BoC F.C. 5 vs 4 Harretons

Bit of a ding-donger against old adversaries Harretons, with some excellent football from both sides.

Ben rang onto a pass from Paul, a lot of work still to do, but belted it over the keeper for 1-0. Misplaced clearance and we were punished for it, 1-1. Paul with a couple of goals, can't remember the first, but the second was a sharp finish at the near post. I was seeing stars from a Tyson ball smashed into my face, but no harm done! Tom launched a clearance into the kids play area and Alex spent a good 5 minutes in the bushes looking for the ball. 3-1 at the break, I think, approximately, although given Harretons aversion to half-time we played straight through, as usual. The oppo scored a nice finish from distance to get back in it, 3-2. Paul with a penalty after their huge defender just shoved him over in the box. "Agricultural but not a penalty" said the oppo striker, but not sure what that meant and it felt like a clear penalty to me. 4-2. Oppo scored with a little flick at the near post for 4-3, before Alex scored a goal from inside the box which the oppo claimed as offside but we got our way on that and it was 5-3. Ben kicked someone in the box with a strikers challenge and we had conceded a penalty, Tyson beaten by the older but very useful striker for 5-4. We hung on for the win. Paul - with a hat-trick and a fine all round display - was MotM.
