Super away win at Cookstown
A 4-3 win for the 2s against one of porcine-kinds greatest foes!
North Downâs SloMo-Messi, Jamie Orr, oozes through simple-carb avoiding Cookstown 2s defence like melted cardboard-packed-to-make-it-look-expensive Lidl chocolate to spearhead this seasonâs first just-when-itâs-needed taking of a marquee scalp (where âmarqueeâ means âteam we have a less than satisfactory record againstâ).
Two for the Is He Orr Isnât He Messi, two for our in house Normaliser of Deviance (donât worry concerned parents, itâs an engineering term!), Rich Willis and a save by Jamie McAuley that caused one Cookstown veteran goalkeeping spectator to decide that âamazingâ wasnât enough and that there was nothing for it but to resort to other unpublishable words in a family setting that basically boil down to âastonishingâ.
Thanks to umpire Andy Walls for refusing all offers of guano from both sides and Adgey for delivering himself, the balls, shirts, one third of the players and one fifth of the other two thirds of the players kit a full 10 minutes before the start of the game.
The Great Escape is a go boys.
