The season at the Gifford is grinding to a miserable end with the teams ploughing their way through an endless run of re-arranged matches, except the first team who had no game at all last weekend, much to ashen-faced supreme Martin Black’s chagrin.
The thirds, meanwhile, stagger from success to failure in a heartbeat.
Bone-idle student layabout Nigel ’10 halves’ Johansen capped a dire performance at Brandon Sports two weeks ago by hammering an unstoppable shot past…er…his own keeper.
Nonetheless, the village managed to defeat the hosts 4-1.
However, last week the tables were turned when the As visited Filton and faced an old adversary Stinky Turner (59).
Predictably, our boys missed a shed load of easy chances before Turner leapt like a salmon at a corner to power in a header from all of 12 inches.
Ben Bennett and ‘Big’ Jordan did their best to increase the home side’s lead with a series of blunders but in the end the village settled for a 1-0 defeat.
