Awaiting fixture details

Something very strange happened in Chiswick today. The fact that 17 were available at midnight on Saturday were the early signs that things weren't right. Then when 13 (ok so one person no-showed...) took to the field and actually had time to run half-hearted 'drills' before the opposition were ready in glorious sunshine - things definitely felt a bit odd. Then, we scored in the first minute to take the lead against the title-chasers who'd battered us 9-3 the previous week. You'd have never have believed it.
After Shane had neatly lobbed in following a run from Adil that had caused mayhem in the Rangers defence - the next 89 mins saw a superb defence of Steve-o, Ad, Digger and Pete/Rob Waldram show a level of resolve previously non-existent this season. Colesy and Dave battled brilliantly in midfield, while Phil and then Ollie in nets (who actually managed to save some shots for once in goal) earned a fantastic clean-sheet and an unbelievable but deserved 3 points. Surely The Ship can't repeat this minor set of miracles next week..?

Despite two more drunken drop-outs, a decent Ship 11 took to a decent pitch on a beautiful sunny day. Unfortunately, Ollie Hurrey was playing the first half in goal and put in one of the worst goalkeeping performances seen in recent memory. After he gifted the opposition a couple of cheap goals and with Ship heads rapidly dropping, the favourites for the league title quickly capitalised and swept into a ridiculous six-goal lead at half-time with the only bright point being a Adil M'Rabet consolation strike and a decent debut from new-boy Rob Waldram at left-back. At half-time, everyone was relieved to see Ollie hand over the gloves to an understandably reluctant Phil Lee and The Ship set out to 'win the second-half'. A absolutely superb performance in stark contrast to the first 45 saw The Ship take a 2-0 lead thanks to a solo wonder-goal from Ollie, who then tapped in after the keeper fumbled a Kwaku strike. Battersea snatched a late 2 goals but The Ship were arguably the better side in the second half and it was clear that confidence was key and Ollie should stay upfront in future matches... The Ship face the same opposition next week and it is hoped they can show the same effort and quality they displayed in the second 45 and help their fight against relegation.

What was a squad of 13 on Tuesday, rapidly and almost predictably became 9 come kick-off on Sunday morning as illness, injury and a pathetic excuse of drinking too much saw the squad drop like flies.
The brave 9 toiled on a quagmire of a pitch against the odds against a team they would have battered with 11. Pluses included the strong debut of Shane on the right and the effort and commitment shown by a newly emerging core of players. Hopefully the raft of new additions to the squad will enable The Ship to avoid relegation as they replace the increasingly apathetic old squad-members.
