A's v B's Annual Charity Match - Saturday 6th September 2008

On a day more appropriate for frogs than football, it was the A's that emerged victors, winning 3-2. A sodden, heavy pitch was hard to play on, but it was the A's who started off sharper, whereas it looked like the B's first game of the season, who were slow and sluggish. Within 25 minutes, the A's were 2-0 up and the B's looking very slow in defence. The B's began to come into it a bit then, but were keeping it in their own half too much. A corker of a volley from Sam O'Dongo just before half time reduced the deficit.

A passionate half time team talk inspired the B's who showed a lot more attacking intent in the 2nd half. The A's had Steve Beckitt to thank on numerous occasions for some stupendous saves. The A's increased the lead again with a rocket from new co-manager Dan Preston only for Dan Quinn to reduce it again a few minutes later. The B's pressed forward desperately trying to find the equaliser but then the A's looked dangerous on the counter attack. The game petered out as cramp settled in. An impressive £200 was raised for International Needs.
