Sassco.co.uk 2 AA Fabrications 2<\/strong><\/em> The game kicked off with AA having the majority of the chances. They drew first blood when Josh Lay was unmarked and struck from distance. Mistakes were being made by Sassco all the time and the cumbersome Mark Muers was waddling around like a harpooned whale. It didn’t look good for Sassco. It was even worse when Wooton, who had announced that he wasn’t signing for Sassco after all, despite filling out the dreaded form, hammered what seemed to be the nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n
\nSassco won 2-0 on penalties.<\/em>
\nNothing short of a staggering comeback from a depleted Sassco team. Missing were Kyle Robinson and the iconic David Simpson. In stepped myself (Sangha) in goal, unwisely boasting of some of my cat like reflexes in the recent tournament win for Azure. On the other hand, Josh Lay was truly confident they’d gain the Double. After all, AA had walloped Sassco 9-0 only a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
