The late, late, late show

In The beautiful game on July 8, 2009 at 9:50 pm

Downpours late in the afternoon sent the traffic into chaos, and I was looking at another late showing to a 7 o’clock kick off. Luckily, the congestion eased and I made it to the game just before half-time.

Playing the bottom side in the league, a win was vital to start our push to avoid relegation. We were 2-1 up when I arrived, so that all important first goal after the break was going to be even more so. And it came and what should have been a coast to the finish again became a panic. Two quick goals and we were back in a fight, only to be saved by Donny who skipped through and rounded the keeper just before the final whistle.

In the post match analysis, it turned out that we started the game with four men! So our 4-3 win was well deserved. Four games to go and it looks like a straight fight between us and the team above to avoid the bottom two.
