Hello my darlings, well from my stairlift in heaven I've been looking down on
you all, and in particular that lovely football team in red & blue. Me and
Jimi Hendrix love a bit of 'knitting' of an evening and we really can't wait for
Geri Halliwell to join us for a threesome. Knit one, Perl one, deary. So we
thought what better way to pass our time than to follow the Knitter's football
team.
There isn't that lovely, then. |
Well darlings, Hednesford started very well and kept the pressure on for first
20 minutes, though stretched the Hinckley defence coped well. The game turned
after 20 minutes. Hednesford should have gone 1 up, Tom Whittle gave away a free
kick 8 yards out by handling a back pass. Darren Simkin's shot was then saved by
Tommy's foot and almost straight away from another free kick Tommy Whittle made an
superb acrobatic save to keep it 0-0. Then 5 minutes later a through ball was
mopped up by Karl Brown but he dallied on the ball and let in the 'whippet like'
Justin Jenkins who calmly lobbed it over the stranded and embarrassed Ryan Young
in the Hednesford goal. Jamie Lenton had his lights on now and he whipped over a
couple of crosses from the left which Young took no problem. Hednesford finished
the half stronger and forced a number of corners and free kicks, but Simkin and
Kevin Seabury wasted these opportunities. Leon Jackson had a headed chance that
just skinned the cross bar, but the last real action of the half was a Neil
Cartwright run down the right, he cut inside and shot low with Young getting
down to save at the near post. Jimi thought Gavin Stone was having a good game
as he seemed to mop up everything Hednesford threw at him. However he also thought
the match could still go either way.
For the second half Hinckley started getting more width and bringing Neil
Cartwright forward more often. This gave Chris Smith the freedom to switch from
left to right and poor Karl Brown didn't know where to hide. Smith had Brown
twisting this way and that and he was having a mare. It was only a matter of time
before Hinckley got a second. Following a series of corners Cartwright put in
another far post corner. Gavin Stone headed it back across goal and Chris Smith
on the edge of the 6 yard box with his back to goal decided to bicycle kick the
ball past the motionless Ryan Young. A couple of minutes later Hinckley made sure
of the game. Cartwright and Smith again linked up well and played in Dave Crowley
who took it right to the line and chipped the ball over Ryan Young heading for
the goal. At the back post was Leon Jackson right on the line who made certain
by heading it in. Jimi's Afro must've been in the way here though as Crowley was
credited with the goal. Hednesford then brought on all their subs but it really
was too late. Jamie Lenton had a great chance for a fourth when through on goal
and his shot from a tight angle went over. However Hinckley did wrap up a 4-0 win
in injury time when substitute Bradley Piercewright found himself the beneficiary
of some very lazy defending and nutmegged Young on the line for Hinckley's
fourth.
Oh my, what a game. Jimi and me were not expecting that and you can
be sure all the girls in the knitting circle will be looking forward to tales of
the next match. |
