Polemetis saves the day

By Marcus Jones

The 2nds had smashed St Johns 7-2 (or something similarly emphatic) in the League Cup little over a month ago and that was with a team full of friends, relations and no-hopers, so I for one turned up expecting a distinctly easy fixture and was focussed more intently upon scoring the first goal, which would be the teams 100^th of the season in all competitions. However, since then they’ve either been on some sort of recruitment drive, or they’ve been taking that potion from the Nutty Professor, as they were all younger, leaner and were now able to string three passes together.

They were by far the better team in the opening exchanges and UEA didn’t start playing anything resembling football until about 10 minutes in. When they did a goal was forthcoming, with Gaskell’s shot only parried and Thornton tucking away the coveted century goal (for his troubles he got a rank can of Fosters which had been festering in Gunny’s bag since around November). Incidentally, Gunny was busy sulking on the bench as the Sandy Fox was playing left forward as part of Gaskell’s latest fad formation, 4-3-3.

The defence were incompetent for the rest of the half and Alex ‘the Greek’ Polemetis had to make 3 sharp saves to keep UEA ahead at the interval.

There was greater cohesion to UEA’s play in the second half and from Grove’s cross Gaskell smashed the ball the in with the ferocity of a jet engine.

St Johns then contrived to hit the bar after a melee in the box, before I decided to busy myself going forward. However, Jonny decided to gift them possession living us rather up the creek. However, you know what rhymes with creek……that’s right, Greek and he again made an outrageous save to preserve the clean sheet.

Meanwhile, the incredible sulk came on and he gave the proverbial finger to Gaskell’s selection policy by tucking away the third with his right foot, before Gaskell spanked home the fourth.

They weren’t bad, but we were better. 100 goals, 100% record still intact. Job done.

The thirds fail to win as league victory slips further away

Written By Dan Humphry

The 3-3 draw with Costessey at the turn of the year, meant the thirds went into this must win league game knowing they were up against a physical team that could play a little bit of football on there under 12s sized football pitch. The thirds started brightly and it wasn’t long before Chris Morris pounced on a peach of a through ball from a Costessey defender to put the thirds 1 up. The thirds then began to get a hold of the game with Gavin Butler hitting the post from a header and Andy Blackmore forcing a great save out of the surprisingly agile for a big fella Costessey goalkeeper. Not long before the half time whistle sounded the ref awarded Costessey a soft peno for a handball. 1-1. The second half became a stop start game as the ref failed to control the game and after both sides missed guilt edge chances, it was Costessey that took the lead with a soft goal that flirted with the goal before deciding to trickle over the line. The last ten minutes saw the thirds take control of the game again, a dynamic run into the box from Dan Robinson resulted a pen for the thirds, which Chris Morris put in off the post to grab his second and the equaliser. A couple of minutes later mozzie was in again and got his third, only for it to be ruled out for offside by their cheating lino, who later came up to mozzie to tell him he was actually on. A strong midfield display earned Alex Smith MOM

Paolo has taken the lead in the race for the UEA FC fantasy league championship while Sammy G the former leader drops 3 places.
