Mid season break and back to a bit of cup magic. The boys were struggling for numbers until hours before kickoff yet somehow managed to wrangle 4 subs by match time.

Up against V-Well who we beat comfortable last time out with Shokoohi sustaining a permanent disfigurement. With a punch-up in the match beforehand more violence was in the air..

V-Well started off playing a ridiculously high line, with it only taking a few attempts until Jacob sprung the offside trap.

1-0

A mazing run down the wing by Farshid ended up with him hugging the baseline and cutting it back to Grainger to finish off.

2-0

All of the V-Well attack was focussed on bombing balls through at their vertically challenged front-line. This managed to finally pay-off as a ball managed to find its way through to one of the onrushing strikers.

2-1

It wasn’t long before the Frothers got their two goal lead back. In Andy’s first match for the Frothers we cruised into the box to be taken down from behind.

Up stepped Milan for the penalty. 5 years since the last time he scored, it didn’t show however. Sending the keeper the wrong way.

3-1

A V-Well player decided he’d had enough, lashing out with a kick at Oli after a coming together. The ref was straight to the red card.

To cap off the half a V-Well defender decided Lance should probably have a goal too.

4-1

Halftime

In a gesture of pure good will, Lance snuck over to the ref and said V-Well could continue to play with XI, careful not to tell Chris till after the match.

This turned out to just be a showboating ploy, as from kick-off Lance rocketed straight down the wing and banged a cross through the keeper for Grainger to finish off after about 10 seconds. Filthy.

5-1

After getting grief for a hatful of missed attempts in the first half there was no way Yarride was going to miss out on filling his boots. Breaking the line twice. With V-Well getting another scrappy goal.

7-2

The other horseman of the rout was also soon to show-up. Ian came charging forwards to finish off an Evan cross delightfully.

8-2

In the last minute of the match Milan and Yarride were toying with the keeper’s life. A 1-2-3 pass to sweat him to death and finish Yarride’s hattrick.

9-2

Man of the match

He’s no dead yet! Milan finally found the goal again just games away from retirement. An assist to sweeten the pot too.

Dick of the day

Yarride, it takes something special to score a hattrick and still have your output put under the microscope. 1-on-1s, headers into empty nets, keeper off his line? You name it, he missed it. It took a moment of generosity from MVP Milan to cap off the hattrick.

Shithouse of the day

Special shout out this week to a player who has thrown his hat in the ring to challenge Farshid for the academy award this year. Oli, after feeling the knick of a outstretched boot, made a meal of the contact. Combine that with coming back from a supposed MCL injury after a few weeks, no rehab, only go come off with a rolled ankle.
