Match Report

 

Sefton Vets lost one of their own, Mick Hanlon, this week and this match was played in his memory in a fantastic spirit. A minute’s silence at the start of the match, well observed, set the tone.

But the Ramblers’ start was explosive. Having lost the toss, the home side kicked off and ten passes and twenty seconds later, Lewis made the score 1-0. This was a first half of the best football this team has played in living memory. Somehow, every pass seemed perfectly weighted,  accurate and to the right man. There was a calm assurance, a real confidence and actually an excellence in everything that happened. It was a little harsh, though frankly flattering, to suggest that the return of the real captain and the absence of the stand-in made such a difference. RvP and Gorton together was not nostalgic because they used to be a bad pair but today were an excellent one. Sadly for Bodey, there is not another Super Vets fixture until December.

Lewis scored another after a sublime pass from Killen but the third goal was the best goal of the game and the season. Under pressure, King, Gorton and RvP played neat interchanging passes from the back and the passing kept on going until Clay slotted the ball home. The goals just kept on coming. If Mornington had intended his back heel flick for the fourth it would have been a really good goal. If the difference between the Vets and the Super Vets is that the first have retired parents and the second are just retired, then Mornington has finally qualified properly. Even DJ Mornington’s splendid retirement do the night before this match had not dulled the attendee’s appetite for goals. “Bloody hell, everyone was completely smashed at that do” said Chester. Well almost everyone.

It was 9-0 at half-time. Yes, you read it right. 9-0. The euphoria was such that Sainsbury’s basic oranges slipped through without adverse reaction. Actually, they were really quite good.

Psycho had been sporting Killer’s Liverpool training top from the sideline and the temptation to leave him there was almost, but not quite, impossible to resist. That proved to be a wise decision, as his own goal deep into the second half was worth the admission fee all on its own. More goals came. Lewis, subbed off, went over to help out the Super Vets and scored his seventh of the day.

We should savour this performance. It won’t always be this good.

Or will it?
