joint 3rd with that very team.

To end i thought id leave us with some poetry as it best describes where were at, i found half of it on the net then did the other half:

the fun is in the playing which lasts far longer than the result and score-sheet at the end of a game, where the commaradery is often unspoken but felt strongly, the teamplay sometimes poetry in motion. The joy that gloom can bring either in defeat or victory goes way beyond a simple 'I win you lose'. In the end it doesn't matter what the result is, that's the icing on the cake, not a reflection on how well or how badly any individual has played. Win Lose or Tie-Mellee jonnys will remain, in time of broken legs or wounded souls are victories go beyond the pitch, they last longer then a moment and transcend the extasy of a win. boys stand firm, and lose we will not although we will at times encounter loss. What is true to note is our commaredery is more then a feeling after a win, but a truth that is found amongst a band of men. Together we go forth!
