M4 vs Winchcombe 1 Lost 0-8
MOM: Matt
DOD: Mr Kim
So last week I had 21 players to select from this week we struggled, especially GK and travelled to Evesham to play Wincombe with 12.
If last week could be described as a bad day at the office, this was like a grey Monday morning with a hangover.
Winchcombe have won everything so far and scored lots of goals in doing so. Damage limitation was the name of the game, an informal object was not to concede double figures!
So, first a big thank for Matt who we dragged out of retirement to play in goal. He gave up a warm seat in a pub watching the rugby to get peppered by multiple shots!
It was a defender’s day, Will, Bill and yes Mr Kim had a fantastic day, as we all were going to have a hard game chasing opp. players and we lasted 5 minutes before the first goal, a well converted short, in total Winchcombe scored 5 unanswered goals in the first half.
We all worked hard and did occasionally get the ball and kept it long enough build some pressure, and I had one of my proudest moments when put up an aerial (
on purpose) that Tobias ran onto. You always remember your first.
It was not all doom and gloom at the team talk, jelly babies, tangfastics and oranges were munched through whilst we pointed out the good points and how well we were playing.
In the second half we resisted more only conceding 3 more goals. Justine not to be outdone also put up a successfully aerial. It was in 2nd half that Mr Kim earned the DOD, after repeatedly passing the ball from 16’s to the opp. attackers, he will say some guff about forwards hiding or such, but this time the resulting attack was only narrowly-wide and he accepted responsibility and did 5 press-ups on the field unprompted!
Next few games are vs teams near us in league so need to get back to winning ways.
MOM: Matt, coming out of retirement for us
Honourable mentions: Will & Tobias
DOD: Mr Kim
Dis-honourable mentions – Bill (leaving 15 before the end and that comment in the warm-up)
To continue the DOD, award winner’s statement

“Just being picked on again as the default as everyone played their hearts out”
