Meka Town 3 Sport Forum Albion 1
In a rather one sided match Meka Town took the points, consolidating their top half position, and leaving Sport Forum Albion deep in the relegation mire.
Shockingly it was Sport Forum Albion who took the lead against the run of play, when on 20 minutes their lone striker Benny ‘The Spaz’ Roberts latched onto a long clearance. He broke through the two defenders before tripping on the ball. As he fell he managed to slice it beyond the reach of Town's in form 'keeper Bob ‘Hawkeye’ Smith, and into the top corner.
The goal prompted a pitch invasion from the travelling Sport Forum Albion fans, as it was the first goal their team had scored in six matches. A number of the fans raised Roberts onto their shoulders and carried him off, possibly to the pub. It’s believed that these fans, and Roberts, were actually playing the ‘next goal wins’ rules, outlawed by MUFA (Made Up Football Association) in 1998. With ‘The Spaz’ playing no further part in the match he was replaced my Sport Forum Albion’s only sub 72 year old Walter Merryfield.
Once the game got underway again Sport Forum Albion pulled everyone back behind the ball to try to protect their lead, and they managed to do so right up until the verge of half time. Meka Town found space hard to come by, and their long range shots didn’t trouble the hulking frame of Sport Forum Albion keeper Hugh ‘The Whale’ Tofting.
In the 44th minute though a moment of magic levelled the game. A cross from the right from Wesley ‘Iron Boots’ Coffey was chested down by Craig ‘Shaking’ Stevens and layed off with the deftest of touches to French full back Gordon Goffér who hammer the ball low into the left corner of the goal, past the outstretched fin of Tofting.
In the second half things got worse for Sport Forum Albion, as they went behind within a minute of kick-off. ‘Shaking’ Stevens passed a ball out of the left to Hugo McManus and he took the ball towards the touchline. He curled in a high cross, and a gust of wind bent the ball over ‘The Whale’ and into the net. Sport Forum Albion skipper Steve Sheila complained to the referee that Tofting was impeded, but the referee claimed that Andrew ‘Harpoon’ O’Neil had not broken the rules.
Then when it was thought that things couldn’t get much worse for Sport Forum Albion manager Peter Peterson, formerly of Peterborough, he saw Walter Merryfield sent of on the hour make for an act of violent conduct. After felling Meka Town’s special guest player Nigel Havers, he thrust his zimmer-frame into his throat, cutting off his air supply. Havers was unable to play any further part in the match, and was replaced by Meka Town favourite, the Patron Saint of England, St. George.
In the dying minutes Meka Town added a final goal, and what a goal it was. Starting at the back ‘Hawkeye’ Smith rolled the ball out to Goffér. His run made space for Dave Angel in midfield, who received the ball and flicked it over the defence to leave O’Neil with only the keeper to beat. O’Neil sold Tofting a dummy, and left his sprawling on the floor as ‘Harpoon’ rounded him and fired into an empty net.
The remaining Sport Forum Albion fans greeted the final whistle with boos and jeers, and the team were quick to get back onto the team bus for the journey home. Many without showering. Or bathing.
After the match we were able to interview scorer of the final goal Andrew O’Neil.
“What a goal to finish the match Andrew”
“Well yeah, it’s always nice to get on the score-sheet, but I’d rather us win the game and not score than score and lose.”
“Yes, but today you scored, and won”
“Yes, but it’s a team sport, and I can’t take the whole credit, and the other lads played well out there.”
“Okay then ‘harpoon’. Could you talk us through the goal.”
“I’m standing with there defender, watching Gordon make his run. Then I’m seeing Dave Angel in space. I’m making my run, holding back to stay on-side when he knocks the ball over. He’s knocked it on perfect-like and I’m running on to the ball, past the last defender. Then I’m looking to go to the left, switching back to the right, and Tofting went the wrong way. That left me to just tap the ball in.”
“Well done Andrew.”
Meka Town manager Captain Beefheart was also pleased with the performance, but warned fans not to get ahead of themselves.
“We have to take each game as it comes, and we can only beat the opposition that are put in front of us. But if we keep winning we could be there or there abouts when it’s time to count the beans. But you don’t win the lottery without buying a ticket, and you can’t make an omlette without breaking a few eggs.”
We also managed to get in touch with Peter Peterson on his mobile for few words regarding his teams performance.
"Well at least we can now be cleared of any suspicion regarding the nandlarone scandel. No one can play that badly on performance enhancing drugs"
