well done lads,we've won a trip to chippy norton for a final.(hope the snows gone by then) not a good first half, but the 3 month's break didn't help.any way, give credit where credits due, to the stonesfield lads they pushed us for 50 mins. goals by dark,barresi and super sub holden finished them off..like to thank thomo(the pants,with pockets)for keeping goal, mind you,his underpants would have covered the hole goal if needed,that must be some super strength washing line you've got at home .good attendance last night i counted at least 1 fan per side and 5 behind the goal things are looking up!!sorry to say but im away for next weds game( cheltenham races),but on a good note though i've left mark ohara in charge!!!!!!.

: creedy broke the news to me early yesterday
: that I would be in goal I still felt very
: proud - Though Creed did say to me that he
: knew my fitness was improving each week and
: it would not be too long before I would be
: challanging Holdey ,Julio and Rodders for
: one of the front positions .
:
: Creedy I do except your invitation to join
: all the lads on the end of season do at the
: dogs and I sure that we will all continue
: where we left off last night with stories
: from the past and the present.

: Oh it's good to be back. 80 minutes of
: total
: football and stiff as a board, walking round
: like a robot for the next 48 hours after.
: Good to see all the lads again, after our
: mid-season break. The usual banter started
: as soon as we got in the dressing room.
: Rumours were going round Oxford that Creedy
: had a new Goalkeeper for this game, as Colin
: (Lobby) Fleet was on an Anger Management
: Course in Coventry. Then in walks Thommo
: with a donout in one hand and a king size
: Mars Bar in the other claiming he was
: donning the gloves for the evening. We
: started off with a weigh in, and suprisingly
: the team only weighed in a stone heavier
: than our last get together back in December.
: Not bad, looking at the state of Thommo and
: Dave Watson.
: Creedy done his usual Player of the Month
: award for December, and this honour went to
: Shaun Bradbury for his impersonation of
: Bambi on Ice over at Ardley. A Mars bar
: Easter Egg was handed over to Bradders,
: although I believe Thommo brought it off him
: for 50 pence.
: Then the team was anounced. Phil McRodney
: and Chris Fontaine had still not returned
: from African nations duty, Fleety was on his
: course and Gary Murphy had the all England
: Dominoes championship to attend. Thommo in
: goal, a back four of Creedy, Mark O'Hara,
: Mark Lewis & Jules Dark. Midfield Tim
: Bowley, Bradders, Stuart Clarke & Watsy.
: Up Front Holdy & Mark Orlando. On the
: bench, Liam Carroll, Mark Jennings &
: Julio Baressi (still depressed at AC Milan
: getting turned over by Arsenal).
: The boys really struggled first half,
: although dominating most of the pocession,
: really let themselves down with the final
: ball in the final third. We'll put it down
: to too much of the good stuff over xmas
: (won't we Watsy???)
: We'll just write the first off as one of
: those days. However, the second half was a
: much different affair with the Vets back to
: their silky best. Julio replaced Watsy at
: half time. We had to keep an eye on Watsy
: as he was a little bit depressed on the way
: he had performed in the first half (all
: sharp objects were kept away from him). The
: substitution seemed to work wonders as Julio
: scored a cracking volley 5 minutes into the
: 2nd half after great work from Olly down the
: left wing. Within 10 minutes it was 2-0
: after a cracking individual goal by
: "little" Julian Dark. The game
: was done and dusted with 20 minutes
: remaining, when yours faithful anticipated a
: back pass, and rounded the keeper to make it
: 3-0. I then added my second with 5 minutes
: remaining, after good work from Clarkey to
: make the final score 4-0 and send us to the
: final, where we will meet Old Hooky, who
: beat Ducklingon 3-0 in the other semi last
: night.
: I must mention Thommo's save right at the
: death. Top Quality Thommo (watch your back
: Fleety).
: Credit must go to Stonesfield for really
: making it a tough game for us. It was good
: to see my old strike partner from my Cold
: Arbour days, Johnny Merrill still playing
: (thanks for the studs down the back of my
: leg, Johnny???).
: The banter carried on afterwards in the
: dressing room and in the bar afterwards.
: Marco told us all about his trip to La
: Manga, but I don't think I should share any
: of this info on the noticeboard!!!
: Roll on next Wednesday. Chinnor Away at
: Abingdon Town. Be there or be Square.
