NVA & Meerkats in Bore Draw...zzzzz....zzzzz...

Jays Report on last weeks action, pretty accurate really so can't be arsed to write any more...

I searched Google images for "Football Sleep" and this image came up, so i thought i'd pop it in.


Results Wed 16 March:


Meerkats 0 v 0 NVA; Athletico 0 v 0 Mauled FC; Angel 0 v 6 ONE10

Meerkats are the Champions...

The evening started on a knife edge, with the Meerkats needing only a single point to claim victory. They even had the goal difference to suffer a loss and theoretically still win the league, with a 6 goal cushion over second place 110.

NVA v Meerkats.

Both teams started well in this vital fixture, with the Meerkats looking to seal the Championship and NVA looking to finish a glorious season in style with a big scalp. The passing was crisp and the energy rate was strong from both sides. There were a few half chances at either end, but nothing the caused too much concern. the nearest effort came from the thumping boot of Johnny Hardcastle, who unleashed a fierce drive from mid way into the NVA half. Unfortunately he was narrowly wide of the target and Big Al in goals never looked to worried.

Meanwhile...

ONE10 v Angel
Angel had the misfortune of facing a 110 team that gave their best ever performance and one that if they repeat in the top division next season will have a few of the top teams worried. Angel didn’t play badly, but found themselves blown away as 110 won 6 v 0. 110 based their game on a solid base in defence and midfield along with the silky skills of Mosquito and the goal threat of the division’s top scorer McLachlan up front. Time and again 110 ripped through Angel with short sharp passing and intelligent movement with McLachlan firing in a fantastic four goals , Mosquito hit one and Downing adding another with a powerful drive. Chances were few and far between for Angel, with Marcel wasting the few half chances that came Angel’s way. Magnificent victory for the army lads.
Back on pitch 1...
The second half started with Meerkats playing more reserved football, which grew as the half went on, to the point over borrowing the Athletico bus at times. At the back, Des was controling the pace of the game for the Kats, whilst the frustrated NVA players found it difficult to get hold of the ball. On the odd busrt forward, the Kats wasted possession around the half way mark, but worked tirelessly to win the ball back. The three back players for NVA (Hebblethwaite, Brinham and Harley all played their part in stiffling the Meerkats when the did break. In the end the Kats saw out the clock and apologised to their opposition for being so boring, but it was job done and Championship won!

Mauled v Athletico

Unfortunately this game was so short of life that referee Jacko has refused to write a report, stating that the only incidents he could report on were the two kick-offs!

Also worth noting that Dave Brinham was absolutely phenomenal in our final game and was player of the season by a mile... he has been bitchin that he never gets a mention in the write ups (probably because I always overshadow him, and Bill normally writes them and clearly doesn't rate him) so I thought i'd give him a little shout. Jay has acknowledged your prowess this week anyway Dave, so i don't know why I bothered really.

All in all, our best ever season, tinged with a little regret that we did not really push for promotion. If we could just get shot of them pesky Army teams with their tanks and their bombs ...and their bombs and their guns...

Damaged ankles, damaged pride.

Firstly I would like to apolgise to Al for my failure to return his England top. Hannah washed it and folded it up nicely, but I failed to bring it along. I am truly sorry.

Secondly I would like to spell apologise correctly.

Also, cheers for last week's write up Chris, some excellent use of words and stuff.




The biggest game of the season and this is what I get:



Sorry Will, calf's not cleared up from Sunday, I can take some pictures though.


Sorry Will, I have put my career before the NVA and am currently at a seminar in Manchester.


Sorry Will, ankles still a bit sore, might be able to go in goal.


Sorry Will, I have something better to do with my time.



We have seven full time squad members and I get big girlie excuses from 4 of them. Injury crisis methinks.




Fortunately I later on heard this:

'Certainly Will, I would love to pull on the Yellow. Ever since hearing about the NVA I have dreamed of nothing else'

'I have consulted my army of ants and they think I should play, so I'm in'

'I can come out of goal and rend then asunder, if that helps'



Crisis somewhat averted.



With Chris H injured (Calf), Dave B otherwise engaged (seminar), Dave G a bit injured (torn glove) and Starky unavailable (er, unavailable) things were looking rather dicey for a game that could, if we won it, guarantee us second place (The highest place we could get without getting promoted and therefore getting gupped for the whole of next season). However Burnley Chris, a nine feet tall man mountain and Ant man Nick, a nine feet wide man mountain (in a good way, so the ladies tell me) stepped up to the plate to help us out. Burnley Chris has actually offered his services full time, an offer which I have gratefully received. Also the Gadie glove disaster was averted by sticking him in goal, where he got some nice big gloves, and giving Al a run outfield.

The match started well, as is usually the case. They had more of the ball but our defending was solid, as was Gadie in goal and there was not much threat to the scoreline. At the other end we were also creating some chance, with the opposition leaving some big gaps, especially down the left flank. Chris and Nick settled in well Chris' legs intercepting the ball from at least 2 metres away and Nick putting in some excellent tackles and letting the opposition know he was there. Ben received the ball on the edge of their box but it simply would not sit for him and his shot went wide.
As the game continued we began to slow, this was evident whenever our keeper received the ball, nobody pushed out, meaning that when the ball was pumped upfield the majority of our players were still on the edge of our box fifty yards away from Rob, giving him little chance of holding onto it, although we were able to exploit the big gaps down their flanks from a few of the long kicks.


near the beginning of the second half 110 scored, changing the game as it meant that we had to commit more men, this lead to an almost instant second goal for them, leaving us a mountain to climb. ironically the opposition probably spend alot of time running up mountains, probably with tanks on their back. Our need to score and their considerably higher fitness levels began to show and a third goal came not long after, although it was a long range effort that Gadie was unable to pick up on as it came out of a sea of players.

Although pulling three goals back was unlikely we carried on working and some good play and pressure on their defence ended with them being forced into a direct backpass giving us a free kick on the edge of their box. Free kicks are usually of little use in this form of the game, however the opposition forgot to do anything about it so ,after a nod to the ref and a quick shrug of the shoulders, Rob simply leathered into the bottom right corner.


The game finished 3 - 1, which was a reasonably fair scoreline, they were more organised and as usual, more fit and it was this that made the difference in the end.


At some stage in the match I chased down a lost cause nearly nicking it off the defender, Nick had a chance on goal and Ben made a good run down the middle, However I can't remember when these things happened. Dave also made a couple of excellent saves, however the exact time that these occured eludes me also.

I woke up this morning with a rather painful ankle, so it would appear that dodgy ankles are contagious, I shall spend the next 3 days in an oxygen tent in an attempt to be ready to play for NVA sunday.


Thankyou to our ringers, without these two we wouldn't have been playing and welcome Burnley Chris to the NVA fold. You've started in probably our hardest match, it's all goals and glory from here. Possibly.


We wear the yellow.

Jay's version of our final game of the season...

Results Wed 10 Nov:

Athletico 0 v 0 Little Scamps; Weighton Sunday 2 v 1 Mauled FC; Angel 1 v 2 Not Very Athletic

Weighton secure title with another brace from Carlin...

Weighton Sunday v Mauled FC

Weighton started off quick with Carling showing off his great touch and turns. It wasn't long til the first goal came as Broomfield played the ball to Carling, who took a 1 time shot on the turn which went into the bottom left corner; great goal! Weighton 1-0. Mauled started to pressure Weighton with a long ball from the goal keeper. Weighton couldnt handle this direct approach and Moore managed to get on the end of one with a great finish! 1-1. Mauled started to slack and showed poor marking in the latter stages. Carling, the main man, was left free and the ball was played through to him, he passed it into the net to make the score 2-1 and seal the title for his team! CONGRATS Weighton Sunday - Report by Jacko

Athletico Pathetico v Little Scamps

Scamps and Onetouch played out a 0 v 0 draw, but the score line only tells half the story. Scamps totally dominated the play with new signing Moses causing all kinds of problems for the OneTouch defence, but not for the first time this season they could not find the back of the net. A combination of good goalkeeping from onetouch man of the match Sanders and poor finishing meant that the frustrated Scamps drew a blank yet again. There were times that Onetouch couldn’t get out of their own half and if Scamps can somehow find their shooting boots next season, they will be a force to be reckoned with in Division One. - Report by Uzzell

NVA v Angel

Angel marched onto the pitch in their striking new kit, finally looking the part after 5 full seasons!!! However the team was somewhat depleated, with top scorer Marcel Velia out with a back injury, and midfield generals Bell and Page unavailable. That meant a rare full appearance for Lee Eastwood up front. NVA, celebrating the birth of Skipper Bill Collins baby daughter (CONGRATULATIONS), who took control from the off. Chris Harley was in impressive form at the back, snuffing out any promising attacks, and Kennington in the middle of the park dictated play going forward. Just on the stroke of half time it was Kennington who controlled a great through ball and tucked the ball home, although the angel keeper did make a great attempt and nearly kept it out. In the second half Angel began to press, and it was Lee 'Hotshot Clint' Eastwood who managed to squeeze the ball under the NVA keeper from a close range to level the score. With time running out, Alan in the NVA goal pumped a long, straight (for the first time that night) ball forward, Kennington plucked the ball out of the sky with a supern first touch, turned and clipped the ball home with 30 secs left to nick the win. - Report by Jay

We got there in the end...

The last game of the season had a very end of season vibe about it not surprisingly...

We were shorn of our leader with Bill off tending to baby Willow (congrats again guys), Japanese George made his second appearance and remains unbeaten in the yellow (not sure many others can claim that!) Angel lined up without three of their normal threats, and it soon became apparent the replacements were not really up to the job, as we knocked it about comfortably for the first five minutes. Midway through the first half the goal our play deserved finally came an inaccurate throw from thier keeper was met by Ben's head. Ben's header found Rob clean through without a defender in sight and he did the rest.

So far so good, then we got complacent...

Bouyed by a couple of decent bursts from the back i decided to take them on pretty much everytime i had the ball, which generally worked OK but did lead to a couple of hairy moments, nothing we couldn't deal with though. Then i tried a new approach of passing their striker the ball directly, he knocked it to his mate and they were level. Oops.

We still had all the ball and were missing countless chances up top aside from a dodgy moment when Al decided to go all 'juggler' on us on his goal line before eventually gathering the ball.

We were pressing hard at this point for a winner with pretty much everyone up front, chances came and went and we were getting desperate.

One moment they had three men advancing on an isolated Al and it looked lik we might throw away all three points, but the big man kept them out before unleasehing one of his famous long balls which Rob took it down nicely before finally knocking in another goal.

Collective sighs of relief and three points in the bag. Unfortunately Black Sox/Untouchables/Athletico Pathetico shorn of their new striker reverted to type and claimed a nil nil with scamps allowing them to finish above us for the first time.

A couple of weeks off then it's cup night again, where we need to prove it was not a fluke.

Results Wed 3 Nov -


Athletico 2 v 1 NVA; Angel 4 v 2 Mauled FC

Athletico finally score the victory over NVA...

Athletico Pathetico v Not Very Athletic
NVA’s good run of results came to a shuddering halt at the hands of a jubilant Onetouchables as they slumped to a 2 v 1 defeat. Onetouch dominated the early play and deservedly strolled into a 2 goal lead after some dodgy defending by NVA as they lost possession in their own half twice. It was Baxter and Gray who hit a goal apiece to send the Medlin brothers wild with delight. It was all looking so comfortable for Onetouch after the break until NVA were awarded a penalty by Ref Uzzell after keeper Sanders was adjudged to have stepped out of the penalty area. Gadie smashed home the penalty, much to Sanders disgust. This gave NVA a boost and although they pushed for an equaliser, the Onetouch back line held firm.

Angel v Mauled FC

In a compelling match it was the determination, pace and finishing of Marcel Velia that made the difference on the night. 6 goals in 24 minutes, with countless other chances made this one of the most open and enjoyable matches in Sixes history. Both sides gave all they had, but Angel proved the stronger, with Bell and Velia working superbly together from midfiled to the front line. The Angel defence also played its part and has been much more consistent this term, with the steady partnership of Johnny and Craig. For Mauled Dave Moore bagged a brace and looked threatening throughout, but it was once again keeper Lee Stephenson who took their MOTM award. He thwarted Bell, Velia and Angel on numerous occasions to keep the score competitive. Mauled were 3-0 down by half time (Velia 2, Bell 1), but pulled back with 2 early second half goals (Moore 2) and looked to be going well. Angel then hit them on a quick break and Velia completed an impressive hat-trick, sealing the win and all 3 points.

People's Champions!

Weighton Utd crowned Back 2 Back Champions!



On a beautiful September night it was Weighton Utd who walked away with the cup to make it back to back wins after a nervy penalty shoot-out against Not Very Athletic.



The group stages saw each team play 3 games, with the top team from each group plus the best second place of the three groups progressing into the knock-outs. (see results below)



The first semi saw NVA v 110 played out a goal less draw and moved into a penalty shootout to decide the winner. 110 took an early advantage after a save by their keeper gave them a 1-0 score after the first round of kicks, however NVA keeper Will 'Cat' Collins made a save from 110's final kick to bring it level. In sudden death it was the composure of NVA which proved vital and saw them into the final - a great achievement for a team which battled to finish anywhere but last in the league for the first three seasons.



The second semi was much of the same, with Weighton Utd v Waterside unable to break the deadlock. Dan Moore (Waterside) and Martin Moss (Weighton) had their usual tough and bruising but fair battle for supremacy, with neither giving an inch. Again penalties proved vital to seperate the teams. Moss stepped up first and put last years final miss well and truly behind him with a smashed shot. Everyone else scored until it was down to Moore. Unfortunatley it was not his night. After missing a kick in the group stages (saved excellently by the Borussia keepers stacked stomach muscles!), redemption wasn't on Dan's side, and his kick was saved again to send Waterside crashing out in their final Soccer Sixes appearance. Before the celebrations, Moss was already on to Moore to try and recruit him to the Weighton side for the coming season!



In an unfamiliar position NVA did not look over come in their most important match to date, and played pretty well throughout the final. However it was a game of defence reather than attack, with Moss(Weighton) and Harley (NVA) looking solid at the back for their respective teams. After an back and forth 10mins, the ref had to call on panalties again to decide this years Champions.

NVA again went behind in the first round, before keeper Collins made an amazing save with his face from a powerblaster of a shot. seeing 7 balls instead of 1, Collins was close to making another save on a couple of ocassions, but the kicks ultimately went through all 6 outfield players and onto the keepers. Weighton's keeper tucked his penalty away before the star seeing collins stepped up. Before the ref had chance to toot his whistle, Will had stroked a beautiful kick into the bottom corner, but the ref had no choice but to insist on a re-take as the whistle to signal the kick had not been blown. Much to the chargrin on the NVA boys, Collins stepped up again but this time his kick was saved and Weighton were Champions!



NVA walked away with a medal round their neck, their heads held high and the accolade of 'Peoples Champions' being chanted from the crowds.

To Be Re-Arranged: Angel v Deportivo

MW Sunday destroyed Champions ellect to really open up the league table. Shwoboating became the order of the day in a great performace from the Weighton boys. Borussia never really got to grips with the game, and suffered their 3rd defeat in a row - prior to last week, Borussia had won 8 and lost only 2 and were semingly cruizing to the title. The result now means that victory for AJ's, over MW Sunday, will drop Borussia into second, with AJ's taking the title and promotion. A win for MW will all but seal a 3rd place finish.

Beverley Knights recorded their first actual victory (not a 5-0 default victory) in the history of the Black Sox / Knights 4 season run. The Black Knights took the lead early on through Caddy who was delighted and celebrated well. Angel didn't seem to get into their stride and never really threatened Sanders in the Knights goal. In the second half Gray went on an amazing run past two players and smashed a shot into the net to seal an historic victory!!! The results also lifts Knights of the bottom of the table, with angel now 2 pts behind, all be it with a game in hand against Deportivo.

AJ's continued their impressive form with a very convincing 4-0 victory over NVA. With a couple of key players out, AJ's had to call on their reserves, with Bointon and Lever stepping in to action. AJ's gave a great team performance and controlled the game throughout. Lever scored 2 goals, with 1 each for Bointon and Blake (not only 4 goals, but three collectors items; Lever and Blake are not what you would describe as prolific strikers!). NVA looked throughly out of sorts. Kennington was way off his normal level (due largely to the fact he had just done 1.5hrs of pre-season training), and top scorer Hebblethwaite also looked out of sorts and frustrated. Lets hope Athletic can finish with a positive result in the final game of the season.

The last match of the night saw a re-arranged fixture between Knights and Borussia Teeth. In what was an enjoyable match to watch / referee, Borussia recorded what could be a league winning victory, although it took SIX balls to finish the job. Crease and Burns were in great form and looked dangerous throughout, but neither could keep the ball lower than the 30ft fence, with 7 shots / deflections flying high and wide. Burns did break the deadlock with a bizare goal after Medlin tried to play a ball out of defence, only to see his pass deflect of burns and into the net, with keeper Sanders stranded. The second half saw Borussia take full control and create several good chance, but it was Sanders who managed to keep the score at 1-0 until late on, when Crease out muscled his marker and ran clear before finishing excellently to seal the victory. Burns nearly scored a 3rd with a technically brilliant overhead kick, which was applauded by both teams, but it was Sanders again who managed to force the save. Borussia must now wait to see what happens in the next round of games, having done all they can this season.

NVA 4 - 0 Angel

A return to form for the mighty NVA last night saw us record our biggest win of the season so far. Shorn of regular keeper Bill, Dave B unexpectedly made his long awaited comeback between the sticks, largely untroubled but for a couple of late saves 'for the cameras' Dave kept a clean sheet, leaving Bill sweating on his place. Another making a comeback/guest appearance was Tom filling in for Dave G and taking his place alongside me in defence. Another change was Pete lining up as centre forward after a useful showing in the warm up in the last couple of weeks.

A low key start saw us keep possession well but left their keeper largely untroubled aside from couple of saves from Ben which kept them in the game until half time. The second half kicked off better, with the Pete experiment deemed a failure he had dropped back into midfield to give Rob a shot up top and we finally started to open them up. Encouraged by keeping us out in the first half Angel started to commit more players forward and we made use of the extra space with Pete regularly robbing them in midfield and feeding the strikers well.

Can't really remember the goals particularly well to be honest, there was a nice through ball from Tom for one, a exquisite ball out of defence up to the strikers by myself for another and a comedy moment when both their midfielders left the ball for each other and Pete robbed the pair of them. By the end everyone was trying their luck with Ben not happy about having to do his bit defensively with all these chances flying about and his top scorer position under threat.

A couple of late chances for them were dealt with by Dave trying his hardest to work off the extra pounds piled on during his extended period of inactivity on the sidelines.

Ultimately a four-nil win, a hattrick for Rob and one for Ben was the least we desrved and we departed happy. Some dreadful snooker followed as did a good showing on the quizzers in both Green D & Cross Keys.

Black Sox next week is as ever a must win, as with the gap above us not showing any sign of decreasing we are sat in the no mans land in the table needing to make our game in hand count. AJs and Deportivo will follow, three wins could see us rise right up to be pushing for second. Roll on next week and with Brinham pledging to see the season out in goal we may once again witness the gaffer's familiar stumbling runs through midfield.

The latest in a long line of ever shortening writeups...

MW Sunday recorded their first win since the reverse fixture of this game back in week 2. Nick Carlingot back in the scoring grove with both goals as MW saw off Angel 2-0. MW now have the chance to put daylight between themselves and next weeks opponents NVA. Angel face second place AJ's, but will need all 3 points to move off the bottom of the table.

AJ's v Depo was a tight affair with some good football at times. The addition of Rob Lever to the Depo defence was a shrewed move, as Rob had a blinding game. Another new addition was to the AJ's line up. He made some great runs and caused problems throughout the game. Ultimately the game was decided by a rush of blood to the head by Depo's stand in keeper, who decided to grab a ball which was running dead and was also outside of his area. Chris Williamson somehow managed to squeeze the resultant spot kick through his legs for the winning goal, which took AJ's above Depo and into second.

Borussia started off well with an early break through Crease to take the lead and to take him clear at the top of the scoring charts. NVA were playing good football but couldn't find a way past the Borussia keeper. Iit took a while after half time for the next goal to come and it was worth waiting for! A brilliant ball was played over the top to Burns who volleyed the ball into the goal. NVA were still playing good passing play and Kennington managed to dribble past the last man and put it in the net, but by this point it was too late to rescue anything from the game.

Review:
Borissa Teeth were up against Black Knights. Borussia took the lead with a good finish from Pat Crease, who took his tally to 4 for the season - his team have only scored 5!. Borussia played some good football and were very direct going for goal. Black knights also created some good chances but the end product was poor. Once again the Black Knights failed to score. Maybe it's time for Sanders to start scouring the free transfers; I hear Joe Cole is available? Borussia top the table at the mid point season break with a game in hand and look strong to go forward and take the Championship.

AJs put in a very assured performance to win against MW Sunday. In a good balanced match, AJs showed the better composure in front of goal to win 2 V 0 thanks to goals from the on fire Gaz Parkinson and Greg Usher. AJ’s look a good team at this level thanks to their recent recruits and can only be helped by the return of Nick Rawnsley from injury. MW Sunday shouldn’t feel down after this defeat though. With better finishing the result could have been a lot different.

The final game saw in two sides in decent form. Deportivo have finally got to grips with short, fast paced passing and look a much better side then last season. NVA have made great strides this season and even topped the league for a couple of weeks. The addition of Ben ' Emile' Hebbelthwaite was a great move by the skipper, and the forward came up with another goal this week. Unfortunately for the Athletic is was merely a consolation as Depo had taken a strong two goal lead through Peach and a cracker from Firth, which almost decapitated the NVA keeper.

Review:
Peach scores a Peach for Angel - unfortunately he plays for Deportivo!!!
NVA signed Pete Watkins at the start of the season from Black knights and he must of been looking forward to this game! NVA took the lead through Hebblethwaite who has now scored 4 this season. Black Knights did not give up though and Taylor did brillantly to take on two players with some great skill before slotting the ball into the net. Black Knights finally ended their goal draught against their old rivals!

Deportivo were back to their old unpredictable ways after four weeks of stability and free flowing football, and by all accounts were well off track in this game. Angel finally managed to get some points on the board after four straight defeats. The boys got back to their regular formula of through balls for Marceli Velia to chase and work with, and it proved telling yet again. A great ball from the back by Dave Buttery was met by Velia who took a good touch before hitting a sweet finish. Angel furthered thier lead after an own goal by last week's hero Harry Peach, who played a comfortable ball back to his keeper, only to see Callum Eade in goal lose his footing and then watch the ball roll into the empty net - stinker!

The final game of the night between AJ's v Borussia Teeth was postponed due to injuries and illness in the AJ's camp and will now be played on Wed 16 June at 7pm.

Harry Peach scores a peach as Deportivo go top...

The game between Deportivo v Borussia Teeth saw what must be the best goal ever scored at Soccer Sixes. Form man Harry Peach put a megs on the first player, skipped the second then smashed an absolute rocket into the top corner from close to the half way line, leaving the borussia keeper rooted like a 200year old redwood. Deportivo continued to dictate play with some great pass and move football (finally!!!) but couldn't add to their single goal. Borussia did create a few chances, but nothing that really bothered keeper Callum Eade. The win takes Depo top of the table and Peach also stays top of the scoring charts - what a finish!

Not Very Athletic’s good form continued as they ran out 2 v 0 winners over a frustrated Angel. As the game kicked off it was all Angel, as they kept possession like Barcelona for over a minute, only for Darren ‘Rage’ Page to fail to convert a glorious opportunity. After that though, Athletic clawed their way back into the game and scored a good goal through Hebblethwaite. Angel continued to knock on the door ("Knock on the door, they hardly made it up the drive" - C Harley) but often lost the ball and NVA played a solid counter attacking game. They confirmed their victory with a late goal from Kennington, taking him joint top in the scoring charts. A good day for all Not Very Athletic fans, although a player I spoke to after the game seemed to be worried that they may gain promotion and get hammered every week in the top division. We will have to see if their good form “wanes” later in the season.

In the final game Beverley Knights miserly defense continued to frustrate the opposition. Led by Captain / Manager Andy ('The Gut' - brother Sanders) Sanders, the Knights have only conceded 2 goals in their last 7 matches - a stat that would have been the other way around last season! It's just a shame they can't find a goalscorer!!! MW Sunday continue to fluctuate. For a new team their form is pretty good and they will be picking up more points once they settle into the league.

Marching on...

Ravaged by injuries after their massive victory last week Notvery Athletic had to play with no subs. Even more unusually the lack of players meant that Dave 'one leg' Brinham was forced to play in a position that was all new to him, defence. Fortunately he was playing alongside Chris' The wall' Harley and Angel, although they played some excellent keep ball straight from the off, were making very little forward progress. When in possession Notvery were looking dangerous going forward but it was a counter attack from Angel that got the first shot on target of the game, blasted in from a tight angle it was clipped onto the bar by Will 'too lazy to play outfield' Collins and away to safety. This proved to be Angel's only shot on target of the match.
Notvery's first goal came shortly afterwards; a well worked move, expertly finished by Ben 'Hebalthwait' Hebblethwaite a real contender against Rob 'it's too cold' Kennington for the NVA top scorer this season. As the game went on some other stuff happened, then the ref blew the whistle for half time and we changed ends. After the restart other things continued to happen, with the tide of the game firmly in NVA's favour and eventually an excellent pass from 'the wall' from within our half of the pitch found Ben 'I don't carry cash' Hebblethwaite who brought it down and crossed for Rob' if I miss someone gets hurt' Kennington on the edge of the box who deftly controlled before burying it in the back of the net.
The good NVA work continued, Al 'trampler' Worthington showed some real determination with an excellently timed lunging tackle, a perfectly legal tackle that the opposition weren't to happy about. Rob 'I need a poo' Kennington had an opportunity to put the game to bed when ending up clean through on the keeper, but had far to much time to think and put it wide.
The rest of the match petered out, punctuated only by Will' wilkinson' COllins slicing a few long balls into touch, basically to get himself noticed so little he had to do in the match.
A further injury to Dave 'took a grenade in Nam' Brinham left him hobbleing around just outside our penalty box for the last few minutes of the game, but Angel were unable to capitalize and the game finished 2 - 0 to the NVA.
So, two victories on the bounce, a clean sheet, 6 goals in two matches and two players joint top on the Golden boot table. Things are looking good for the NVA. We wear the yellow...

Jay's write up of our epic victory. Oh, and some other games.

Not Very Athletic scored a cracking result this week, smashing MW Sunday 4 - 1. not only was this the biggest win of the season so far in either league, it was NVA's biggest victory EVER! Manager Will Collins commented "...and that makes it four, this Not Very Athletic team have shown what they are really made of, routing a side that are contenders for the league! The unprecedentedly large crowd are in heaven! In the end, when all is said and done, today, football is the winner" - never a truer word said.
MW Sunday gaffer Andrew Hodgson was very gracious in defeat as he positively stated "that the best team had won on the night"

AJ's looked in good from against Angel. New signing Greg Usher was impressive throughout, but AJ's didn't have all the play. Marcel Velia and Darren 'Rage' Page played some great stuff for Angel, and were supported well by the whole team in one of the best performances in a long time. They even had the ball in the back of the net after a great piece of build up play, but referee rowley deemed the final shot was taken inside the area and disallowed the goal. If both teams continue in this fashion, they should soon start progressing up the league table.

The final game of the group saw Deporting face the Beverley Knights. Deportivo welcomed back Mike Helyard and Paul Lockwood to the starting line up and the team looked a lot brighter than it has in previous weeks. The Depo boys played some strong football and it was their top scorer Harry Peach who bagged the first to settle the nerves. Knights did have some good passages of play and created half a dozen good chances, but Callum Eade in net was in great form all night. Helyard wrapped up the points for Depo with a great finish, to see the Depo boys progress up the table.

Excellent performance

Possibly Notvery's greatest performance since its creation gave us a 4 - 1 victory, a scoreline that did not flatter us in the slightest. A brace for Ben and Rob aswell as some fantastic defending by Chris H enabled us to ease passed (Past?) the opposition and notch up our first points of the season. Excellent stuff all, next stop Angel. On a different note, I rather like the wonderful attempt at Ben's surname on the top scorers chart.

Borussia continued their improved form by taking their second win on the bounce, and recording more points this season than in the whole of last season! Borussia now have a week off while NVA take on new boys MW Sunday, who are also looking good...

The boys from Weighton's Sunday team recorded their first victory with a comfortable win over Angel. Craig Eastwood, deputising in the angel goal, had his fingers stung a few times and made two or three great saves to keep the score down.

In the final game AJ's and Deportivo played out what was always going to be a draw on paper. Both of these sides are draw specialists and have never been seperated by more than one goal in three season. The returning Lockwood bagged for Depo, while AJ's new boy Usher finished nicely for the green & whites

Premier League:
In a cracking opener to the league, the new boys of DTS Leconfield’s 110 squadron made their debut for the Trogs and ONE10 respectively. In a game that was all about bragging points back on camp, the intensity was red hot straight off and didn't miss a beat for the next 24 minutes. Tackles were big, shots were fierce and chances were limited.

Kev Bluff, making his final appearance in goal for ONE10 before passing the gloves on to one of the new boys made a couple of inspirational saves to keep the Trogs out, whilst up at the other end it was referee Uzzell who was keeping goals out; disallowing a goal which (according to the ONE10 boys) had bounced back of the inner stantion. Mr Uzzell believed it had struck the post and waved play on, but in the end it mattered little, as ONE10 marched away winners, 2 v 1.

Returning former Champions Shanghi made hard work of the first match back. The boys from SSR played some great stuff early on, but missed a hat full of chances and went in at half time only 1 v 0 up. BarceHullona pulled themselves together and got back to the basics which saw them finish last season on a 14 game unbeaten streak. Chris Newsam pulled the scores level midway through the second half, and while Shanghi wasted yet more chances and started to press and commit men forward in search of a winner, the boys from Bacre held their nerve, and Andy Martin converted the winner with a cheeky finish at the near post past the stranded Danny Ako with only 30 seconds left on the clock.

Last year’s runners up, Weighton Utd faced new boys PSV Hangover, lead by former M-Weasy wide boy Ben ‘Franko’ Franklin. The game turned out to be an early contender for match of the season, with 5 goals, great finishing and a controversial penalty decision. The game ebbed back and forth until PSV took control with a fine finish for the first goal.

Referee Uzzell then awarded a penalty to Weighton after the PSV keeper played the ball outside of his area. The ref was unaware that the keeper was only outside his box to return a ball to the neighbouring pitch, and had to awarded the penalty kick once the keeper played the ball. Martin Moss swept the ball home put Weighton back in the contest. In the end it was the new boys from PSV who took the spoils, winning a fine game 3 v 2, with Ed ‘Franz Gruddock Baresi’ Grady was in imperious form throughout!!! £5 please Ed.

Division 1:
The first match of the evening saw new boys MW Sunday face last year's most inconsistent team, Deportivo Lacatalent. MW were keen to mark a strong start to the season and showed signs of some good play. Deportivo continued in the form of last season, playing some fine stuff at times whilst smashing balls to the front man and gaining nothing at others.

The boys need to learn that they can all play pretty well and have the ability to play pass and move football, and not resort to big hoofs forward, particularly when 'strong man’ Mike Helyard isn’t playing. The final score was a fair 1 v 1 and both teams must be hoping to pick up more points next week.

Beverley Knights welcomed a stand in keeper in the form of Steve Snell, with regular keeper and captain Andy Sanders sidelined. Unfortunately for Steve, the long drive back over the bridge was not worth the 24 looooooooooooooooooooong minutes he had to endure during this game. There is not a whole bunch more I can say, except (as you’ve probably guessed), it finished 0v0!

The final game saw Borussia Teeth almost match last years points tally in a single game! The Teeth played some really good stuff going forward, and were combative and disciplined at the back. But for 3 really good saves from the Angel keeper, this could have been a drubbing. What didn’t help Angel’s cause was a lack of team play.

Movement was non-existent, no one seemed to want to pass and when they did get into the final third the finishing was not to their usual standard. Rich Bell of the Angel even substituted himself at one point, as frustration was starting to get the better of him. Maybe a team bonding session around Dave’s front bar is in order!

New season, new league

Now then, I have received the fixtures for the first game of the season, and therefore know the teams which our in our league. All looks much nicer for us, can't see us losing to any of this lot. I might even put a fiver on Dave to get a goal this season. I think our priority is to make sure the champion is ABD - Anyone But Deportivo.
