2A bouys 3 - 1 Outo Kumpu
A fantastic team performance on Saturday saw the 2A buoys totally outclass the premiership opposition. Starting the game against only 10 men, sorry Dave can't avoid mentioning it, Outo Kumpu must have thought it was going to be a walk in the park. On a fairly large pitch we kicked up hill in the first half and into the sun. Without the extra man everyone dug deep and worked really hard for each other playing some lovely passing football.
Two great moves down the right flank resulted in goals for Zahid and Mark Harby. Now seeing as I spent the last ten minutes of the game with stars in front of my eyes following a clash of heads, I can't remember if Zahid scored first or Mark. I do remember Pete whipping in a superb cross and Zahid heading in from the far post at the edge of the six yard box. After some nice passing down the right flank Mark found himself inside the box rifling the shot past the keeper to make it 2-0 within 15 minutes.
On the stroke of half time we carelessly threw Outu Kumpu a lifeline allowing them to score from a corner. Although Butch forgot to jump to catch the ball, some suspect defending allowed their striker to head home unchallenged. I am sure that Torrs will have something to say about that! After Dave arrived we switched from the 3 4 2 formation to the more conventional 4 4 2 with Mark Harby moving to leftback.
In the second half OK came out with all guns blazing but thanks to some stoic defending from Ian, Daz and Mark Harby(not sure what Torrs was doing) we held them at bay. After some controversial offside decisions against Zahid and Pete we finally broke, again down the right, this time Zahid turning provider for Pete to slot home(at least thats how I think it happened - maybe a quite trip to casualty to rule out concussion wouldn't go a miss).
With OK chasing the game we had several other chances on the counter attack to kill the game but in the end it didn't matter.
Finally well done to Saulio our leader, the midfield dynamo who scrapped and battled in the middle of the park to win possession for us. Why on earth he ran forty yards to fetch the ball for the them when we were three one up is beyond me. He must have been overjoyed at being able to stand head and shoulders above his opposite number for once.
Well done the lads!!
