Sportspy Reports – Sunday August 22nd 2010

Starting on Pitch 6 where Division 3 leaders Ashiana FC (Purple) were looking to maintain their 100% league record by making it four wins from four.  This looked to be a decent game in the early stages with the score at 1-1 after about 25 minutes.  In the end Ashiana Fc took the points following a narrow 4-3 win.

The Ashiana keeper comes out for it.

Get up

Referee Kelvin Dyson…'I didn't see anything'

On pitch 4 DH Gas FC (7th) were hosting early season strugglers Truncheon FC (Purple) who were still looking for their first point in Sunday football.  DH Gas FC were soon 2-0 to the good but my appearance soon resulted in a goal for Truncheon but in the end DH Gas FC ran out 5-1 winners.

You'd struggle to get a normal comb through that.

Arguing with Mr Bascombe always ends the same way

Yellow card

Perhaps I'll get away with it

Think again

Comfy?

The twins have no interest in proceedings

The Truncheon FC number 10 beats the advancing keeper to the ball and lobs it into the net to make it 2-1

On pitch 3, third met fifth in Division 4 as CBFC Choices Furniture (Red) were at home to Waterloo Hotspurs FC.  Another close game this one as CBFC Choices Furniture stayed top after an exciting 4-3 win.

Late in the game and CBFC (Red) defend a corner.  Who will reach the ball first?

It's the Hotspurs as the ball finds the bottom corner

On your feet lads – we go again

Over the Ditch on Pitch 7 Shovels FC (Red and white) were at home to the County FC in Division 1.  Both were in mid table and looking for a win to boost them into the top half.  The Shovels were 2-0 up at the break and went on to win 4-2 to keep up their recent improvement in form.

It must be in….no, it bent wide of the right hand post.

On Pitch 2 we had the Premier Division match between Fylde Coast gates FC (Boiled sweet) and Gardeners Arms FC who have a number of players from previous Thornton and Fleetwood sides in the squad.  Gates were bottom without a point and the Gardeners were in fourth at start of play.  On my arrival it was 1-1 although most observers were of the view that the Gardeners should have been coasting based on possession and chances.  At the final whistle the Gardeners had grabbed that all important winner to take all three points. 1-2 the final score.

'Tally' with his right wrist heavily bandaged.  Too much Television X I expect

On to Pitch 1 and the Stable Bar FC (Yellow) were playing the No1 Club FC in Division 4.  The No 1 Club FC were top with a 100% record at start of play after winning all three of their opening matches.  The Stable Bar were 8th.   It was 1-0 to the No1 but the Stable were pressing for an equaliser whilst I was watching.  At the final whistle the No 1 Club FC stayed top of the league after winning 2-1.
