A new correspondent

This post comes to you courtesy of Matt 'The Daddy' Coombs who witnessed the action on Monday in a thrilling draw/win in the cup. Iscape are the team playing in white kicking anything that moves.

As you saw we drew 2-2 (although we get a goal head start so we won 3-2). I came off really disappointed, having not won due to their keeper playing very well, our ability to keep hitting the crossbar or post and general bad luck, however the rest of the team seemed quite happy not to have lost for a change. We bossed the game from the start to finish, despite their status of being a Premier League team (albeit with just 1 point all season, so there is a very good chance we will play them next season). They went 1-0 up thanks to another 'wonder strike' against us. Kev claims to have kicked the back of the blokes foot which then propelled the ball at some pace into our goal off the corner of post/crossbar. We did equalise shortly after following a good bit of possession which ended in me trying to roll the ball into Dave's feet, who was loitering in their area. The ball appeared to hit the back of Dave's foot, which is when Kev swooped with his 'fox in the box' instincts and left foot, BANG - 1-1. They then went back into the lead following a throw from around the halfway line which was launched over the heads of our backtracking defence, only for their player to nip in between Henry and the back 3 and slot home. After a sustained period of pressure from I-Scape, the equaliser finally came following a scramble in the opposition goal mouth. The ball was blocked, then rebounded back off the crossbar and then fell to me and I rifled the ball left footed into the net. Even then we pushed on looking for a 3rd goal, but only to be foiled.

Although there could be quibbles about the paragraphing, I can find little to question in this masterpiece. There is clearly more competition for journalism in the team than attributes more commonly found on the football field.
