Edlington Tumbler FC 1 - 0 Flying Childers FC 💙🖤
Shay Evans-Booth (Pen) ⚽️
A belated post this week as our usual correspondent was covering the Liverpool City game much to his demise - won’t be in any rush for any future fixture clashes and besides, it’s only football… not like it matters or owt…
Anyway, a strong tie by the sounds of it. Not the usual high scoring bonanza we’ve grown accustomed to but you get 3 points all the same and that’s what we took from it. According to Sime, our strikers had blindfolds on so it was a joyous occasion when Shay finally slipped his off to put us ahead from the spot.
The glory this week is all MOTM Ralphy’s though, a superb penalty save to make sure we kept the spoils and our current run of form alive. Despite getting off on the wrong foot in our opener, we look as if we could be well in the mix this season. Of course, it all depends on how many Xmas do’s that Brandon ‘BangAtIt’ Mee plans for his teammates - we’ll have to wait and see.
All credit to the *checks notes* Oss Army for keeping us otherwise at bay, should they decide to kick the stable doors open and jump ship I’m sure Boults can get their trackies sized up - they’ve always had a soft spot for us after all.
No game this weekend, good job anorl - gives me time to take delivery of the shipment of inflatable apples we’ve ordered in memory of our days under Smithy’s reign and the pints of Inch’s that flowed freely. He’s not really here, up the Tumbler 🍏
