MEFF #18 –2 GIRLS 1 CUP FC 7 – 2 CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CAN’T LOSE FC:
Spence’sClear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose FC did lose as SuBo’s 2 Girls 1 Cup FC annihilated the tired and quiet opposition, taking a 5-0 lead at half time with some simple football that resulted in a number of counter-attacks and easy finishes beyond the helpless Rowan. To their credit, Can’t Lose FC battled harder in the second half producing a much more even affair (2-2), but the damage was already done thanks to a hustling solo performance up front from Pete and some quick support from SuBo, Fletch and (the still unbeaten) Daz, while Paul made some fine saves to further frustrate the losing team.

7-2: Patto (a long pass from Rowan found Patto on his own, and with Spence’s late run distracting one defender, Patto turned Griffin and hit a clean strike into the top right corner)
Men of the Match were Pete, who “rarely gave the ball away and [produced an] energetic performance given his 120 mins the day before”, and Patto, although it was a “difficult one to give, but it goes to him for a good strike for his goal.”
