Before the training and match update this week’s news.
Reports have been coming in that there have been spies and talent spotters from rival clubs, this has led to us not being able to arrange any matches as all the other squads are running scared.
Update from Westleigh Park, apparently the management and coaches etc are all on a pre-Christmas health kick consisting mainly of ‘Herbalife’ milkshakes, we’ve been in discussions with our team of nutritionists who have advised us to remain on the doughnut and chocolate biscuit diet.
OK, on to the pitch. We welcome back John the Nipper, unfortunately The Surf was side-lined today with an aggravated calf, yet we still had a full turnout of 12 gladiators preparing for battle.
Joe the Mighty took the basic warm up getting carried away and leading the team on a vicious kidney shaker, once recovered we move on to a Galesy special involving triangles, a diamond, 2 balls and an irritating guy with a whistle MAYHEM.
The match. On a squally chilly morning, all 12 were out to be stars of the screen as 2 camera crews arrived to capture the action. Everyone was far too eager to impress and the coach gave us all a talking to, to be patient in the build-up etc, the game settled down and the agility and skill resumed.
Once again a very close match, with the Vivids having a perfectly organised squad, the Blues struggling with their formation, after going one down early on to an early Vivid goal, the Baby Blues strike back and take the lead with a wonderful brace of scintillating goals from Dave the not so new, the Vivids reply was an absolute stunner of a flying header from Clive the Nimble….WOW, with the blistering pace of this match the next few goals were a blur, I can report that Matt the Danny missed so many chances, his name has now been officially changed to Matt the Miss, the wind started to reverberate as the team played on in the eye of ‘Weather Bomb’ (Explosive Cylogenisis) with time running out the Vivids looked sure of victory, in the final minute Matt the Miss received the ball on the right wing, turned and moved to within striking distance to the calls of ‘SHOOT’ he checked and squared to the The Wok who planted the ball in the far corner to bring the game to a 4-4 draw.
An incredible match with the force of Joe the Mighty evident as ever up front, Stewart the Voice put in a glittering display, Tony the wall strong and positive as always, Pete the Fast what speed and agility, Rob the Fit another luscious exhibition, George the Safe despite a first half injury went into goal and pulled off some incredible saves, Dave the New dominating the midfield, finally John the Nipper a sparkling talent in defence.
It has been said that we are like Chelsea and I really understand the comparison, with teams shivering with fear at the mention of the HAWKS over 50’s walking football team, and of course being led by Jose Galesy ‘The Special One’ (I leave it up to you to interpret the description ‘Special’)
Just a reminder troops training next week is from 09-30 as ‘The Special one’ has a prior arrangement being SANTA, now that conjures up some terrifying thoughts…………….POOR KIDS
With our final session next week before the festive break, we will miss our Thursday morning escapades.
Finally, footage from the match will be available shortly, and a huge thanks to Cathy the WAG for all her efforts in the eye of the bomb
