Week 1 - 22nd March v Underdogs L 1-3
well well jumpers for goal posts, game of two halves blah blah.... First game
of the season and unfortunately expectation out weighed the performance on a
chilly Monday night. the Unison side of Roland Broomfield, Steve Haines, Steve
Garland, Shaun White, Brian Waterworth, and Manager Julian Thrupp were beaten 3
goals to one in an interesting first game in the Cullompton 6 a side league.
It was a pretty even contest with the scores 1 a piece going in at half time
thanks to quickly taken corner by S Haines and a slick finish by Thrupp. However
after half time the Unison defence or lack of it! was undone by the pace and
shear numbers of the opposition in the attacking half. Goalkeeper Shaun White
said after the game " I felt like I was the last one left at the Alamo".
Eventually this pressure told and they got a couple of late goals without reply
to end the game 3-1 but not without the Unison team wasting a few golden
opportunities toward the end!
Roll on next week!
Week 2 - 29th March v My Little Pony W 6-2
well well what a difference a week makes, before this i think Sven had been
contacted about my job! This week the Unison team ran out 6-2 winners in a more
entertaining and organinsed team display than the previous week. A good
defensive display by Mark H and especially Brian Waterworth ensured a great
first win.
Steve G hit his first hat trick of the season with Julian T scoring twice,
however there were many missed opportunities which bodes well, but it was nice
just to get the first win and three ponts well earned.
