Re-branded as the "Squires" last year's Avonhead team are back in this
year's Sunday league with a new name and a new navy blue strip. They may have
had the first laugh when the Striker's were forced to play in their tighty whities,
but it was the Squires who were singing the blues by game's end.
The first half was dominated by the Strikers. After half a dozen bungled
attempts Fudge finally put the home team on the board with what has since been
acclaimed as "the header of the season". Not satisfied with that,
Fudge went on to complete another half dozen attempts sealing the half time
score at 1 nil to the Strikers.
The second half was more eventful as the game relaxed somewhat. Girl's Farts
blistered another past the keeper to take himself to the top of this year's
striking table equal with the absent Drag'm at 10 goals. The great Dexter
himself was unable to take the field as he was busy chowing down on
'puppy-dog-woof' in Korea and could not prioritise this week's game into his
busy schedule.
To the disappointment of all present Timmy Tackle's big front toe was
denied by the upright. However, the hoards were finally satisfied when Arthur
Fonzarelli showed his much anticipated striking force with a bobby dazzler into
the onion sack ending this season's drought.
To their credit, the Squires played very well. After big wins in recent weeks
it was refreshing to get opposition that were almost up to it. Full marks to the
Squires' keeper (rumored to be the man axed by Trig last year in the ambulance
incident) who made use of his new bionic knee to drop-kick the ball well over
halfway on every kick out. The tactic finally paid dividends when Dirty
struggled to make it back to sweeper and accidentally headered the ball to the
awaiting Squires player who finished brilliantly, leaving Cyclone Matt spread
eagle in the goal mouth.
Good to see a bit of sideline support this week, Gnome Fiddy, Wella Balsam,
Poo Vincent and Larns all making it along for a great afternoon of
entertainment.
