Abbreviated match report: Sporting Apostrophes vs One Flew Into The Keepers Net
Yesterday’s final “Super Sunday” installment against old rivals One Flew Into The Keepers Net ended in an unfortunate 8-2 defeat for the Super A’s.
“That’s three times we’ve played them, three times we’ve tasted their tartan punishment” wept chairman Ernest Borgnine, his anger at the lack of progress palpable. “Our first encounter at Old Street was close, the second somewhat less so, and today we’re bummed by an 8-ball to a deuce. Mark my words, heads will roll for this.”
For the umpteenth time this season, Sporting Apostrophes inferior fitness proved their undoing. The team played some joyous tippy-tappy loveball in the first half, to the delight of the capacity crowd, but with the substitutes bench a barren, lonely place, and energy levels flagging, things inevitably went awry after half time.
An inspired performance by sheathmaster Stickland and a brace for Wessely were the only highlights of a disappointing match, as the Super A’s, outclassed by their Irn-Bru-fuelled foes, succumbed to yet another sickening defeat. A terrible injustice!
Score: 2-8
Squad: Hawkins, Hinceman, Stickland, Wessely, White.
Goals: Wessely (2).
