After receiving the all clear from the legal team we are able to get on with the report from a record breaking victory for the Allsorts.
Going into the second leg with 2-1 lead it, the Allsorts know they were required to be more ruthless in front of goal. The Allsorts had to cope with the news that Assistant Manager Dom Jarrett would miss the game with a case of “being on holiday and leaving the team in the lurch”..itis (hoping to be fully fit for next week having recovered from sunburn). Up stepped new signing Andy L’Strange for a memorable debut.
After another rousing team talk the Allsorts took to the pitch to prove to Pete that we could beat this team by more than one goal. The allsorts and Good’s came onto the pitch with a rapturous applause from the solitary fan.
It was a cagey opening 2 minutes when a cross from Sam was cleared by a TGTBT defender in the box and referee awarded a penalty. After a small discussion between James and Sam (James not fancying it), Sam stepped up and with ice cool composure sent the keeper the wrong way. This was greeted with silence as the fan had gone for a drink and missed the goal.
1-0 Allsorts
The second goal for the Allsorts didn’t take long to come with a nice team move being finished by James ‘Clinical’ Mitchell.
2-0 Allsorts
Just when the Allsorts thought they were on for a very comfy day and a cleansheet, a spanner in the works. A long ball (story of TGTBT’s play) found the captain who turned Chris like a kipper, and ran clean through to get them back into it. It must be added that once again Chris had not purchased correct footwear dispite repeated calls from the manager, lets hope this isn’t a problem next week.
2-1 Allsorts
However as TGTBT got a foothold in the game Simon having to make a good save from another turn by the captain, new signing from the Bassett “Tonka” Academy provided a moment of magic with an incredible solo goal which Tonka himself would have been proud of. Thankfully he did not take his pants off to celebrate. Could have got awkward.
3-1 Allsorts
Andy then before half time almost certainly killed the game off by firing in a powerful shot through the invisible 3rd choice keeper.
4-1 Allsorts
The half-time brought to an end a pretty comfortable half for the Allsorts.
The team talk was for more of the same until the thoughts of Dom haunted the manager: “Everyone is walking round saying Mayes is a ..., Mayes is a ….!! They should be talking about you! Why? Because you conceded again to the bloody Too good to be true”.
This fired the team up and James didn’t take long to find the net again with a good finish into the bottom left corner, you could feel the wheels completely come off the TGTBT.
5-1 Allsorts
Then a landmark goal for Adam, who got his first goal for the Allsorts with a well taken open goal. Everyone was delighted for the lad and should give him real confidence going into playing the real football teams.
6-1 Allsorts
The Allsorts really were rampant and didn’t let the Goods get into the game at all, Sam and Andy (hat-trick) getting goals one after each other to really start to exert the superiority of the Allsorts over the Goods.
7-1 Allsorts
8-1 Allsorts.
Then probably the most satisfying moment of the match, with the Goods captain running through, Andy was able to hold him up and take him towards the corner, Sam and Chris sprinted back to pick his pocket then pass in a triangle around him to break into attack. As the allsorts broke the captain sulked off the pitch to the disgust of the fan. Then as the captain sulked the Allsorts delivered another master class in countering by James finishing a silky move.
9-1 Allsorts
Andy then rubbed salt into the already large wound of the Goods by striking in goals number 4 and 5 for him to compound a sackable day at the office for the Goods.
10-1 Allsorts
11-1 Allsorts
FT 11-1 Allsorts
After a comprehensive victory for the Allsorts a dramatic turn of events as a tape was leaked from the captain of the Goods to Pete. He said:
“We were … rubbish, the referee had an absolute shocking game giving them all the decisions. We want a rematch”!
The captain of the Good’s has not commented on these remarks, but in a statement from Pete said they will not get their rematch with the Allsorts.
Bring on next week!
