Abbreviated Match Report: Sporting Apostrophes vs Frutti di Mare
“Hawkins and Kimberley show their ‘Birmingham Flair’ in a game of street onionball, in a rare, previously unreleased photo from the Apostrophes archive.”
Last Sunday’s encounter with promotion-chasing Frutti di Mare resulted in a 10-2 mauling for the Super A’s.
“They were better than us: you better, you better, you bet,” chairman Ernest Borgnine waxed lyrically on his diamond-encrusted microphone, aping The Who’s Roger Daltrey. “We’re following the same worrying trend as last season: 7 points from the first 5 matches, then disastercatastrophe. It’s not good enough: we need to turn the beat around.”
Onion bag violations for Correa and Pacheco were the only highlights of what proved to be a miserable day for the world’s favourite football team. A terrible injustice!
Score: 2-10
Squad: Bell, Correa, Farnsworth, Kimberley, Pacheco, Stickland.
Goals: Correa (1), Pacheco (1).
That pic looks a little bit too “Blades of Glory” for my liking…
