Donovan Earns 50th Cap, Brown is the Hero (Adam)
The Bell Inn maintained their 100% record in all competitions with a 5-2 win at home to DEFC, the game in a word was rubbish, The Bell inn were terrible in the first half and found themselves behind for the first time all season, yes it is hard to believe we were losing a game we are simply too good to put ourselves into losing positions.
DEFC signed on accomplished player John Muir before the game who had spells with Lakeford FC in his youth days, and more recently Wymondham Rangers. Full Career Statistics are available on his wikipedia page. www.wikipedia.org/john.muir
With many players hungover the Bell inn started the game very slow and disjointed and quickly found themselves 1-0 down to lets be honest a pretty poor side. Dale Simpson made it level shortly after with the use of his patented trick called the Simpson ricochet, for those of you who aren’t familiar with this piece of magic, it is when Dale dribbles with the ball and gets ‘tackled’ numerous times with the ball ricocheting off his knees and the opposition players and the ball still falls nicely at his path with him left to finish the ball nicely into the top corner of the net, this now makes Simpson Joint top scorer for the club with 9 goals with myself obviously.
The Rest of the second half was poor and i didn’t really watch it, i was too busy enjoying myself with the ultra’s who made the game much more entertaining and were the highlight of my morning. But i do know that the first half score was 1-1.
The second half saw us make one change with Bean coming off for Adam Brown, who occupied his normal centre midfield role, Pushing Josh “Fattow” Farrow up front or you may want to refer to him as thief how he now being commonly referred to by many of his friends and associates.
The Bell inn did manage to take the lead at the beginning of the second half and quite frankly i don’t know how, and it wasn’t deserved, but Josh Farrow did finish well.
Did i mention the opposition only had 10 men for the majority of the game? if i didn’t you know now and we still struggled.
DEFC managed to pull it back to 2-2 with 30 minutes remaining with a great finish from outside the box following a challenge on Tom Collishaw, with the opposition player looping it over Donovan on the line from outside the area..
We were in danger of losing the game, despite the opposition only having 10 men we didn’t look like scoring until Adam Brown popped up in the area to make it 3-2 with 15 minutes remaining from a yard out.
Brown then turned provider when he cleverly dinked the ball over the Back line for Farrow who cooly lobbed the goalkeeper, it was a very good goal. Class some may say. There was time for Brown to score his second when he headed home from close range to make it an undeserved 5-2 victory for the Bell Inn.
I think i speak for the whole team in saying a special thanks to John Farrow, who kindly refereed the game as the designated referee did not turn up. He officiated the game well, and quite frankly no one else wanted to do it. Thank-you John.
We need to perform much better than this, the game was easily our worst performance of the season.. Hopefully we can put it behind us. I am sure Richard Donovan would rather he earned his 50th Cap in a better and more memorable game for the right reasons.
He did have this to say “50 caps for such a big club – obviously i am very proud and honoured”
Manager Tom Brown who this week is on the bench for Mulbarton ‘A’ Team due to being a very poor player had this response “I’m Embarrassed to have this clown as my captain and the sooner his knee completely gives way the better”
Im not going to give any player stats this week, we didn’t play very well and i think we just forget about how we played. MOM is obviously Adam Brown #teamsatty. He scored 2 and set up one in 45 mins. I do not know how he managed this as before the game he was seen hiding in the trees being violently sick.
Instead i am going to give the Ultra’s Ratings on how well they supported the team.
Gareth Baker – 10 Star Man.
James McCloy – 9
Jamie Butler – 9
Matty Bradfield – 9
Jonny Page – 8
Luke Rackham – 4
Lastly i would like to apologise for the delay in writing this blog, as you may know Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 was released 10 days ago and i have been playing ever since. Once playing 15 hours straight in one day, so i have had better things to be doing than sitting here writing.
Thank you for your time
