Match Report

A last minute pull-out by Upton Magnates gave the 7-match World Series against Convocation the chance to conclude. The Vets’ results: DWLLDLL

We really should have won at least two and probably three of those Ls. But losing from winning positions is becoming a rather annoying habit that is proving hard to break.

In the build to the President’s Dinner the squad was strengthened by losing Harthan to the dizzy (for him) heights of the 2nd XI. A 3pm kick off allowed enough time for hangover recovery but also, for the Red supporters, Theatre of Dreams melancholy. Harthan’s post-match sniping may mean his minutes on the pitch from now to June are severely limited. Ill-displine will not be tolerated. This did, however, lead to a more settled back four organising well in the first half and breaking well from the back. There really was some good football played, epitomised by the first goal, produced by a clever pass from Killen to Byrne who flew down the right flank (well those of you who have seen him play know what I mean) and produced the perfect cross for Rogers, who made no mistake. Chances then came and went. Oh, for a second goal and a two goal lead. Mind you, two of those Ls at the start of this report came from two up. The equaliser came when the Skipper managed only to parry a one on one with Ritchie, and when the ball ricocheted into the air, that back four feted just five sentences ago stood like statues as he nodded in the rebound.

Contrary to popular expectation, the second half started well despite the Vets being uphill and against the wind. Rogers was found in space on the left wing, this time he produced the cross to which Mornington applied a precise finish. A lead to protect, or more likely throw away. It was thrown away.

The equaliser came in almost identical fashion to the first. The lead was taken with a well drilled shot into the bottom corner. The fourth came as inevitably as night follows day. We were not without chances to pull back into the game. But they came and went.

So half way through March and 2018 is yet to produce a win. The Captain is under pressure, only oranges, a new defibrillator and the promise of beer tomorrow keeping him in place. Harthan’s insurrection may be the tip of the iceberg.

West Kirby Wasps next up. The committee have expressed confidence in the Boss. Watch this space …
