Ref/goal keeper/team selector/match reporter Dave 🦊 brings us match 1.....

Lets just write the things I can remember.

Picking the teams , I made a mistake of getting the 2 Martin/Martyn mixed up. So up stepped the Fox to play in goal for the Black side keeping it a 5 aside game whilst Martin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 played in Game 2.

Dasher 💿 made his debut for the Reds. An 80 year old record producer, so Steve 📢 told me, showed some nice touches and neat turns. Possibly a little to much running but I guess that's why he's named Dasher 🤷🏼‍♂️

So what do I remember about the game....!

Graham 🍽 missed how many goals....?
At least 6 im sure... in fact he ran into the goal on one occasion.

Steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 looked panicked at what was about to hit him, when Graham put the ball wide. I say wide, did it go out for a throw in? He fell to the floor exasperated. That in it self measured 4.6 on the richter scale!

Fox made a few good saves early on for the Blacks and as did H 👮‍♂️who replaced him.

Ton 👨🏻‍🍳 hit a shot at goal only for H to punch it away. NASA called to say it was just passing over Australia.

Terry 🦹🏼‍♂️ and Ian 🔬linked up well going forward for the Blacks.

Steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 in goal for the Reds made good saves, especially the pile driver from Graham, leaving him gasping for air.

Fish played well with the space he was given as did Bambi.

Goal of the game came from Ton. He picked ball up on the right, took two steps and blasted the ball across the face of goal, into the top left corner. H 👮‍♂️ simply asked his team mates. "Were did that go?".

The game ended with the Blacks worthy winners by 10 goals to 6.

I honestly can't remember who scored the goals. I think everyone did except Steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and the Fox.

A fun game played it great spirit.

Just a note worth making. Bambi plays a much better game when he's not shouting at players.
Keep it up Bambi....

The temperatures raising and the numbers gradually falling as we enter the last few games.

Sean was moved to the fast game so it was a balanced 6v6 and once everyone was wearing the correct shirt colour we kicked off with reds playing some controlled keep ball.

Reds lined up with Daves 🚖 and 🐝, Alvin, Alan Tommy and Steve

Blacks lined up with Sean, Keith, Prak, Martin, Colin and Kev

With the heat and multiple water breaks the early exchanges were a good advert for the game without too much running.

The scoring was eventually opened when Keith scored. 1-0 Blacks

The second goal was simple if not by an unexpected source.

Colin having found himself up front and missing hadn't returned to his usual defensive position when the ball suddenly was at Keiths feet who passed back up field to him in an unmarked position with only Steve to beat, which he did on his second attempt 2-0 blacks

Its fair to say that for all the blocks Colin makes when it comes to football skills he still lacks many.

Reds were back in the game when a pass out from Sean to Colin in the middle, who waited for the ball to arrive, invited Alvin to nip around the static defender and drill the ball into the net 2-1

Sean had come out of blacks goal, but the man whose kit looked like it was assembled from lost property topped off with his knee protection held together with electricians tape returned there due to knee twinges.

Reds were passing with confidence but shots on goal were either off target, blocked or saved by the outstretched legs and arms of Inspector Gadget Sean.

Keith was having a game to remember having scored one and assisted one, he eventually secured the match ball with a further two, sandwiching a goal by Kev.

He even had time to be bundled to the ground by Tommy who was binned for 2 minutes.

Alvin in reds goal had a moment of panick, he saved, but that momentum keepers seem to find, brought him out of the goal with the ball somehow avoiding his arms and managed to scramble himself and the ball back into safety.

It ended 5-1 blacks

Brian our website wizard took to the pitch yesterday and here's his report

With 4 games to go to the last game of the season on 29th June, you would think that this game would have an end of season feel to it.

Far from it. 2 five a side teams battling for the ball and sometimes controlling it within the 3 touches, an exciting 15 goal thriller was played out at the estadio del polideportivo in Benalmadena in near 30-degree heat.

You would think that, with 15 goals scored in an hour, the ball boys will have spent the time topping up their tans. Far from it, we had water breaks every 5 minutes so they could have a break…and Daz wasn’t even playing.

Blacks quickly rushed into the lead, courtesy of Martin, who was the most surprised person on the pitch when the ball rifled in the back of the net at several miles per hour.

Fez quickly equalised but Martin was on song and scored to make the score 2-1 at the first water break.

Your reporter then took over as the reds shot stopper, a task he failed to do spectacularly, Gary with 2 and Pete scored with replies from Bambi and Ton, made the score 5-3 at the second break.

Fez scored a quick hat trick at the start of the 3rd period to put the reds in front for the first time and Bambi with his second doubled the lead.

As the game was grinding to a close and with 10 players, 2 ball boys and the referee blowing through their collective backsides, Gary scored a quick couple of goals to take his tally for the game to 4, thus equalling Fez.

There was just time for the goal of the game and a goal worthy of winning any game when Ton, the Dutch master, struck a shot from fully 20 yards into the top left-hand corner to make the final score Reds 8, Blacks 7.

Both teams, the Ref and the ‘spherical collection officers’ retired to the bar for copious amounts of Beer and Oxygen and to mull over a game played in the spirit of walking football and well reffed by Dave the fox.

Thursday saw an 8 aside game 2 and Dave 🦊 should be congratulated for picking 2 well matched teams.

Its really difficult to wax lyrical about a game that was won 2-0 by Blacks with both goals coming from Mark, the first on the half hour mark.

Eddie in goal for blacks had the complete opposite experience from his last outing where he got back ache picking the ball out of the net, this time he was practically a spectator such was the good job by Mark G, Colin, 🚖 and Prak in front of him.

Dave 👑 was the busier keeper, keeping reds in the game, but unable to prevent Marks brace.

Ref John had little to do, though it was only when Mark G was signalled to come back on that any of his teammates realised he had been off for 2 minutes, not even sure what for???

It was another warm one, the pitch was well marked out, Paul mad dog was kept busy as YTS ballboy and we go again on Monday

Last game of the season is Monday 29th when we'll discover who we've all got in the World Cup sweepstake by which time 13 of us will already be eliminated

Rick scores but was it over head height? Ref Terry generously allows it

Great team goal scored by Sean

Seans scribblings for Game 1

Another hot sunny morning on the Costa Del Ventosa. 12 likely lads risked life and limb in a galant effort to get to Polideportivo Benalmadena to display their footballing talents.

Blacks started the better, lead by Sonic’s blistering lack of speed up front, confusing the Reds defence.

The Non Flying Dutchman, Ton started between the sticks with special magic gloves his wife bought him at the Fuengirola market on Saturday morning from a Romani gypsy Shuvani woman, but later took up his usual, not useless, I didn’t say that, position on the wing.

Hooverboard Kevo and The Commissioner started in defense. Terry the Brummie restaurateur extraordinaire marshalled midfield and yours truely wandered about aimlessly.

Reds had South Dublin’s finest toe poker of the ball, starting between the sticks. Steve aka Rick, just back from Status Quo tribute tour of fine drinking establishments somewhere or other on bass with Pete the Fish in defense blocking everything that moved.

Ian legs eleven, streaking down the right side, there was the killer Nev laying waste to all around him and last but least in many way, the ever vocal Bamster up front working his magic, keeping ballboys busy.

Blacks started the better with Terry bagging an early goal. 1-0 Blacks.

Reds found their way in the 2nd period and Bambster scored the equalizer after a few attempts.

Then Black, with Ton having taken off the magic goalie gloves, hit a 2nd for Blacks 2-1 Blacks.

Legs eleven Ian having perfected the toe poke, borrowed from the toe poke king Daz blasted one past H in the Blacks goal. 2-2.

In the 3rd period a nice passing move involving Sonic, Kevo and a precision through ball from Terry found yours truly alone in front of goal and I simple helped the round object into the right hand corner passed Daz in goal.

So here’s where things got a bit out of hand from a goal scoring perspective. I have never boasted about my ability to remember events. Too many blows to the head in Gaelic football matches and bar fights have left me lacking in that department. But in my defense, there were 15 goals scored in this match and I lost track of who did what by this point.

I do remember, thanks to the help of Franks vídeo, Steve aka Ricky , scored with a lob which arched over H into the top corner.

Daz with his walk/run short legged movements, blasted several shots into the stratosphere. But on two occasions managed to get two goals for Reds.

Proceedings began to get out of hand on the score board as Reds jumped out to a 7-3 lead.

Blacks looking exhausted and dead on their feet but somehow managed to score a brace of breakaway goals in the 5th quarter, Irish maths!

Ton doing his best Johann Cruyff on the wing laid on some precise crosses to Sean for two or 3 goals.

With the score 8-6 in the final period and 3 mins remaining Red’s own Ricky the status quo legend drove forward to end any chance of a Blacks miracle comeback.

It ended 9-6 Blacks. To the relief of all exhausted walking dead involved. We all lived to play another morning.

Simple goal, scored by Simon

If game 2 was an episode of Friends it would have been titled " The one where the non existent rule wasn’t applied"

A 7 v 6 game saw reds packed with heavyweight footballing skills to compensate for blacks having a player advantage

With no referee the whistle was shared with Cornwalls Darren taking charge of the first half and Maj the second.

Looking back this game should make us appreciate John more, but rule 14 applies whoever has the whistle, their decision should be respected.

Reds were feeling confident and Colins choices were being questioned before the game.

Another shout out, this time to Dave 🦊 who has the tricky job of deciding teams, never easy when there are late additions and drop outs. I for one am glad to see him back 😆

With 🚖 in goal for reds to start with this left Darren, with whistle, to command the middle, receiving the ball and bringing Mark, Keith and Alvin into attack with Tommy marshaling the back line.

Meanwhile Steve in Blacks goal endlessly shouting at his teammates who were doing their best to ignore him had Simon, Colin and Alan across the back with Maj trying to control his teams midfield with 🐝 and Mercedes either side of him.

The game unfolded as expected Mark, too strong muscled past the blacks defence, got a shot on target which Steve decided to throw over his shoulder into the net 1-0 reds

The second reds goal was full of calamity

Colin got in the way, the ball stuck between his feet, a soft backpass that Steve couldn't come out for due to the numerical advantage and from nowhere Keith appears to intercept and score. Running ref, surely? No apparently not 2-0 reds.

The team selections were seriously being questioned by blacks!!

After some soul searching and Colin happy that his knackers were where they should be having blocked a thunderbolt from Alvin, blacks started to gain confidence and Maj reduced the deficit.

At the halfway mark Maj took control the whistle and soon after awarded a free kick to blacks, he rolled the ball left into space and Simon, playing his last game of the season hit a sweet shot and the scores were level.

All of a sudden the team selections appeared about right, but reds were still the stronger team and with their ability to use a rush keeper their 6v6 on the pitch was too much footballing skill against the black talents of Maj, Mercedes and Alan along with best efforts skills of Colin, Simon and 🐝.

Hang on is that a wayward pass by reds, into the path of Maj who simply has to pass the ball into the net, yes. 3-2 Blacks. Inspired team selections!

Reds pushed hard, blacks defended harder especially Steve who was saving everything ...... "The one where the non-existent rule wasn’t applied" ...... reds were attacking, Steve saved, but his "momentum" took him out of his area. Penalty ref???????? No says Maj, unintentional.

No goal, 2 minutes later Mark ends up in the Blacks area, impeding Steve and the tap in is ruled out.

Time keeper Colin allows play beyond the hour to see if reds can gain a sporting draw, but blacks defence stands up to the test and the game ends 3-2

Thanks to Mick who ends his stint as ballboy this season having retrieved some 50+ balls on the day.

The ballboys, pitch markers, photographer and referees do what they do to ensure the rest of us can huff and puff for an hour and moan about this or that and we thank them for their involvement, we certainly notice when they're not available
