IPREO FC 1-2 NIG
This week's match report comes from the smoking keyboard of Mr Davey:
Riding high on our recent run of form & looking for an unprecedented 5th win in a row, we took on the boys from NIG with a very early 12:05pm start. It was also an early start for the goals, with Sean Robins slotting the ball in after just 10 seconds, to put us ahead with what must be our fastest goal ever!
In the absence of our star goal scorers from the last match (Dave “DT” Timothy and Dave “Workrate” Ririe) as well as our top goalkeeper Chris “The Crow”, the Ipreo boys put in a solid performance. With no substitutes available Jamie Donovan bravely played the full match despite originally requesting to only play the first half. Adam Rossi put in a strong performance and Paul “Newbs” Newby had one of his closest strikes at goal in recent times. Ed Buckman (making a welcome guest appearance in goal) was also in top form with some inspired saves.
Aggressive play from NIG gave the new referee (where was “chicken legs” today?) plenty to think about and ended in one of their boys being sent off for a spell in the ‘sin bin’. However, overall, NIG ground out the better game on the day putting away a goal in both halfs, and not even encouraging ‘toots’ on the Ipreo horn were enough to hold back what eventually became an inevitable defeat.
Post match insults sealed a lively match that ended our recent run of glory. It wasn’t the right day for a ‘bloggable’ post match team photo as the Ipreo boys retired despondently to the changing rooms.
