Match Report: The day Pommy looks forward to every season had finally arrived – Eurovision and team photo day all in one – life doesn’t get any better for our stalwart right back. Our very own Bearded Lady waltzed around his lounge room in the early hours of Sunday morning as Dami Im warbled her heart out before heading to the bathroom to put his make up on and poof up his hair to look in tip top condition for the photo

We then headed down to Jamison Park for our second encounter of the season against Penrith FC. With close to a full compliment, The Gaffer was presented with the pleasing problem of who to start and whom to bench. Paulie had been omitted from the Sean Saturday evening availability text but had chipped away at The Gaffer to somehow get himself on the sheet as an ‘only to be used in emergency’ sub

We started brightly and took an early lead as Andy Football nodded in a Tolly corner. We dominated possession and created plenty of chances but couldn’t get a second to put us right in control. As Pirate was heard to say later on, this bit us on the place where ticks like to nestle as FC equalized after half an hour

The start of the second half was where the game was lost. First two minutes and two goals – a defensive error and then a penalty handed control to our opponents. We continued to dominate possession and create chances and finally pulled one back as some simple two touch passes from Kev the Keeper, to Tolly to Cobra to JB who put Braddles away in behind the defence to calmly slot home. Andy Football met a JB corner with a text book downward header that bounced up and just over the cross bar. With time running out, The Gaffer smashed the glass on the Emergency button and sent Paulie out to try and salvage a point. Despite his best efforts down the right, FC held on and the 3 points were theirs

Looking forward to being kicked by Pommy at training on Thursday but so worth it
