Relegation dog fight!

Keen as Mustard 5 - 4 LECG Independiente FC

Not words usually accotiated with the mustard. But after a very topsy turvey season finding themselves needing a win and three points. This would  almost gaurantee  top flight survival. Having Whip ya all,  the potential champions in the final game no risks could be taken.

The match report may be vague due to a couple of weeks passing and several pints of cider. As i arrived the early signs were good, Trevor “the turtle” Finding had given his joints a dam good lubricating prior to kick off and was just polishing off the remainder of his third pint. Obviously extremely nervous and feeling the pressure. The rest of the lads had had the standard water and seemed upbeat. Maybe because of the tremendous rallying call from the gaffer.

The game kicked off and the mustard started at a good pace and had a couple of half chances.  After some good passing and teamwork Tom Hyde mananged to score to put the mustard in front. But a lapse in concentration allowed the opposition to equalise with a decent effort leaving the turtle no chance. Again Tom Hyde pulled the mustard in front with another oppotunity that he had created for himself. As we all know the mustard don’t like to do anything easy and went in at half time two apiece.

The second half was a different story. limiting the number of shots at the turtle. The passing improved and the work rate was superb, expecially from the dynamic Chris “but you can call me Christine” Baker. With so much at stake we dominated the second half but with the few shots we allowed them each one seemed to hit the back of the net.  Three goals  from angus, chris and the gaffer sealed the win. Chris chalking up 29 goals (27 of which coming via various parts of the shin pad) leaving him two goals behind all time record goal scorer dicky thornton.

Lets look forward to another season in the Premier were we belong!
