McVitee FC on tour - Luton WHOSH (a)
Dave Barker
Luton WHOSH 0 McVitee 6
McVitee FC played their 3rd league match of the season, our first away outing,
down at rain-drenched Luton. With the usual pre-match training of a nightclub
in St. Albans followed by nutritional intake of kebabs at 3 in the morning
(Glenn, you've got your tactics all wrong mate), the boys turned up at 11am at
the Leisure Centre. We had 11 players and the Luton lads had 13.
The pitch was just right - muddy as hell, just the way football should be
played. The line-up as follows:
Richard Savage
Dave Barker Pete Singleton Lee Grime Martin Ford
Colin Surrey Martin Price Andy Tim James
Lee Hanson Jonathan Jones
With Luton opting to play against the slope for the first half (typical 2nd
division pitch), McVitee went into half-time with a 2-0 lead with goals from
Lee Hanson and Andy. The first 10 minutes of the second half saw Luton throw
everything at us, but we held out with some gritty defending and some good
saves by Richard.
Jonathan then broke and snatched a third which finally broke Luton and a goal
by Tim James and 2 by Jonathan sealed their fate.
Final score: Luton 0 - McVitee FC 6
A good performance in difficult conditions sees us currently 4th in the league
