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.
