Draw number 5

It's been quite an odd season for Iscape after the mediocrity of last time round with the ninth game of the season giving us a fifth draw alongside 2 wins and 2 defeats. I think that marks us down as hard to beat.

As mentioned in previous post, Simon emerges from the game with immense credit. Without him at the back the previous match we'd conceded 4 ( I did play centre of defence which explains a lot) but on his return there was a clean sheet to celebrate although we didn't manage to score. Thanks to Doug's magnificent range of passing, several chances were created but spurned but we came closest with a delicate chip over a sprawling keeper clipping the bar after a flowing move - started by Dougie of course.

There was quite a threat from the opposition but it was stifled on the rock that is Simon Scott Douglas who marshalled Dom and Matt I with the utmost calm authority. Nick, guesting in goal, was offered every protection and was grateful on several occasions to the extent that he opted for saving any shots that came his way. Who was behind him though, making sure the ball would be turned away should the keeper fail? It was that man Doug again and he even got a round in afterwards. Someone by that fella an ice cold beer!

No game this week but the cup, a new attempt at it, starts again the following week. Incredibly the world's longest running cup competition is rumoured to be starting even though the previous effort has yet to be finished! How can this be? There must be some logic in place somewhere but it's beyond me.
