Seaburns Sad Sinking

Where do i start? ,the leagues decision to play this match at swampy hill when there was a perfectly good pitch at Litherland Sports ,or the fact that as a semi final we only had 1 lines man which was a total farce ,or the fact that the referee with the whistle glued to his lips ruined what should have been a realy good game, but you no what no moaning this week just glad that we have reached another final ,yes another 1
Anyway to the game ,like i said earlier the pitch was a mess with the centre like a pond ,and with a gale blowing the length of the pitch it made hard going . Seaburn playing into the wind first half and were under the cosh from kick of but defended well for 15 mins ,they had an attack and played some slick football working the ball in to the box when 1 of their players was fouled resulting in a pen ,Basher Porter stepped up to take it but shot wide as he seemed to slip as he took it .
The lions seemed to find another gear and 10 mins later Jon Gladwell waltzed round 2 or 3 defenders before slotting in the top corner 1-0 , this spurred the lads on and again with the help of the wind we kept the ball in their half till 10 mins later johny glad headed home from 5 yds 2-0 which is how it stayed till half time.
The second half was a reversal of the first with the lions struggling to get out of their half with the wind and Seaburns good play keeping us pinned in ,10 mins in to the half Seaburn had a free kick witch was floated to the back post and headed into the back of net,2-1 .Dean lost his head at this and got sent of for screaming at the ref,still we defended well till full time
The second half saw us playing with the wind ,but with 10 men it was hard going ,as Seaburn closed down well untill a ball came out toi Maca on the left wing and from about 30 yds he hit a rocket into the top corner 3-2,mins later Seaburn scored again from a free kick again bad defending 3-3 the last 15 Seaburn turned it on and we defended for our lives , with 5 mins to go it looked like it was going to penelties until we got a corner Maca took it and somehow bent it in to the goal 4-3 which is how it stayed to the final whistle.
