Boots 5 Biology 2

This one was an all time boots classic, initial worries of an unfamiliar back 3 were soon dispelled and Mike had the ball in the back of the net almost immediately! Soon it was two nil to the Boots with Nic slotting home. So some clinical finishing from the boots and to be honest we were creating plenty more chances. At the back the look was solid, lots of talking from Jez helping the back line of James and Wolf to Keep Biology at bay. But this was a team effort and everyone played their part covering positions and playing smooth almost total football. The boots were again rewarded for such good play when Dan smashed home a third and we were sitting pretty with a 3 goal lead. Wolf looked like he could have made it 4 but forced a good save from the biology keeper. From then on it looked like we would take that lead into half time but a rare slip up at the back resulted in biology smashing in a reply right on the stroke of half time.

The second half started with the boots in the same swaggering form and right from the kick off we were threatening the biology goal. However things weren’t quite as rigid in the second half and Biology made a few signs that they could get back into the game with some last ditch boots defending required. However the Boots were soon back on top, Mike thumped in the Boots’ fourth, sealing the points. The boots then played some really smooth passing moves as well as some excellent long range efforts; at this point it was exhibition stuff! Mike eventually sealed his hat-trick with another low drive into the corner of the goal and the points were safe for sure. At this point the boots sensed a drubbing on the cards and it was real cavalier football leaving ourselves a touch open at the back but still passing and creating chances one super, one touch passing move opened up Biology and really did deserve another goal but the ball was blazed wide. Biology to their credit plugged away and were rewarded a consolation goal that will have to go to the dubious goals committee (if there were one there isn’t so I’d rather it went down as a biology goal). James (mainly in jest) was adamant that Mike touched a Biology cross that was going straight along the by-line in to his own net. To be honest someone must have touched it as it went through a maze of legs to trickle in off the post. Still that didn’t take the gloss of what was certainly one of the best Boots team performances I have ever seen and definitely one of the best to watch and fun to play in. Other things of note were the biology keepers’ interesting interpretation of where the penalty area was, on another day we may have been baying for a free kick or two! Anyway more games like this and we could be in for a top 4 finish!
