A rampant Ramsbury FC put 5 past Moredon FC in a match that was played on 3g because Moredon’s pitches were unplayable. However, that did stop Ramsbury who produced a great result even with an injury hit reduced side!
El Tel Seano provided the following match report and also managed a cameo performance at the ripe old age of 78….and in doing so defies medical science and also football legend in being a player-manager that has seen more impossible action than Tom Cruise and with more grey hair than Dumbledore’s beard!
Apparently, El Tel Seano missed the first goal as someone…lets just say Rob…or Skips maybe…floated the ball over the Moredon defence for Nathan to run on to and smash it in to make it 1-0. A thing of real quality apparently.
Seano then did see young boy Joe score an absolute beauty as left wing back as he rinsed the Moredon right back and then blasted the ball past the keeper to make it 2-0. It was all going well despite the Moredon lino’s attempt to wave his flag like it was the finish to a 1960s Grand Prix win (Seano was there…apparently?) to say it was offside…until he was reminded of the rules of the game by the Referee! The lino then threw down the flag and an equally incompetent Moredon sub took up the lino duty! Luckily the Ref was a good one and thankfully stuck to making the key decisions.
Joe was on a role and from a superb corner by Rob headed in another absolute beauty to make it 3-0 before half time. Ash did have to make some good saves and the defence and midfield were are times tested, but Ramsbury were easily the better side.
In the second half Moredon came out all guns blazing and really went for it with more players forward in a an aggressive high line. Ramsbury with held the pressure and a quick burst down the wing saw Nathan get fouled and up stepped Rob and does what Rob does best with a curler of a free kick that the keeper got a lard hand on to it to help it into the top corner to make it 4-0…..Ramsbury were cruising!
However, a bit of complacency set in and Moredon kept the pressure up and got a corner….and true to form….Ramsbury don’t protect the goal….or communicate…and a mix up between Ash and Joe sees Joe head into his own net to make it 4-1….not the kid of hat trick Joe would have wanted and El Tel Seano is furious and spitting feathers in his well worn sheepskin…if that is really a thing?
Ramsbury woke up a bit and Prez and Skips were dominating midfield with Nathan a menace up front and Jake taking the mickey out of the Moredon who was threatening to snap him in two….but Jake was safe as the left back couldn’t count that high….and Jake was just too good…..and everyone was distracted by George showing off his 1990s Hadji skills to show Ellis that his Dad still has it….with a terrific side pass by Nathan to side foot into the net to make it 5-1 and maintain a 4 goal lead. Ellis was ecstatic…George was relieved and the crowd looked on in amazement…apparently!
Moredon did get another as their forwards realised what they were on the pitch for and after some good play forced a great save by Ash that looked to be going out but was kept in by Moredon past Chris’s outstretched leg and a sliding Adam could not prevent their no10 from slotting it in to make it 5-2 with 10 minutes to go.
George was playing like Hadji’s grandad doing walking football, so El Tel Seano dropped the sheepskin and dons his no 17 shirt and slips seamlessly into his 1997 CDM role for a majestic 10 minute cameo that had him dreaming if he kept going to 100 he would get a card from the King!?…Apparently!!!!
The game was played out and Saw Ramsbury take all 3 points in a well fought win!
For those not mentioned…I apologise but take it up with the gaffer as it is his report. No SoS and I guess Joe was MoM for his 3 goals!!!!
No game next week and just training….and hopefully George will have recovered enough to be able to walk as quick as El Tel Seano can run!!
