Yes we won and yes Smurfy pulled off some saves. One in particular that had everyone pinching themselves to see if they were dreaming.

We were down to the bare 11 as there was no Matt, Lewis, Screw or JT and I turned up to be sub but decided to die at the side of the pitch instead, courtesy of some germs picked up at my niece's birthday party the day before.

Bare in mind that Falkland beat Berks Arms 6-0 last week and Berks Arms had beaten us 2-1 the week before. We started quite brightly and Macca put us a goal up early on when he went one on one with the keeper. Then we were 2-0 up shortly after with a lovely passing move that led Macca to fizz the ball across the 6 yard box where Browny had lost his marker and just had to sidefoot it in. Browny then had a one on one but had to take the ball a long way and overcooked it on his way so the keeper could come out and gather it up. We had a few more attacks as well but I missed some of it cos I was in the river.

Then they got one back from a corner but Smurfy held his hands up cos Macca was gonna head it away then Smurfy called for it but couldn't claim it. Left their guy with a tap in, dunno why he wasn't marked.

But we reacted really well and after a few more attacks Macca restored the 2 goal lead - I missed it (in the river again).

Second half again we started brightly and had a few good chances to score but they put a lot of pressure on us. While they saw a lot more of the ball in the second half our defence pretty much soaked them up. I remember one chance that they definitely should have scored but their striker miss hit it terribly. Then with about 10 minutes to go the ball's spilled out from a corner to a guy unmarked about 5 yards outside the box. He's taken one touch and then launched a shot that was cruising into the top corner. As soon as he hit it I was considering sitting Browny back into a 5 man midfield to break them up a bit and stop them getting a 3rd but Smurf's appeared out of nowhere, flying through the skies like a superhero, right hand outstretched like God annointing his subjects and tips the ball over the bar.

Not only did it save us from what would have been a very nervous finish (or worse), but it pretty much showed Falkland that they weren't going to score and we ran out the rest of the game a lot more comfortably.

All in all, we well deserved the win and it could have been by more. A second top quality performance in a row, so typically there's no game this weekend...
