South Cheshire 0 - Lymm 7
A Broken Tooth, but no broken run of wins.
You can imagine our surprise when we arrived at the South Cheshire's pitch and
Mark B was awaiting our arrival. That's right our arrival, not us waiting
for him. Imagine our second surprise when Ben H (capt.) assumed there was
a substitute and when Big Phill and Ross counted there were only 11 players
people were claiming that we were thick and would be fined later on, until Ben
recounted and realised that he was the one who had made the numpty
mistake. After these two strange and weird incidents we knew we would be
up against it, despite the score-line.
Lymm began the game slowly, complacently and made many mistakes that were capitalised
on by the young and skilful individually players of South Cheshire 3rds.The
dead lock was broken when a timely pass from Phill to Andrew S who turned on
the spot, like in the days of old, and slipped in a nicely timed
shot.After many pushes of Lymm pressure on the South Cheshire defence, Lymm
were awarded a penalty corner, which was superbly finishes off by Ross A. Minutes
passed and the ball once again arrived in the South Cheshire area and guess who
was there to finished of excellent sweep shot at the near post, not our
attackers, but Ross A again.
Mid-way through the second half, one of our resident coppers Rick B, caught a
stick in the gob and hit the floor like a sack of spuds. He arose with his
mouth bleeding and claimed that his tooth had been knocked out. Captain Ben
H and Vice captain Big Phill, went over and proceeded to claim that Rick
had not knocked his tooth out which, progressively angered Rick B who eventually
found the second half of his tooth and threw it at Ben and Phill, announced
that he had found it and that Ben and Phill are no dentists, so he went and
spoke to the 'Dentist Doctor Armie'.
After many failed attacking attempts from the Lymm forwards South Cheshire could
not clear their lines and Andrew S was there again to wipe up the mess and add
another goal to his tally.
During the second half Lymm were still struggling to gain any tempo and any real
threat on the South Cheshire goal. Cookie ran the right wing continuous
and credit to him because he had a young nippie 14 year old on his tail through
out the second half. Lymm succeeded in some attacks due to few South
Cheshire mistakes and were awarded a short corner. Ben H our drag flick
specialists scored a fantastic, surprise surprise, a drag flick and the keeper
stood no chance.
From the previous weeks amazing win at Neston Lymm were bound to show some brilliance
and that came in the second half when the ball was won in the middle of the
field and was released to Ben H who threaded Andy H through and enticed the
keeper towards him and fantastically and unselfishly square
passed it to Phill who had a easy finish into a empty goal.
Shortly after Lymm were given a free hit outside the area. Ben stood up
and perfectly timed a push flick through to Andy who lightly deflected the ball
passed the keeper into the far bottom corner. All celebrated Andy H's
debut league goal and hope that there are many more to come.
Lymm demonstrated that even though they can play rather poorly can secure a victory,
and that is the foundations of a good team. However if Lymm come into
stiffer more organised opposition they could easily find themselves looking at
another score line in the oppositions favour.
