A Hot Day in St Albans

The Green Party once said "The Dolphins and Whales are our friends of the
sea - so don't fucking slaughter them and put them in cans". This is good
advice to everyone who plays the modern game we call soccer and I think this
advice was taken to heart last Sunday when Sunnyside B took on the almighty
Yellow Peril known as Richmond.
The day may be best remembered for the splendid pre-spring weather and
colourful aromatic daffodils bursting up in the far corner of the park. The
infamous Norwester also play a part that day soaring the temperature up into
the high 20¹s . It brought back memories of my early school days playing in
Mr Browns hayshed with Mark and Glenn....anyway the strikers wasted no time
and made their familiar assault on the opposition notching up three quick
goals in succession including a  stunning shot by Ronnie G giving the term
"what a blinder" a whole new meaning. However some of us couldn't miss out
on the goal fest and decided to score at the other end (I think that is 3
for the season Neamo!). A special mention for the big man on the field (you
know who you are) for an outstanding attempt on goal, a great response from
the sideline - its great to have all the support we can.
A much needed rest at halftime for refreshments (how hard is it to buy some
fucking non GM oranges!). At this stage a dramatic and bold decision was
made by passing the captaincy over to Bloody Hippy bringing a change of
feeling throughout the team. This brought on a couple more goals and proving
that this unusual move was no one-off fluke.
Soon after the Captain was subbed back on and something happened from that
moment on, maybe it was the soft and moist ground, or the sun beating down
into their eyes or it could of been the young children in the playground
watching nearby but the strikers seem to go through a lapse in concentration
letting Richmond gain a late charge and score two not-so-easy goals. Heads
hung, faces dropped, eyes rolled, foul words were spoken, it was a mess, a
dark period in Sunnyside history. What seemed like an eternity but was
actually only 15 minutes the state of play remained in the strikers half
producing an astonishing 23 goal kicks in a row. What happened? Who was to
blame? Where was communication? What was for dinner tonight? Once the rot
had stopped and the game swung back to the Strikers it was all too late as
the full time whistle blew giving the better team a much deserved 6-3 win.
