Werder Beermen win at last!

On a bitterly cold evening we managed to win a game even though we actually drew. That means it was a cup game and started a goal down before winning the game 4 - 3. I managed to score a penalty awarded after an exciting run from Phil was halted and Craig brilliantly set up Spanish Dave to tap in after a proper move with passes from the back. We stuttered then and were pulled back to level with the goals summing up our current bad fortune. There were so many deflections I think the ball hit everyone for their second but we hit back.
Again a good move saw Dave freed to score from close in. Sadly conceded again with Rich horribly exposed. Not a pretty sight!
To his credit Richie burst forward on the frozen surface from goal to set up another chance for Dave who saw his shot strike a hand and hit the bar. No penalty but Richie got the ball and tricked his way to a spot kick.
Bravely he strode up to score with a nonchalant strike and see us home by 4 goals to 3.
Craig enjoyed his first victory in the famous white shirt!
Only took 4 months.
