Murton’s chaos delivers a result. Sangha is humiliated in front of a large crowd.

Murton and Robinson proved their worth in front of the big crowd of around ten people. Sangha’s team folded and collapsed within minutes of Nelly making his first complaint.

After last week’s diabolical capitulation against Sassco, a result which nearly drove Murton into administration (as he was banking on the £5 win for the mini-competition to cut down his entrance costs), this week saw the team much improved. Yes Trigger has been banned from all football and put on the sex offenders list, so Murton “stole” Kev McCluskey from Nissan and put Carl “Carlos” Middlemiss outfield.

Their opponents, Downhill Impact, were struggling. It was left to Simma to run the team and the first tactical error occured when he put himself outfield and the portly Bri Marley in goal. The result was never in doubt. The Murton / Robinson double act was finally producing the goods, as well as its own homoerotic undertones with both players working off each other. Jimmy Raeper got in on the act with two goals, but Kyle finally let go of the “over the hill” shackles with a hat-trick. Carlos, Woody and Bunta added the other goal.

A disaster for Sassco. Even as the whistle was blowing, Nelly was in full whinge blow because I couldn’t manage to prize Ronaldinho away from his day off to take apart a strong Nissan side. Even Logan was struggling with errors and will no doubt be self harming again tonight. Saying that – Nissan were well on form and fully deserved their “favourites” tag. Just as Nelly had finished his first stage whinge, they scored and soon racked up five goals in the first half. Sassco didn’t know what to do with themselves. The second wasn’t much better. Sassco did score two, but Nissan had notched up eight goals by then. Mark Moon scored a hat-trick, Mark Catcheside scored two, along with Calvert. Josh Lay only managed the one.

It’s quite obvious that the challenge is a two horse race. Murton’s minions against the ultra-professional Nissan. Josh Lay claims that despite Murton’s revival, “they haven’t got a chance. And that Kyle. I’ll tell you what – I’ve seen aircraft carriers turn faster than him.”

Note that you can now access more player and team statistics in the League Table and Results page. Simple click on to the team name (in results and the table) and then a little drop down menu will appear showing additional options. It’s still under construction, but seems to be functional.

I think now is the time for me, Davinder Sangha, to step down from running the 11-a-side team (I’ll still be running the six-a-side and any overseas tours, etc. as well as the website). Anthony Pearson is going to take over.

I nearly stepped down last season, but Brian Watson came in and assisted heavily with the admin side of things, so I was happy to continue for another year. However, this season, we lost a lot of players, with the likes of Gourlay, Dixon now stepping down, Simon Mulvaney being absent for most of the back end of the season, plus lack of commitment from good players such as Gareth Stoker and Scott Smith.

This meant that a lot of younger players have recently come in – most of them arranged by Anth Pearson, so to watch us old folks trying to keep up with them was a bit embarrassing. Anth will be running things and in control of everything, but he will no doubt be assisted by the rest of the side. The website will also be updated by myself, but only if someone sends in a report and photos (if possible).

Good luck to Anth. I’ve left the team in a healthy position. He has two sets of excellent kits, nets, pegs, etc as well as the league and pitch fees paid up to December.
