Redhouse Storm’s debut ends in a defeat.

Sassco.co.uk 4 Bunker UK 0.
Sassco comfortably defeated Bunker with two goals from Bell and two from Muers. The first half was 1-0 and there were opportunities for Bunker to equalise. Once the second goal went in, Sassco had plenty of chances, while Simpson made some excellent stops to make sure his team kept a clean sheet.

Roker Roar 1 Redhouse Storm 0.
A debut for the new side, Storm, in similar conditions, as the rain hurtled down. Roker Roar, who sprung to life in last weeks surprise 1-0 over Rockets, did the same this week. Storm dominated the game, but in their only chance of the first half, Roar fired in the only goal.

Redhouse Rockets 3 Seaburn Soca 2.
The best game of the night saw Rockets take the lead, but Seaburn replied and then scored what seemed to be the winner. However, with time running out and the rain not letting up, Rockets equalised and then struck soon after to take the win.

Debut defeat for Roker Roar.

Downhill Impact 3 Redhouse Rockets 2.
An impressive and singular performance from David “Jimmy” Raeper saw Downhill Impact reverse a one-goal deficit to eventually win 3-2 against a strong Rockets team. Impact took a 2-1 lead, before Rockets pegged it back to 2-2. Eventually, Raeper deftly scored the winner.

Redhouse Fusion 11 Seaburn Soca 0.
A rude awakening for Seaburn Soca. A defeat off Sassco last week was narrow, but this time, they faced the rampant Fusion, a team who have a penchant for hammering goals past new teams.

Sassco.co.uk 4 Roker Roar 0.
Sassco were toying with the debut team, Roker, after taking a 1-0 lead, but soon received a shock when Tommy Bell (on his debut for Sassco) was “megged” and it was 1-1. Normal service resumed when another debutante, Steve “Borat” Anderson, struck to make it 2-1. Both Borat and Bell made Muers look good and Sassco secured a 4-1 lead and win.

Lack of numbers; inevitable defeat.

I was as surprised as anyone on the pitch that we were 2-0 up in a difficult first half. Gourlay had struck first and Muers struck soon after. At this time, Traveller’s seemed to run out of steam, despite having the most of the play. Both our goals came from break outs from their moves.

Surprise as well considering Hembrough, McDermont, Langan, Campbell were all missing. Back line was actually me (left back), Stoker, Mulvaney and Simma. Making his debut was Mickey Oliver. We knew we were lacking in numbers, so Mickey would mainly be used for midweek games. However, he made an impressive debut and had a hand in both goals.

Yet, despite being 2-0 ahead at half-time, the second half saw two give-away goals, before Mickey Oliver had to limp off with an injury, but did manage to make himself useful by taking the majority of the photos. But, after he was off, it was over. Traveller’s scored again and ran up a 5-2 scoreline. Muers was on his own in attack and didn’t really provide an outlet once we were down to ten men.

The long unbeaten run comes to a disappointing end. Had we managed to get out a first eleven, I’m sure we’d have done better. No matter…
