Pakefield Re-United- 27
Pot Black FC- 27
Well you know the Summer is nearly over when we meet our old friends Pakefield Re-United in pre-season and as usual it was a bloody lash up.
After mixing the dates up, our Sunday side were due to fill in last weekend but called off cause we were short, and this week we turned up for an eleven aside match with 10 players only to see one of them (Birdy pictured right) lose nearly 7 pints of blood in the car park when his airbag deployed after hitting Lawsey's fat arse with his mondeo!
As a result it was 8-a-side on the astro! Both sides started strongly with Gav Hunt & Darren Laws making early exits for prior commitments, but despite this L'Orange had built up a healthy lead of 24-1 but at this point Managing Genius Neil 'Dippy' Dale pulled a master stroke during the break when he said "Danny your lads look beat, why don't you take two of mine? Have P.G & Crafty this half (pictured left)." "Cheers!" says I, as I walked unaware into his cunning trap!
Within 7 minutes the glorious Claret army had waltzed through that big hole in the centre of the pitch left by P.G who was trying to re attach crafty's knee's with blue tac, as their blend of pace and guile saw them take a 27-24 lead.
Never fear P.B fans there is one man who in times of strife always comes to the rescue for the team he loves! Ok so its normally things like "can you go buy some water?" or "can you run the line?" or "Seriously Neil just sign for someone else, we don't want you!" but on this occassion he came up with a hatrick that it sickens me to say was outstanding and one of them was a header! 27-27 well done Banksey!
On a serious note after seeing the quality Re-United had on display and knowing who was missing, it serves as a warning to the Second Division... Pakefield are coming to get you!!!
Many thanks to Crafty, Dippy and all the lads for another enjoyable run out, and ta to the few P.B boys who attended especially Arry who helped us out at short notice. Much appreciated.
