Real District 2 Wombles 5

1. Sunbed – Could do nothing with either goal. Loves coffee club.
2. Nasal – Defended well, put some good balls in, and avoided (just) getting beaten up.
3. Weave – After a drunken start, got stronger as the game went on for his best performance since his October break.
4. Skipper – Was playing well before he went off with a broken ankle / ligament damage / slight scratch (delete as applicable).
5. Flaser – Spent the first half hour thinking about battered foods. His booking brought him to his sense and he produced another solid display.
6. Joe – A couple of great reducers first half set the tone. Can we appeal for the return of his shooting boots please?
7. Lewy – His assist in the 70′th minute was his first pass to his own player. Provided good width though.
8. Metronome(1) – Powerful header for the goal capped another exemplary display.
9. Burbasloth(2) – Great goals and outpaced someone! Rubbed off on Rob well (the first time he has rubbed off on a young un without a court appearance).
10. Robinho(2) – Gets better with every game. Two good finishes opened his account for the club.
11. Rory – His opta stats say 1 pass complete but 3 assists. MOTWYW

SUBS
12. Jellyleggs Winners – Came on as centre half just behind Eason. As he sobered up he dominated proceedings and wound up the opposition by telling them to calm down and touching them!
13. Puss – Stood an undeserved barrage of abuse on the sideline and a deserved barrage of abuse in the pub. The utility man almost scored when he came on.

Guest Match Report from Slinky

Things started badly for the Womble as Real Dogsh;t went into a quick two goal lead after only 10 minutes through half of the team being para and the other half thinking about coffee club.

The Wombles were playing it around nicely, with Ali Mac and Lewy (in a pigs eye) in particular spraying the ball around with great aplomb. A goal was pulled back after great pace from Eason saw him unleash a shot which rebounded out to Rob Noel who tucked it away to notch up his first goal for the club.

Second half saw a completely different Wombles performance, with passing and movement causing ‘Real’ problems for the opposition. The equaliser came from our latest secret weapon – Rorys long throw. A flick on from the towering schoolteacher Trussler saw Rob ghost in at the far post to volley home. Moments later Eason wriggled from of two challenges to finish with the most delicate of strikes with the outside of his right boot.

This caused Real to really start fouling us (like they hadn’t already) but this seemed to free up more room for the Wombles new counter attacking game. The mighty Simon Trussler rose unmarked to head in our fourth and Eason finished things off with a neat far post strike.

There was also just enough time for their centre forward to get sent off and then spit in the referees face, the worst thing I’ve seen on a football pitch in 22 years of playing at the top level.

An excellent fightback with great performances across the park, Rob in particular stood out for his non stop work rate and 2 great goals.

UP THE WOMBLES!!
