THE BOOT CLIP THE LADIES WINGS 

BOOT & SHOE 6    FLYING LADY 2

A stunning performance by the Boot & Shoe on a day heavily affected by 
weather conditions (blowing a gale) and the usual bumpy pitch at Brine 
Leas. A back to basics Boot team battled hard against the wind first 
half and secured a 1 - 1 scoreline at half time. It was then time to turn 
it on and four goals were rattled in to make it 5 - 1 for the Boot. The 
referee got it wrong for Flying Lady's second goal. Their player kicked 
Mr reliable Graham Harrison and by some means conned the referee into 
giving them a penalty. They scored but the Boot put the game beyond all 
doubt with a late goal to make the score 6 - 2. Excellent performances 
from all 14 players who took part (three substitutes used) but this was 
undoubtedly a 'Team Performance' in which the Boot chose to play 'top 
drawer' football. The pass and move technique provided a Hat Trick for 
Mark Charlesworth (Charlie) which included a candidate for goal of the 
season. This was a slick four pass move without the Flying Lady players 
getting a touch. Charlie slid in the final pass at the far post. Indeed 
glorious football!! Chris Lines (Lino) chipped in with a brace of goals 
and had chances to get his own Hat Trick. Matthew Scanlan (Wag) scored 
the other with a clinical finish, shooting in at the near post when one 
on one with the keeper. A great Quarter-Final victory and bring on 
Bentley in the Semi-Final in two weeks time. ALL SUPPORT IS WELCOMED!

Turning point - Nicky's arrival at half time.

Line of the day from Clive Heathcock (Cocker) - Charlie can have the 
match ball for his Hat Trick as long as he pays for it.
