Boots 0 Chinese Society 1
OK so we lost and are still rock bottom of the league, but this was a decent performance by the Boots. Throughout the game we worked hard and looked like a pretty tight unit. James B started the game in goal and only had a couple of saves to make in the first half, much quieter than last week against Maths. The Chinese had some fast skilful players and we did well to restrict them to a couple of half chances in the first period. Meanwhile the Boots had several meaningful forays with Stui Costa twice coming close to opening his Boots account, Wolfy firing a volley just over and Mike almost adding to his season's total. 0-0 at half time was a steady scoreline, however Mike's hamstring forced a reorganisation with him going in goal. Without Mike's forward endeavour the Boots lost a little bite up front but still remained tight at the back. Mike had a couple of saves to make, but perhaps it was inevitable that the winning goal was going to be a stormer and indeed it was. The ball fell to their tall nippy bloke out on the Boots left who drilled in a superb effort across the goal into the top corner. Fair play. To our credit we pushed on and were very unlucky not to grab an equaliser. First Tim hit a rasping effort from distance that just went past the post when many of us thought he had scored. Then right at the death Tim played a superb through ball to Wolfy free in the area only for their keeper make a crucial block.
Boots: James B, David, Toby, Tim, Wolfgang, Stu, Ali, Mike
Iron Boot: Mike........for his tough "Michael Ball" challenge on their nippy little bloke in the 1st half. He won the ball and left his mark!!
Cynical Boot: James B........for his challenge on their nippy little bloke in the 2nd half
Skill Boot: Their guy that scored the goal.....what a belter!
Stui Costa Chuntering Rating: 4/10 another quiet day for our Stu that got even quieter after their wee nippy bloke offered to "have a conversation" with him off the pitch.
