Hagenius, JonF, LukeF, Scott, Guest1, Niyi (second half)
We welcomed Hagenius and LukeF to their first match as registered players. There were 11 players so it was agreed that the Yellow Bibs would start with a player short but retain the right to call on an opposition player to switch sides at nominal half time.
First half ended Orange Bibs 3 – 0 Yellow Bibs
Niyi switched from Orange Bibs to the Yellow Bibs
Yellow Bibs scored 4. Orange Bibs scored 3 then last kicks of the match VIIGeorgeVII struck the crossbar and the rebounded ball was scored to bring the Orange Bibs’ tally to 7.
Final score Orange Bibs 7 – 4 Yellow Bibs
When asked later how the Orange Bibs managed to hold on to win after the half time loss of a player andyhibbert confidently said it was Rope-a-Dope. Apparently in boxing this is a strategy of laying back on the ropes, pretending to be exhausted, causing your opponent to throw lots of tiring blows then rushing out and punishing them. In truth that summed up the second half for the Oranges as they did score mainly by very fast counter attacking.
Match awarded to the Orange Bibs.
Let’s do it all again next match at Tottenham Wednesday FC
