Real tight game this, Diamonds were a bit rough at times (notebly David getting launched into the sideboard via a stupid and dangerous tackle by their sweeper). Both teams had good keepers (hence the low scoreline) but to be fair, we wasted some sitters and Grays a God between the sticks.
We lost Burke after about 10minutes due to a hamstring injury, I missed the incident myself due to picking glass outta my heel but I'm told the injury made grown men cry. Burke had been doing a good job at harrassing their team up until that point too.
Stimo scored a blinder and Craigs only goal of the game was quality too, wacked in from the right wing into the far corner early on but injury put a dampner on his impact.
The game remained tight into the second half and unfortunately for everone, there was a 10minute period (at least) when the ball just didnt go out of play and so prevented tired players subbing. At 4-4 eveyone looked totally knackered and the game was just desperate to say the least, with tired minds & legs making errors and loosing markers, both keepers excelled at this point.
With the scores still all level and with about 4 minutes remaining, both teams finally made subs and the fresh legs brought urgency to the game. I managed to slip my marker and Gray threw a longball down the middle, with me latching on to hit the winner. We held out for the last 2 minutes and got a good 3 points.
Goals: Stimo (2), Craig (1), Ste H (1)
Team: Burke, Craig, David, Gary, Graeme, Ken, Ste H, Stimo
