Lewbangers 3 MCD United 2
It was a classic game of two halves as Lewbangers got back to winning ways after a blip last week. The 'Bangers bounced back from a two goal deficit to take the three points with 3-2 victory, sealed with a late Woolbanger Sr. strike.
Lewbangers failed to get going at all in the first half and soon paid for their decision to not bother with a defence, and deservedly went 1-0 down within 5 minutes. Lewbangers were lucky to be only 2-0 down at half time such was the lethargy of their performance. MCD United scored their second shortly before half time, when a midfielder broke free and managed to scoop the ball over the oncoming Keithbanger into the net.
Some members of the biggest crowd of the season did think Lewbangers had made it 1-1 midway through the first half when Woolbanger went through, curled to the ball round the keeper, only to see it come back off the inside of the post.
Half time saw the weekly arrival of Woolbanger Sr. With him he brought his ideas for how the game could be won in the second half. Keithbanger came out of the goal and shored up the defence, whilst Woolbanger moved in between the sticks, allowing his father to lead the line.
It wasn't long before the changes paid dividends. Within a minute of the second half, Keithbanger had passed to Braggbanger on the halfway line, allowing to break past a couple of players and curl past the keeper to the right hand post. 2-1 and game back on.
Lewbangers had managed to take charge of possession, and were in the ascendancy without creating many clear-cut chances. This is where it pays to have clinical finishers like Thombanger. Bloombanger had crossed in from the right and when Woolbanger Sr. left it for him to strike, Thombanger finished to the near post.
Longbanger came back into the action, and between him and Keithbanger it seemed probable that MCD United wouldn't break through to take victory. Woolbanger was forced into one excellent save though.
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, and a decent draw at that considering the first half display, Woolbanger Sr. popped up to get his fourth of the season when he got on the end of a Bloombanger pass across goal, after Longbanger had helped open up play with an off-the-ball run.
Lewbangers now find themselves firmly placed in the top half of the table and though many lessons will have to be learned from this week, it bodes well for the remainder of the season. Lewbangers will be hoping it is true that it is a sign of the greats, when a team wins without excelling.
