Saturday 12 October - Casuals 10 (ten) - 0
Saturday saw the Casuals face the familiar opposition of Walcountians, who we beat 6-0 on the opening day. We knew a victory and favorable results elsewhere could leave us topping the Surrey South East Combination Junior Division 2 table by the time the Guinnesses had settled.
The Casuals had a strong side: an unchanged midfield of Ghost , Billy Wingrove , and Longstaff .barnes16 ; the Sloth x anti-sloth ( x )combo up front; and Copari between the sticks looking to match 2023/24 clean sheet tally.
We scored so many goals I’ll have to be brief (apologies, assisters).
(Ghoul) opened the scoring, smashing one into the middle bins, which the keeper tipped into the actual bin before anti-sloth broke through to make it 2-0.
Their keeper leaked a .barnes16 free-kick onto t-shirt to make it 3 (if you know, you know). (Spectre) and Cu****in both netted again before halftime, setting up a second-half hat-trick competition. DoTD was sealed at halftime as (Phantom) refused to be subbed, claiming his legs would seize up.
Unfortunately, (Apparition) was the first to reach the hat-trick, as his cross-cum-shot (easy, ) found the net early in the second half.
Sloth came second in the hat-trick race, with three rapid-fire tap-ins late on. blasted home the 10th goal, celebrating with what can only be described as ‘explosive.’
Fair play to Walcountians, who never gave up despite being a young side finding their feet in men’s football.
With favorable results, we went joint-top of the table (as did on the clean sheets table).
MoTM and DoTD go to the hat-trick hitters. Kepa gets DoTD for his mutiny, and Sloth gets MoTM for the only legitimate hat-trick.
Next up: back-to-back games against Worcester Park Reserves.
Nandos on Dutch.
