MOM : Joe Johnson
The Ressies took on former Sunday National Champions Duke of York in blustery conditions at Kingsthorpe Rec missing a number of first team regulars for reasons varying from holiday, injury, illness to being absolutely pira! Johno once again took the gloves in goal and let nobody down with a top drawer performance.
The Wombles started off slowly and never really got out of first gear, the closest the opposition keeper came to making a save was from one of their back passes. The Wombles rode their luck for the first 20 mins but the deadlock was finally broken and a second was added soon afterwards with Nasal’s lack of pace (and interest?) being exposed.
Second half came with a slight improvement but a decidely dodgy offside goal was given (learn the rules Robbie!) and the Wombles crumbled letting in a further 3 as the ref had a stinker (for both sides). Joey Jo Jo was the pick of the side, even saving a penalty (harshly given against Nase) and stand in Skipper Flaser and stand in captain of vice truss were the pick of the rest.
The club can look back on the cup run with glee due to the large investment into the fines pot from the Slinkdog! Roll on next week and a return to the league and teams of our standard!
