Brighton Bandits v London Leftfooters
30th January 2005, Preston Park
A record turnout for our away trip to the South Coast, with at total of 27 players and supporters.
Let's face it, everything was against us. The train down to Brighton on the Saturday night was half an hour late making us miss Pete's brother on the TV, we had to wait 45 minutes for our table at the restaurant, and the referee ... well, it's difficult to find nice words about his performance.
To be fair, Brighton were the better team, although they didn't deserve to win by 5-1, the final score. They implemented a actically astute game plan, with their manager bringing bottles of vodka and bacardi to the Amsterdam hotel the night before and forcing us to drink until 5am on Sunday morning.
However, we do maintain our unbeaten record of out-partying the other team the night before a game. This, of course, is the only guaranteed route to European competition next year.
Best supporter award must go to Liv, for shouting out "Get the ball off that fat f**ker!" at the top of her voice.
The scorer for Leftfooters was Morten, a well worked goal, and we were close to scoring a couple more times in the last few minutes. Although many of us were a little, ahem, off-form, Richy in particular had a very good game.
Cheers
