Jacko Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well boys, Didn't bother watching Liverpool vs Chelsea last night as was playing in my own cup final from the team I play for in the Lancashire and Cheshire Saturday afternoon league. We played on a Unibond's team ground near Bredbury with proper stands and everything . Pitch was very good quality astro turf which I was unsure of but was good. Anyway, we went 1-0 down after their only attack of the first half in which we didn't play well. But came back strongly in second half to equalise. Went all the way through extra time at 1-1 and then to the dreaded penalities. They took the first one and it was 4 a piece after 5 pens each. Their first sudden death penalty was then missed and then it was my responsibility as Captain to try to win it for us! Which i goddam put away sweeeeetly!!! Ended up in a pile on with about 50 supporters on top as it all went mental! Was a great way to win it and for me personally as i'd scored a 25 yd volley into the top corner in last the ten mins of the semi to get us through! I'm not known for lots of goals (more a midfield destroyer) but really please to have won it. But so chuffed to win it! Lifting that cup was class in front of the crowd and our coach of supporters that had travelling with us! Superb! Just gotta win our last league now on Sat to win the double!

jonathan73 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Jacko - do you guys ever enter into The Corporate Games? http://www.cgoe.co.uk/ We've entered a 6-a-side footy team for years now competing against the likes of Shell, Andersson Consulting (when they were around), Texaco, BT, and smaller companies. The UK Corp. Games are in Sheffield this Year, perhaps your team should think about entering? It's a great weekend, though admittedly Sheffield isn't quite gonna be like being in Aberdeen during Euro 96 (Eng v Scot day and Gazza's goal), or Ireland. Hey, perhaps www.350z-uk.com could enter a team? Check it out. The deadline for this year is FAST approaching (next week I think) but I'm gonna be there for sure to see if we can go better than 3rd last year.

Jon, Its not a corporate thing..... its a proper Saturday afternoon football club, with 3 teams etc. Couple of steps down from semi pro etc..... but good league. Lancashire and Cheshire league on a Saturday has about 12-16 divisions depending on number of clubs etc in seasons...... Sarnie, Shame mate. I know how heart broken I would have been if we lost that last night, especially on penalties. We were the better side generally I think anyway, much better football. Just couldn't do it in the last third, gotta lot of young kids in the team, so I think nerves got to a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
