Puckering Dropping Faster Than Featherstone Featherstone 4 Irregulars 1
The Irregulars, missing Knobbly Lyles, fell to ignominious defeat last Saturday
and now need five points from four games to avoid expulsion from the league. Given
Puckering's likely opponents next year, it doesn't take Alanis Morisette to see the irony
in Knobbly's absence being due to a cub scout convention.
Without Lyles intimidating presence, Puckering were no match for
Featherstone's light touch. Moving the ball around at will, their old but still magical
midfielder, Joey Greaves, floated across several enticing crosses which were stroked with
perfect ease by Featherstones main striker Frank Lambent.
For manager Walsham there some pleasure in the work of young striker Burstow, who
scored again in this game. Bert pointed out that his youth policy was now be followed at
the national level by Kevin Keegan. "Although we came away at the wrong end of this
one we were in it until the end and I didnt really think it was over until the
referee blew the final whistle. Five points from four games does mean we need to win one
though, to get us back on track, but the lads played their heart outs and you cant
ask for more than that." |
