🐶 BARKING DOG GAME: COMPLETED ✅
Another Sunday, another three points... and another reminder that getting 11 lads to kick-off on time is harder than winning the league. 🤦♂️
We started the game with 10 men, because apparently kick-off times are optional in Sunday League. Thankfully, two of the missing lads eventually remembered they had a football match and wandered over.
It was also great to see a few returning faces back in a Walkergate shirt... and a few new faces too. Shame some of the "new signings" clearly thought it was a trial for the disappearing act and never actually turned up. 😂
⚽ 1-0 – Harvey Serginson curled in a lovely free-kick. Not bad for the club's resident plastic gangster.
Barking Dog pulled one back before half-time and it was game on.
Then, just when everyone was mentally heading to the pub...
🚀 Liam Warren unleashed an absolute rocket in the dying minutes to nick all three points. Standard stuff from the big man. Man of the Match, proving that going from "really fat" to "well... okay" has only improved his finishing.
👏 Special mention to Dylan Redhead , who marshalled the back line all game. Calm, composed and made sure we came away with three points instead of excuses.
Another Sunday ticked off... ✔️ Dirty tackles
✔️ Questionable refereeing
✔️ Late arrivals
✔️ One or two no-shows
✔️ Cold pints waiting after the final whistle 🍻
FULL TIME
🟡⚫ Walkergate FC 2️⃣-1️⃣ Barking Dog FC
Next up: Blakelaw FC... 👀
Now that should be a proper Sunday League fixture.
Expect flying tackles, handbags after every foul, someone claiming they "could've played for Newcastle", the ref losing control after 15 minutes, and at least one bloke asking if anyone's brought the match balls.
🔮 Sunday League Predictions
🚀 Liam Warren screamer.
🎯 Harvey Serginson spends longer sorting his trim than warming up.
🧱 Dylan Redhead pockets another striker.
🟥 Connor Rainey to collect his customary red card. 😂
🍺 Win, lose or draw... everyone's in the pub by 3pm.
