I hear that Old Hooky play their home games there is this right?
I saw the duck drop his load, poor effort though he missed everyone. Apparently it was a sniper who got Tim early on ( and him in his prime)according to Liam. Disappointed he has not made any comment on here as yet, I always look forward to his words of wisdom. His comments remind me of the Dali Lama. (Or is it LLama)?

: Due to yet another new injury, my report this
: week comes from a view from the bench.
: After scratching for a team the week
: before, it was good to see an influx of
: players turn up this week (there must be a
: cup final coming up in a weeks time???).
: Watsy was that keen that he arrived at 6PM,
: and even had time to pop down to Mcdonalds
: and have his usual pre-match meal of Big
: Mac, Chips & Coke (Diet, of course). He
: turned up, absolutely delighted that he got
: Travalgar Square on his scratch card,
: leaving him only Fleet Street to get, to win
: a Scooter. Good to see Fleety again, after
: his 2 weeks absence. Phil McRodney &
: Chris Fontaine are still AWOL after still
: not returning back from African Nations
: duty. It was nice of the league to give us
: a league fixture up on Milton Heights,
: playing at a high altitude, in preparation
: for next week's final at Chippy. Believe me
: some of these lads are concerned for their
: health and have had Mark O'Hara help them to
: upgrade their insurance's, just in case. St
: John's Ambulance have also been booked.
: Creedy named the side; Fleety in goal, a
: back four of Creedy (Manager's favourite),
: Mark Lewis, Jules Dark & Watsy.
: Midfield four of Tim Bowley, Bradders, Marco
: & Olly. Up front, Julio & Andy
: Thomas (the big fella from Marston, not the
: slim, quality player that used to play and
: manage City). 4 subs of Clarkey (or some of
: you might know him as Tomkins), Mark
: Jennings, Smyler & a very disappointed
: Liam Carroll after his MOM performance last
: week against OCC.
: Creedy told all the lads of his
: disapointment of last week's performance,
: and expected a much better performance.
: The 1st half was really all about Julio, and
: how many more chances does he want??? Tim
: told me he counted 6 good chances (I'm sure
: Tim won't mention it to you, Jules?). It
: was also noticeable that Jules and Thommo
: were going to be in for a little bit of
: rough treatment for the next 80 minutes
: after some quite crude challenges coming in
: the back of them, with the ref not giving
: them much protection. Just like playing
: Kidlington again. Two early injuries to Tim
: and Marco didn't help City's cause, but on
: came Clarkey and a bronzed Smyler, to which
: one of the Milton supporters shouted out
: "Is that one of the Chuckle
: Brothers"? And right on cue Smyler in
: true "From me to you to me to you"
: did a one-two with Thommo, and blasted it
: over the bar. I was that close to taking
: him straight off to save his embarrasment.
: City went in at half time 1-0 up thanks to a
: Shaun Bradbury pile blaster from 3 yards,
: after the keeper couldn't hold Clarkey's
: free-kick. It was nice to see Shaun score ,
: as we were all worried for him earlier in
: the game, after Fleety nearly took his head
: off from a corner. The Anger Management
: course must have worked, as Shaun would
: probably still be out for the count now.
: The second half was much the same. City had
: most of the pocession but could not really
: make it count. The second and decisive goal
: came midway through the 2nd half, and like a
: true great goal scorer, it came from Julio
: Baressi , who did not let the other half
: dozen chances he missed in the first half
: affect him, slot home from 1 yard, after the
: keeper felt a little bit sorry for him, and
: just dropped the ball at his feet, and then
: said there you go son, get your confidence
: up. Apparantly there goalkeeper was
: Italian?
: Did anybody else see that Duck fly over and
: empty his bowels from the heavens? How he
: managed to miss every one, I don't know.
: I would just like to mention Tim Bowley, who
: didn't put a foot wrong in the 2 minutes
: that he lasted on the pitch. I would also
: like to thank Thommo for filling in for me
: up front, even though Julio told me he
: really missed me for my workrate.
: My man of the match award has to go to
: Creedy. I thought his distribution and his
: workrate was second to none (am I in the
: starting line up next week, boss?).
: All looking forward to the final next week
: at Chippy (who at the OFA chose this as a
: venue???) against Old Hooky.

: Goals from shaun Bradbury and Julio Baresi
: secured a comfortable win at Milton last
: night.
: The football was delightful to watch and a
: competitive game followed.

: playing at chipping Notron in the league cup
: final.
