After a loss in the cup last week, it was yet another cup game
this week for the 7's, this time away to Winchmore
Hill.......again.
As per usual we had the same old story with players pulling
out.....Andy was washing his girlfreinds hair, Chaz was out again
on his rollerblades, Scholesy and Andrew were getting their hair
dyed together and Graeme hurt his toe........apparently!
So poly had to borrow Chris and Michael from the 9's
and with the return of the so called, but never available,
captain we started the game. Both sides started lively and we knew
this was going to be no walkover but it wasn;t long before Poly
took the lead. A through ball by Dan was bought down
superbly by Rowan who then unleashed a half volley from outside the
box straight into the bottom corner. 1-0 Poly
Rowan
Poly sooned doubled their lead when George put Pierre through
for the frontman to smash past the keeper and make it two.
2-0 Pierre. The half drew to a close and
poly were in control
The second half started as the first ended, mikey slotted a
lovely through ball for Rob to latch onto who got to the
byline and whipped in a cross for the ever reliable Rowan to
power his header home from close range with a defender on his
shoulder, a superb team goal. 3-0
Rowan. And mikey soon put the game to bed,
George played him through down the wing and when
he twisted and turned and smashed a peach of a shot into the
top right corner. 4-0 Poly Mikey.
The lead was extended when Mikey found himself at the byline on
the right of the goal, pulled the ball back to Rob on the edge of
the area who drilled it towards the bottom left corner. A defender
stuck out a leg but could not prevent the innevitable as the ball
knicked his leg and looped in to the bottom left corner.
5-0 Poly Rob.
The best was saved for last as a goal kick from Joe was flicked
on cleverly by Rowan into the path of Rob who drove forward with
the ball, waited for the keeper to step far enough off his line and
then cleverly chipped him from 30 yards. 6-0 Poly
Rob.
Winchmore hill grabbed one back to make it 6-1 in the last
minute and the Poly were annoyed at not having kept the clean
sheet.
MoM: Hard to call as everybody shone but probably have to give
it to Danny "Peter Crouch" Scriven
