22 Brave men took to the soccer field in a night which can only be described as ‘the coldest f*cken night of the year.’

The game started very professionally with a few TV dives and some well put together passes. Some individual brilliance by Timo saw the first goal of the night with an immaculate strike from outside the box to put the Fourths.com in the lead. With their tails up the Fourths.com pushed forward; some resolute defense by Jorn ‘the Dutchman’ Das, Ogre ‘hou my dop vas’ and Mark ‘Springfield’ Forrester managed to keep the surge at bay. After a solid 10 minutes of defense, some well worked interplay by the forwards lead to the first Shebeen goal of the night. A cross into the middle saw the goal keeper spill the ball where Chris was waiting to pop it into the net.

This appeared to be all Shebeen needed to kick start their evening. Andrew ‘Kingpin’ Moir controlled the game from the middle by feeding the strikers with some valuable ball and helping the defensive wall by marking the Fourths.com key players. Three unanswered goals followed the first leaving Shebeen 4 – 1 up at the half.

With the fourths changing goal keepers like Jenna Jameson changes her positions, they eventually settled with Jarrod after the half time break. This wise tactical change proved tough for the Shebeen strikers who battled to put the ball in the net. The second half produced no goals for the men in green despite some BRILLIANT through-balls by Gary and darting runs by Chris Vella and Devzo…….6

Andy ‘check my blue undies’ Forrester was nominated as the best player on the night with precision passing and a Forlane type goal that Forlane himself would get hard over. Jarrod was close behind him with his solid defense at the Fourths.com’s goal line.

The final score: 4 – 3 to Shebeen

Good morning. In approximately 40hours we will be launching the largest football battle in the history of mankind.  We will unite in our common goal to beat the Fourths.com in yet another sporting discipline (cricket and rugby have been ticked off the 2010 list). Perhaps its fate that tomorrow is also the day Kyle was born many moons ago….
Should we win the day, the fourteenth of July will no longer be known as Kyle’s birthday, but as the day the Shebeen SSC declared in one voice: “You are our bitch fourths.com” We will not vanish without an after match fines session! We’re going to party! We’re going to survive! Tomorrow we celebrate our victory!
