NORTH MERSEY v VALANTINE 3-2-08

Our football team showed that they can overcome any problems ,after this realy great performance on Sunday,with 3 key players out because of work comittments,the team had to be reshuffeled ,resulting in players ,playing in positions that they are not used to,a special mention must go to Anthony Godfrey ,who went in goal and normaly plays right back ,well done lad ,also a big UP to Jon Gladwell who we had to drag out of his sick bed ,and he rewarded us with an hat trick ,what a lad.
On i think , what was one of the worst days for football in a long time ,with a permanant gale blowing the length of the pitch ,both teams performed outstsandingly to make a game of it , half time 3-0
The second half had the Lion playing in to the wind and they coped well controling the ball in the middle of the park making Valentine work hard for any posestion that they had ,20 mins into the half Valentine were awarded a very ify penalty which Anthony got a hand to but could not save 3-1.
This made the Valentine raise their game and they piled forward, putting our lads under pressure ,but with the cool heads and leadership of Clegy and Lee Sid we held out with Peno scoring in the last 10,final score 4-1
