Fosse Bounce Back in Style!
After last weeks 8-2 drubbing, Fosse were
looking to rip someone apart (in a footballing sense of
course) and 9 man F.C Kibworth seemed to be the perfect
whipping boys (well, they should make the effort to get
11 men on the pitch at the start of the game then shouldn’t
they!) Hopes of taking an early lead were dashed with shots
being blocked from Dean and Dawks and Bayliss missing from
two yards out after ten minutes when it was easier to score,
God love him! Twenty minutes gone and Kibworth had the grand
total of ten players thanks to one of them being bothered
to get out of bed and turn up. Fosse continued to press
with Dean shooting over the bar and even finding time to
do a cheeky double megs on an unsuspecting Kibworth defender.
Despite all this tomfoolery Fosse conceded ten minutes before
half time even though the defence had many a chance to clear.
When the Fosse faithful thought their beloved team were
going to go into half time 1-0 down up pops the better Farley
(James on this occasion) to penetrate the Kibworth goal
to make it 1-1. Sarah also said someone took someone else
from behind but I didn’t see it myself, I was looking
the other way.
HT: 1-1
Fosse had the bit between their teeth as they bounded onto
the pitch like excited puppies to start the second half,
so much so a superb cross from Captain Fantastic Craig saw
Deano smash the ball into the back of the Kibworth net to
take a deserved 2-1 lead. Five minutes later a ‘Beautiful
Bayliss’© cross saw Graham fumble the match ball
home for 3-1 to Fosse. Do we not like Orange? Well I think
we do on this occasion thank you! Shortly after this, Kibworth
had a goal disallowed for offside and Knighty did an excellent
impression of Crazy Legs Crane but eventually ran into a
brick wall.
Graham finally decided to do some defending….but for
Kibworth rather than Fosse and cleared an attacking shot
off the line; you would need to ask him what was going on
in his head at that point!
Fosse went 4-1 up on the hour when a Kibworth defender handled
in his box and the resulting penalty was flirted into the
net by Craig. Top linesman Rich Farley came on for Knighty
and then low and behold, on 78 minutes Jay of all people
scored! This was his first goal for Fosse and so has now
left the ‘I am a loser because I’ve never scored
for Fosse’ Club. Envious of his goal scoring exploits,
the manager (still in the Losers Club himself) made a double
substitution which saw him coming on for (not on to) Jay
and the other goal scoring ‘hero’ Farley coming
on for Nick, who ran around like a blue arsed fly for the
last ten minutes. And so it came to pass that on a dreary
December morn Fosse finished the game 5-1 and categorically
answered their critics.
Next time around Fosse are away at Oadby Owls
in the league, lets hope no one breaks anything this time!
