Game Abandoned, I know people want to know how the boy was and he has concusion and hopefully will be fine, needs to keep quiet for the rest of the day and hopefully no further complications. .
A lovely day and good parents greeted us for our game against the Vikings. Unfortunately the incident at the end has caused everybody concern.
We played an experimental formation and gave Elvis AKA Grant, the opportunity to play an attacking midfield role and Adam half a game in defense. Starting with 3 at the back and 5 in midfield.
We scored 3 good goals by 12 minutes (Grant 1 and Harry had 2). On the whole Vikings tried hard and made some useful tackles and played some good positional football at times. We were caught on the break to make it 3-1 and then Cam scored for 4-1. After this Witney dug in a bit and were rewarded with a dubious penalty after George D was alleged to have butchered their player in our box. 4-2 at HT.
2nd Half we were rewarded with a penalty Im not sure that was either. Harry scored his hatrick then Grant scored 2 more for his hatrick. FT 7-2
Unfortunately the game ended about 6-8 minutes early due to an unfortunate injury to a Witney player who was concussed after a challenge with Harry. He was exceptionally poorly and we wish him the best, he was immediatley taken to hospital and any futher play would not have changed the result, a good choice by the referee. Other incidents involved two bloody noses for Witney players which is most unusual. I have never seen this before in any matches we have played.
The injuries were probably a reflection of how hard the Witney players tried to close down and battle, at times they looked good and at others they followed the ball about. We compounded the problem at times by being drawn to the ball as well. Probably not the most exciting game to watch but we prevailed.
Special mentions to Grant who got three goals (A well deserved reward for a player who sacrifices his forward presence each week for the team as our resident lightning centre back, he is so good at the back he saves us far more goals than any player could score up front) and Adam who played well in defense but has a most peculiar Praying Mantis style for his headers but they were very effective. A bit like Johnny Wilkinson.
Well done to all including the Vikings, Man of the Match George Butcher Doye for some nice passing, defending and penalties! Sponsored by Butchers Dog Food.

If anyone stayed beyond the end of the game they were treated to a pair of frilly nickers and a rare pair of lilly white legs by our resident exhibitionist Mark T. All of a sudden when he took his trousers down their was a blinding light (the sun being refracted from a pair of white legs) and it was at that point I realised that Mark had once again taken them off. Lynne can you ask him to keep his trousers on in future when not in the privacy of you own home.
Our best wishes go to the injured Witney player, get well soon.
Next week Bicester Town Colts Yippee! Lynne can you buy mark some normal underwear please.
