The last game of the season meant the positions were pulled out of the hat – leaving a very unhappy Nasal! The Wombles actually started well with Nase dominating his box ) as no one shot)and Krissy doing a calm job at left back (most people were questioning the decision to swap them in the second half) and took the lead when a corner by a crazily pira Slinky was headed home from big Stopper Nath.
Nath and drapes were performing admirably as a centre half pairing but it was soon 1 – 1 when a free kick was awarded on the edge of the box and while Nase was lineing up his wall the free kick was dinked into the far corner. The home side were apoplectic but the goal stood.
Second half game and Kris went up front for a 3 minute spell before deciding it was too much like hard work. He swapped places with Nase and the rest of the team shuffled round to have most players in their correct position.
Unfortunately Tango’s on pitch form deserted him as he let a scrubber go through his legs and into the net to give the away side the win. The season ended in ridiculous fashion, and that summed the Wombles one season in Sunday football up perfectly.

Scorers : Eason (2)
A tepid performance from the Wombles who again had to shuffle the pack with players missing for various reasons including a keeper going to France on a mission to find his mother. Slinky stepped in between the posts and asked explicity for no one to pass him the ball – several passbacks later and the Wombles were a few goals down.
The Wombles never really got going with several players pira and the pick of a poor bunch was probably Micky at right back and Eason for his finishing alone scoring a couple of beauties. Cat worked tirelessly up front and got himself into several good positions but unfortunately his finishing left A LOT to be desired and had to be substituted before he literally beat himself up!
A game to forget for everyone involved apart from Muzza who had performed reasonably well on right wing before his customary tweak of leg. He ended up playing in goal moving like he had been treated to a night of Trussler loving!
