A good result tonight (eventually!), the Albion are now fifth in the league.
We played QC Aces tonight, they’re second from bottom but our games against them have usually been quite tight. The Reds started the game with the wind behind them and looked the better team throughout. We were unlucky in front of goal a few times in the first half (and indeed the second) but went in at half time a goal up thanks to Jim’s lobbing the goalie on twenty minutes. The windy conditions helped QC as our passing game was made harder but the team nonetheless worked well together.
QC got back in the game early in the second half, scoring after five minutes from a free kick then again five minutes after that. Heads did not go down though, and after a quarter of an hour’s good pressure eventually Irish Pete surged forward from full back to equalise. Jim put us ahead soon after when their keeper came Lehmaning miles out of his area so that Jim could take the ball round him and finish in his own time. The Albion missed a couple of sitters after that, plus James and Ramsay were involved in a comedy cameo where both hit the bar in the space of two seconds; James made it 4-2 with five minutes to go.
Our team (4-4-2, r-l): Giles; Sean, Dom, Steve F, Irish Pete; MH Pete (Dennis 70), James(c), Rich, Jim, Tom (Ramsay 80), Mark S (Will 53)
