After 5 ½ years in Noo Yawk the crowds were expected to be a whoopin’ & hollerin’ along the streets of Battersea for Intertoto’s return for the Thursday night Soccerball game. However, nobody told the locals and even 10 man BoC bolstered by 4 ringers failed to show up in force. 3-1 against a strong Reay’s team was a great result & everyone stuck to their positions in a disciplined performance, special mention to Charlie & Andy in the defence & the great first touch of Hanning on the wing.
Sporadic attempts by us & a few good saves by Jack in goal kept it scoreless for a while before 3 goals in about 5 minutes hammered us – the third of which was an absolute beauty mind. Thereafter the longest ever run up to a corner (behind the fence to retrieve the ball & then across the 2 pitches) saw Intertoto swing over a cross for Zamora to nod in at the back stick for a consolation.

Well I tried to tell you so (yes I did),
But I guess you didn't know,
As the saddest story goes,
Baby, now I got the flow,
'Cause I know it from the start,
Baby, when you broke my heart,
That I had to come again,
And show you that I'm with.
You lied to me,
All those times I said that I loved you,
You lied to me,
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried,
You lied to me,
Even though you know I'd die for you,
You lied to me,
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried.
Return of the mack,
It is,
Return of the mack,
Come on,
Return of the mack,
Oh, my god,
You know that I'll be back,
Here I am.
