By Christ the Duke is boring sometimes. A scattering of older men whose passports are getting confiscated by the police in a weeks time and middle aged women who probably wish they were somewhere else. Myself, Tony and Dunc stuck it out for a couple before heading to the infinitely more lively Latchmere. We weren't alone is switching. Some couple near us in the Duke also appeared in the Latch and greeted us like the survivors of the harrowing and traumatic experience we all were. (Luckily they didn't hear Duncan's story of his father's massive abscess where the sun don't shine, which did appear to put Tony slightly off his fish finger sandwich). They were apparently having a quick drink while they waited for a kebab. Good work.
The game:
We had a couple of ringers: Sam (I think one of Conrad's buddies) was Ringer A and Pete (mate of John) was Ringer D.
Oppo were new. Kew PR - I got that after far too long haha. Nice bunch - Stu W's vets team. They said they were a bit understrength. Hopefully we can play them again.
Goals - Ilyas - nice finish bottom corner, Alex inside the 6 yard box after an assist from Tony and Tony pouncing on a poor kick by the oppo goalie.
Charlie George/Neil/Hoofer/Alex - all 1/4 in goal.
Comedy moment #647: I rushed out of goal to catch a through ball and completely ran past it. Thanks again John for sparing my blushes.
All in all an unlikely clean sheet. Stu W really shouldn't have blazed an open goal from a rebound over the bar.
Motm - Alex, filling in nicely at right midfield for that other chap who sometimes plays there. I forget his name.
