Match Report 18th April 2007

Melee faced some tough opposition in their 2nd match of the league against AFK Lawnmower.
Pre-match from melee was just that...melee, with half the team turning up as kick off was being taken. They were duely repremanded and it looks likely that the club will impose fines. Neither Justyn, Ports or Sam were around to comment on their attendance.

Melee started brightly and were 1-0 up within a couple of minutes. A great move involved Pete and Samuel led to a good start from the Harpenden boys.
The rest of the first half was flowing football with Kev not troubled in goal. In fact to stay awake Kev had to try and play as an outfield player to get some involvement.

The second half began with Melee having a solid 3-0 lead, and two breakaway goals - one from Justyn and one from ports lead to a comfortable 5-0 scoreline.

Then Melee's hopes of a clean sheet were dashed by the man in black. Having given a throw in to Melee the referee changed his mind without saying anything and the melee team were (figuratively) caught with their trousers down and the AFK Lawnmower striker sliced the ball into the top of the net.
Final score 5-1


Man of the Match: Justyn - his late arrival almost cost him his place in the melee line up but he redeemed his error and despite a couple of one on ones that went wrong, he put in a solid performace all over the park.
