Finch for warner makes all the difference. In a stunning turnaround from their humiliating defeat the week before, blues drop their weakest player and it pays instant dividends - treacherous pitch conditions undermine the reds slick passing game - comedy own goal by park, who palmed a speculative punt from the blue keeper into his own net giving blue a one goal lead with 10 minutes to go - victory sealed by transatlantic guest star finch in last minute - blues win 5-3 |

Wednesday - Another fine win for blues , who on paper looked the weaker team. Whites storm into a 4-1 lead at the half - goals from cuddigan, shorty, and probably pete davies, while blues struggle to find rythmn. Blues start on the come back trail with a fine header from baker - mark cuddigan feeble in goal ducking out of the way from a kline shot, blues solid defensively, second half hat-trick for kline seals the win - park tap-in in the last minute ices the cake. other highlights - warner sending ball into orbit over the fence and narrowly missing a passing cyclists. blues by 3 clear goals. |

Blues win by one goal - For the blues - hat-trick for Reynolds - one notable goal - a bit like Ronaldo's against England but better because I meant it - Pete Davies scored 2 before doing his hamstring - brave performance by Beaumont who was very ill but nevertheless managed to run a bit, a cool finish from Park when normally it would have been blazed over the bar, and a couple for Kline too, who also gets credit for many assists. - For the Whites - Arbib header - Cuddigan header against the bar - volley blazed wide of the post (see a pattern emerging ?) - excellent goal at the near post by Degs after some intricate short passing with Arbib, and a fine volley by Duncs . First outing for the machine that measures how much you run. |

IT WAS the best of headers, it was the worst of headers, it was a game of wisdom, it was a game of foolishness, it was the epoch of Barney, it was the epoch of Hugo, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to the pub, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the game was so far like the chelsea barcelona game, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. Blues win by two clear goals. |

A match of the highest quality - Blues surge into a first half lead - going into the break 5 nil up, Baker, as the extra man was more of a hindrance than a help, and although nominally blue seemed to be playing for whites for most of the shortened first half with a couple of disgraceful misses in front of an open goal - quality one touch football resulting in a pair of goals for romeo and others shared between the team. Half ends as romeo sends the ball into orbit over the fence. reynolds opens the scoring with a soft goal at the near post in second half 6 nil with 25 minutes to go and blues hold out until quarter to when gorton sneaks in at the far post to open the white account - baker now more effective having switched teams at half time - whites gradually peg back the score, and are one goal down at 8 pm before a lengthy period of injury time ensues - cuddigan - miles offside - stabs the equaliser, taking the game to penalties. cool heads as follows - ethan, barney, degs, hugo, arbib, inglis, howard, davies, gorton - shameful misses - duncan (wide right), gillespie, inspired by the hammers in the fa cup misses TWICE !!!, baker, romeo. Whites win. |

4-man River sinks 7-man Boca with late Cuddigan chip over Chops. Samaria returns after six year absence looking only a decade older. Short / Warner and Gorton combine in swift passing move to complete best goal of game. Warner twice celebrates outstanding strikes but elated surprise is not shared by teammates…O'Reilly twists ankle after attempting to dribble through three Boca players. |

Reynolds: "can i claim a hat-trick for wednesday please?". Lesson of the day: don't shout 'finish' at a team mate when he's in front of goal with a man up his arse. It may sound like useful advice, but can easily be misinterpreted to mean 'dick around with the ball long enough to be tackled by said man and then blame someone else for inability to tap in from close range'. |

Reynolds: "Did you see my powerful right foot drive that left Olly clutching his nether regions before drilling the rebound left footed past the hapless keeper?"; Jamie Waugh:- "Game was good although I whacked my head on the ground in the first 5 mins (as you do), which left me dazed and confused for a bit…. Score 4-4 so close game." |

Boca leading 6-5 with 10 minutes to go… 2 notable goals from O'Reilly. Notable because he scored them. Not much else except a glaring Reynolds miss in the dying seconds, but that's hardly notable. |
