There was a celebratory atmosphere in the air last night after Melee paraded last seasons division 1 winners trophy aloft. That kind of morale boost served well on this average summers night seeing Melee take a 12-6 victory against Becrypt Allstars.
After two weeks of no shows Melee could have potentially been rusty and some early worry signs were there leading to an early goal gifted to the opposition. But heads didn't go down and Melee started to press and pass cleverly to take a demanding advantage into half time leading 4-1.
After the break debutant goal keeper Fabio got lobbed by the opposition goalie in what only can be described as a rare event in 5-a-side. However his general play may have already secured him a place in Melee folklore.
After the traditional taking the foot off the gas the scores stood at 5-4 in a game that could have turned around. Bizarre tactics never seen in 5-a-side of booting the ball up to the big man seemed odd,although Foz had him in his pocket for most of the game. Strong performances from Pils and Dave in the midfield changed the game back into Melees favour forcing the opposition into numerous errors. Quick goals followed with Dave and Kev taking advantage of some poor defending to rack up a tally of 5 goals a piece,leaving the opposition bamboozled and heavily deflated.
Melee now sit top again of the Championship division,with some huge games to come in the following weeks,long may this run continue (now 9 games undefeated).

'Booting the ball up to the big man' - i'm pretty sure that was our tactic back in the dunstable days.
