Net.Baloos 1 - 3 SBA FC
SBA took a small squad of 12 over to Marston Green and managed to win at Birmingham for the first time in the club's history. (Danny Mac, can you verify this?) -no, because it's bullshit. DM
For once there was no tomfoolery in the preparations on the day and we arrived with time to spare. Even Cledders got to the meet on time!
Personnel:
- James
- Russ
- John McCutch
- Jose Adams
- Tim
- James
- Breeno
- Carpy
- Millsy
- Edwin Van Cledwyn
- Young Dan
Dave B was on the bench.
Birmingham took the lead early on through a corner but SBA kept their heads and played some delightful football, particularly on the flanks. The full backs linked well with the wingers and the midfield kept the ball well. After 20 minutes Cledwyn crossed in for Dan to head home a well deserved equaliser.
SBA relaxed and started to play some even better football. John McCuth was excellent in the air and SBA looked like a solid unit. Cledwyn was soon to be rewarded for his efforts, when some neat trickery put him through one on one with the keeper. Cledders picked his spot and slammed the ball home. Brum 1 - 2 SBA FC.
James, who had been on a bender the night before, gave a quick chunder on the sideline, and Carpy, also on said bender had to come off. Dave B up front, Young Dan on the left and Millsy in midfield.
SBA continued to use the flanks and an excellent through ball from Millsy, a good cross from someone else and Young Dan was on hand to complete his brace.
Half time 3 - 1.
Net Baloos kept us busy in the second half and had a couple of good chances. Cool defending from the back four made sure they didn't score anymore. Millsy had a chance to sew the game up in the final ten minutes but hit his shot at the Blues defender.
Final Score Net Baloos 1 - 3 SBA FC
A well deserved victory and another record smashed by manager Ali Evans. (The other was So Macho by Sonita) We played some kick ass football in the first half and defended well in the second. All in all, a very good performance.
Shooter: James (midfield): anyone who is so hungover that they need to take a mid-match puke is a good guy in my books.
Rooter: I really can't think of anyone. Ah well.
Thanks for reading,
