Mustard 8 – Currency Solutions 3
With 2 straight defeats things were starting to turn sour for the defending Champions in what looks like being yet another tight season in the top flight. If Mustard are something however, then it is certainly resilient and the return from injury of influential playmaker and rock steady linch pin (as well as all round Mustard legend) Baker and a keeping debut for Sam ‘they called me the cat at primary school’ Donovan (oh did I tell you about my film on channel4), Mustard went into the game against title pushers Currency with confidence in the ascendancy.
The ‘Keen’ started brightly with flair and precision, a trade mark of previous dominating performances, bamboozling the frustrated Currency squad, who had incidentally started the game with only 3 of their 7 players signed on. Ringer really doesn’t come close…
The rejuvenated and highly prized Cookson again showed the crowds why his captain has kept faith (throughout his penalty giveaway nightmare) by bagging the first early on and things looked rosy. However, Mustard somehow sat back and forgetting their debacle from the previous game against the league’s new comers, allowed Currency to hit 3 with no reply with Baker strangely at fault for 2 of the goals.
Half time and normality was restored. In congress with previous seasons the Mustard changed ends as calmly as they had started the game and began the second half as though nothing had happened. This new found calmness is a recent edition to the ever bulging arsenal of weapons the yellows now have at their disposal, and it served them to great effect, hitting an untainted 7 to complete a comprehensive 3rd win in 5.
Skip marvel signalled his come back to scoring ways, sinking his considerable goal drought and starting the Mustard off on their ‘free for all’ scoring rampage. Ever sprightly and willing whippersnapper Hyde hit 3 with a Cookson special sandwiched in between making the score an unattainable 6-3. There was still time however, for Cookson to steal the headlines and hit his hatrick of hatricks this season (a record that will surely take some beating, even in a league of this quality). Baker rounded off a dominating and authority stamping performance by the Mustard (yet unusually jaded by his high standards) by slotting the 8th and final goal through the forlorn Currency keepers legs, sending a subliminal message never to mess with the yellows. It only ends in embarrassment…
Life aint real without a touch of spice.
