| Irregulars Slip One Through The Gate Irregulars 1 Ballsgate 1 In a small field a man awoke to find the sun setting, his companions gone, and his new neighbour a raging bull. To stay would be foolish, to run idiotic. The beast must be faced and some token taken, before he could leave with pride. So it was last Saturday as Puckering, playing for their footballing lives, faced Ballsgate, a team who they have not beaten in ten years. The game swung backwards and forwards over two halves until a late goal by Ballsgate seemed to leave the Irregulars fatally wounded. But as the watchers sighed, young Burstow gathered the ball on an incisive pass from his father and with a quick strike slipped it through the defenses of the Ballsgate goalkeeper. Father and son were seen to nod approval as the result leaves Puckering needing two more points from their last two games. Report by Lumpy Gaites In other news.... In a shocker that has the village league agog, St. Annes scored twice in the last five minutes to beat E. Imbiben. For Imbiben the loss was both controversial for the overtime penalty that allowed St. Annes to score the winning goal and costly. Imbiben midfield star, Liam Brady, broke his leg in the altercation that lead to the penalty and will be out the rest of the season. |
