Match Report 25th April 2007

The second early kick off in two weeks saw Melee field a slightly changed side. With their usual goalkeeper- Kevin Webb out at an awards dinner, it was time for Samuel to play in goal, and new boy whose name I cannot remember played up font.

The match was ridiculously one sided - with 5 of melee's 6 players largely camped in the opposition half. It was however the opposition (ABCDE FC) that broke the deadlock in commical fashion. a weak shot from their centre forward was inexplicibly not picked up by sam until late and the ball bobbled under him.

No one in the Melee camp pannicked and was not long before a pass from Couper sent Justyn (and all his flailing limbs) scampering down the right, he then put a beautiful cross in for Pete who punished the ball from about 4 yards out into the roof of the net. 1-1.

From this point Melee did not look back - with goals from Porter, 2 from New guy, one more from justyn and pete. The highlights begin New guy taking down a long ball and instantly hitting the ball past the desparing goalkeeper who was back tracking after an attempted attack.

This game laid to rest once and for all the myth that Melee could not score by passing through a team. Most of the goals came from persistant pressure and confident ball play from each of the melee players.
Final Score: 6-1
Blunder of the week: Sorry Sam - but you win hands down - but dont worry it is the only week you will probably ever win it!
Man of the Match: New Guy - after coming in and playing with a team of strangers - he came in played a relaxed passing game, did his bit in defense and scored a couple of beauties!!
