Abbreviated Match Report: Sporting Apostrophes vs U.B.O.C.
“No shermanizing from Stickland, just quality deputising”
Sporting Apostrophes chalked up another three points on Sunday in what proved to be a chaotic match for the world’s favourite football team.
“We had very few players fit and available this week,” chairman Ernest Borgnine conceded. “With transport problems and last-minute alcohol injuries thrown into the mix, it’s remarkable that we managed to get anything from this game, but I’m proud of the boys nonetheless.”
With so few players available for selection, Cameo made his second appearance of the season, and, remarkably, his son pulled on the famous yellow jersey for the first time, such was the Apostrophes’ need.
Match highlights include: an incredible 5-goal haul for Hannigan-Daley, capping a virtuoso performance; Stickland’s clean silk sheets in the second half; Correa’s trademark, bullish play, buoyed by stereo onion; Pacheco’s refusal to take the field until all three points were in the bag; Cameo and his son helping the Super A’s cause.
The Super’s A’s lie sixth in the table, their hopes of promotion less likely than a Bobby Robson omelette. A terrible injustice!
Score: 8-4
Squad: Cameo, Cameo Jnr, Correa, Hannigan-Daley, Pacheco, Stickland.
Goals: Hannigan-Daley (5), Correa (2), Cameo (1).
