The Champions Cup remains in DN12 for another year 🏆
As we stood on the terrace, Stella cracked - Our Charlie goes “smell goals today me”. I’d ask him to put the lotto on cos he was on the money today. Though not officially confirmed yet, murmurs are that Boults’ 15 second opener is the fastest goal in Donny Cup Final history. Show me quicker and I’ll show you a fibber.
We lead early, then before nowt it’s 2 as Shay takes an absolute belt that pays off. Some can call it laziness, some can call it complacency but moments of madness lead to 2-2. The next 10 are a bit of a daze as we try to make sense of what’s happened.
As a neutral, it’s a cracking start to a cup final. But we are not neutrals, we are the furthest thing from neutral and your arse starts to twitch a bit. But you take a breath, look around, realise we’re at Harworth and relish the opportunity at another moment in Blue and Black history.
3-2, back at the races. It’s not the 2 goal buffer we had, but it’s better than level. It’s kicks in though, feet are found and it’s 4-2 and then 5. A bit like Gerrard in 06’, it’s the Harley final this - he’s been absolutely mustard and we’re gagging for the hat trick. The score line should be 7-1 given they were offside for the second and we had a goal line clearance that Skelton can verify was defo over the line when the video is out. Not to worry… we’ve scored a 6th, El Capitan kissing the camera and putting the nail in the coffin.
Full time. The Champions Cup remains with the champions. But just like the first half, complacency can come a cropper. Half of the job done and the lion share to do next week for the double. Drink it in today and back on smoke Monday. E D L O 💙🖤
We’re the type of side that likes to win a cup,
Smithy can pup em and we can sup,
Cos we’re the Tumbler,
The Edlo Tumbler… 🏆
