| As you have probably gathered
by now I am at best a reluctant journalist so here’s a
short but sweet match report, maybe some pressure on absent
reporter Mr. Marrs would reap dividends.
|
| The Albion’s third round Invitation
Cup game was against Westward Old Boys of the Premier League.
So it might surprise you to learn that we were four goals ahead
within the first twenty five minutes. I missed the first one,
but injured fullback Matt told me that Joseph scored it from Paul
F’s cross (made and finished in West London I hear you cry),
and I take his word for it. Paul Connell got the next, Joseph
coolly chipped the keeper for our third, and Paul C took the ball
calmly round the latter for our fourth. At this point a small
boy (presumably from Westward Young Boys) said “it’s
a disgrace to the under elevens”. |
| The half time oranges were as succulent
as ever, and it was decided that the Reds shouldn’t go to
sleep in the second half. |
| Alas they did and Westward had a
couple of goals within the first ten minutes. The Albion got one
back from the penalty spot though, Big Jim Amoruso had to score
twice from the spot as some idiot (Paul C) encroached during the
initial effort. Then Westward got a couple more, not that debutant
keeper Michael was to be blamed. But no worries, they couldn’t
score another so we won 5-4. Our quarter final opposition will
be decided on 16th February when Times ‘B’ play Isledon
United of the third division. Come on Isledon I say. |
| Today's’s
man of the match is Paul Connell, unlucky not to get a hat trick
and worked hard as always. I know that at least one of his goals
was captured for posterity on Monkeyhanger’s camera, it’ll
be on the site as soon as. |
| Our team: Michael; Dom, Amoruso,
Mark, Paul T; Paul F (MH Pete 55), Rich, Pete(c), Jim McT; Joseph,
Paul C. |
