Awaiting fixture details

Corner Pin Over 30's Vs Under 30's

THIS IS IT... THE BIG ONE.

The innaugural Corner Pin Over 30's Vs Under 30's has been set and will KO at 10.00am on Sat 20th December.

The intention is to have this game either annually or bi annually (xmas and end of season) with a trophy to be passed to the winners of each game with recognition for each win.

The trophy will have pride of place in the pub so that the losers will have to continuosly look at it with respect!

We are proposing £5 per man to play, this covers the cost of the pitch, the trophy and also beers for the winning side! (a little incentive not to lose), in later games the cost wont be so high as we wont have a trophy to pay for.

The provisional teams i have are as follows, these are by no means set in stone and i have not got confirmation from anyone as yet (except myself).

Spot the obviuos ommission!!! Steven Easton for the under 30's (thought we could slide him into the overs seen as hes a dad n all!!!)

If you can think of anyone else ive missed let me know!

Corner Pin FC 1 v 2 Railway FC (Tut n Shive)

With the Corner Pins unbeaten form, and a previous 10 - 1 win over the Railway, we were confident but not overly so going in to the game.

We were aware that they had made some significant changes to their team since the win and had lost only one game, so our heads were on it.

The pitch however was to become a true 12th man in this game, as it could only be described as atrocious!!

The game began well enough, the Pin perhaps not putting themselves about the game as well as we could have done, with the exception of  Dave Szlamp who gave a stirring performance in midfiled and went into everything as if his life depended on it.

The Pin were under the cosh for most of the half, but had their own chances as well, the most notable being a good link up between G and Jermaine only for him to swing a great cross across goal for Steve E to volley narrowly wide, excellent effort and deserved a goal.

The half ended and we knew we were in for a tough game, the pitch even boggier than before had cut up and with the ball sticking in places as well as the wind swirling around the game was bound to become more difficult as it wore on.

75 mins in and the game took a dramatic turn, with the ball out of play (boats you knew it was there ball!!) the opposition quickly took a throw in with our men out of position, one on one and not technically last man, Clynt was rounded and unfortunately got more of the man than the ball, (although i still felt it was 50/50 from where i was)

Kirby our hero as ref fro the day, had only one option but to give a penalty, and the Railways striker stepped up to take the shot....

Rich who so far i havent seen not save a penalty came up with the goods again, and teh Pin were let off... for a few brief minutes.

The Railway pressed forward and a wild shot was struck which bobbled along teh ground - a routine save for Rich normally, however the '12th man' reared its ugly head and a bobble took the ball up Richards arm and into the back of the net, with nothing he could do.

The Pin pressed and their efforts were rewarded with Colin who had a fairly quiet game up until this point driving a placed shot passed the keeper.

A draw wold have been fair, however the Railway sneaked the ball through on the break and to be fair to their striker he took the ball well, placing the ball beyond the reach of Rich 2 - 1.

First defeat of the season and it was a bitter pill to swallow. We know how this feels now and i dont want to feel like it again!!

Corner Pin FC 4 v 3 Relax Finance

The Pin were looking to extend their previous record of 6 wins unbeaten in the league from many years ago, and the game started brightly with a lot of good effort in the midfield.

After a stirring team talk from Lee, the boys were certainly up for it, and this showed with the level of commitment from the majority of the team in the first 10 mins.

After the pressure we had applied, Relax had an inviting chance that just went wide of Richs post, and the Pin responded, with Steve E, collecting the ball down the right and firing home a lovely shot past the helpless keeper.

At this point it looked like Relax were a bit shell shocked and their defence really didnt look like they were up for a fight, Steve E, again harried the opposition and as the defender received the ball from his keeper, Steve nicked it from him and was through on goal!! a brilliant solo effort and well deserved goal, that typified his performance yesterday.

The half was well contained and The Pin exerted their authority further with a lovely ball from G across the pitch to be picked up by Shaft, who rounded the keeper and placed the ball into the back of the net 3 - 0 to the Pin and we were cruising!.

The intention was to continue the second half as we had finished the first but two important decisions were made that ended up being the deciding factors for the half.

An early penalty was awarded to the Pin, and from the sidelines we were all calling for Steve E's hatrick, Captain Kirby, capitulated under the pressure from Dan and conceded to him to take the spot kick. A miss gave the away team some hope, but was quickly dashed by Lukes timley goal from a take down from Jermaine, who I personally believe had his best game of his season so far.

4 - 0 and the game looked dead, however 2 quick goals, from Relax, (the second an absolute screamer!!!!) brought the visitors within a realistic distance of having a chance of gaining something from this game. 

The second of the key moments then occured as Shaft, who felt he had been pushed in the area one to many times had a rant at the ref, covered with expletives, there was only one way this was going to go and he saw red!!

Down to 10 men and with 10 mins to go we conceeded a third goal to make the game very tasty in the last 10 mins. Thankfully the defence held firm, in difficult circumstances and the game ended 4 - 3 and our unbeaten streak continues.

This game should be considered a wake up call in that if we take our foot off the gas in a game and give teams chances they can get back at us, we need to make sure that we put games to bed!!

Horse and Groom away next week.

Lets have a good one!!!
