Friday saw a pulsating 3-3 draw!!

The game developed into a clash of the two titans of the dribbling game; Alex for us and
Ross for them. The opposition started the scoring with a smart goal from young Sam
and then we clawed back into the game with goals from Steve and Henry (2), probably
against the run of play. However, we were being pegged back by two goals from Ross.
I was the last defender both times but I was not close enough to snuff out the danger.
Alex and Ross seemed to have a good hack at each other in the corner when Ross popped out like a jack-in-a-box to equalise 3-3 with an angled shot past Steve in goal and this was despite my despairing tackle. Ross could have won it for them at the end following a precision pass by Goughie but it fell onto his weaker left foot.
Spizz did not have a shot on goal for us since he was playing too deep.
On our side were Alex, Gashead, Geoff, Henry, Spizz, Steve and me while they had Ross, Big Dave, the two Ians, young Sam, who was substituted by his mate Adam,
Simon Gooner and Simon Inkp. At the end we were hanging on a bit due to a lack of tracking back and poor positional play. Sometimes we would have three players hugging the left touchline, who would be out of the game when the ball bounced into the middle.
