It was a cold… no wait bloody freezing day in the fortress of Girton Rec as the teams prepared to face off in a fight to the death. Much to our horror the fellow Girton Reserve match was cancelled due to Camden’s fear of Malcolm. So they came to show their support to their much loved Girton A or just to verbally kick the crap out of the referee.
As I froze my bollocks off at the side of the pitch the war between Longstanton and Girton began. With a steady start to the first half it looked like the training we had done would fend off the beasts. Much to a shocking horror as Longstanton clawed a first goal sending a chill of evil down the backs of the Girton squad. However, the fortress of Girton Rec became under siege again as the home side fell victim to another Longstanton goal ending the first half in a dismal setting.
A few words from Lord Paul Buggs gave the team the power of 50 men to conquer the blue foes along with the ever-powerful Jelly Babies that warmed our souls.
As the ref blew the whistle the battle began once more with the exchange of Hussaine and the entrance of Joe the Girton squad began their decent on the Longstanton team. With good teamwork and passes of gold Joe worked his way in and around the Longstanton defence and gave Girton their much deserve first goal. With the score at 2 – 1 Girton gave away a penalty putting the team on the ropes, but to have our hearts recharged by the fabulous leap of faith by the legendary Chester ‘Badman’ Bates saving Girton from another beating. Another change was made as Theo ‘Tenacious’ Beard was replaced by Tom ‘Pork Prime’ Buggs. Girton’s lifted hearts and the morale of the team pushed on to have Tom Buggs score a second goal only to have it stolen away by the bastard with the flag at the sideline. But this unfortunate event was overcome by Danny ‘Hercules’ Pattern scoring a second sending the team and crowd wild. All the while Malcolm and his mob gave the ref something to hear about for almost every missed or given decision. With Malcolm’s words of advice to the ref ‘better to hear nothing than bullshit’ and his cries for ‘Jesus Christ’ to do something, Girton were still inspired and raring to finish this thing. As minutes ticked away Girton’s might granted them a corner at which King Nick of Girton rose to the challenge. As his head connected with ball in harmony, it was sent soaring into the back of the net causing the crowd to explode with joy and for Nick to think he was ‘simply the best’. As time began to run out Lord Paul swapped ‘Righteous’ Richard John with ‘The Flying Scotsman’ Callum. The home team battled well to keep posession and prevent Longstanton from attacking leading to Troy having a go from the halfway line which took a course of its own.
As the final whistle blew Girton cheered and smiled as the enemy was vanquished from the plains of Girton and the fortress once again stood undefeated.
apart from Him helping… well done the “A”s.. you deserved the victory. In spite off the ref doing an impression of someone who would prefer to go shopping on a Saturday afternoon, Chester’s penalty save was (apart from a few clever substitutions) the turning point, you battled well and showed the grit and determination needed to succeed in a promotion fight.
Well done and good luck against the Wolves next week !!!
