 Match report - HKFC H's 1 - 1 Dragons B - 2 May 2010

The match turned out to be a contest between the two goalkeepers.  The score
line didn't reflect the opportunities that both teams were denied on or
around the goal line.  From the short corners, both teams had a hatful  -
neither managing to find a way to capitalise.

We were fortunate to have had Guy with us during the first half.  He
delivered the ball to Tim who brilliantly slotted our only goal just a few
minutes or so before the end of the half. 

Chris was denied, what would have been 'goal of the season', collecting a
perfect pass from Q and then drilling the ball towards the roof of the net -
a quite brilliant instinct save by the Dragon's goalkeeper who had a
'blinder' of a match.

At the other end of the pitch we were fortunate to have had Cyrus in goal -
he gets my vote for man-of-the-match - without his 'season-best' performance
today we'd surely have lost by a significant margin.

Nev, fresh from getting the last of the glass removed from his arse, replete
with some mysterious source of energy, was constantly revving up the left -
I wondered why.  Which got me thinking.

There was a young man called Nev,

Who'd had a late night on the bev.

Amongst all the glass

They found up his arse,

Was an engine on its last rev.

Chappie did a sterling job from the bench. Finding it easy, for his first
time this season, to shuffle substitutions from a team with the perfect
blend of experience and athleticism, only to get an earful from Q who, to be
fair, was not wearing his glasses nor had his hearing aid connected.

Well-done lads.  I look forward to sharing the silverware with you all.
