Hit the Bar Vs Ed's Dynamos
Unbeaten all season, top of the league, things were looking good for Hit The Bar. Imagine the shock of the waiting fans then, when only four players stepped off the team coach. With the treatment room still chock-a-block (G-Man, Turkish, Dec) a team of just five was expected. However, the 11th hour withdrawal of Nez, who decided to go off playing boy scouts with his mates, and who picks up the KENNETH WILLIAMS CARRY ON CAMPING award, left the team in a desperate situation. After a failed attempt to get in any ringers, a quick phone call to UEFA was needed to make sure it was ok to have Steve The Ref make his debut. In the event it was, and HTB took to the pitch against an Ed Dynamos squad that would have needed the Rain man to count them all at once. The game began ok but gradually Ed Dynamos managed to edge in front and had netted 4 without reply at half time. Things inevitably went from bad to worse for HTB - they soon visibly tired, and Ed Dynamos were making full use of all their subs. HTB eventually trudged off with a humiliating 12-3 defeat.
Squirrel - It was all he could do to try and keep his side in the game. Made some great stops but couldn't stop a dozen of them, largely thanks to an increasingly vacant defence. A valiant effort and SURERANDOMALITY STARMAN - 7
Dancing - Nothing special on show here, a few missed chances, a few good passes, the occasional tackle and a lot of huffing and puffing. Not one to write home about - 5
Ricky Organ - See above - 5
Steve The Ref - started well and tried his best to organise HTB but as the game went on he made more and more mistakes. An appreciated effort for a team that was not his own though - 6
Wes - At one stage it was looking like HTB weren't going to trouble the scorers but that was eventually put paid to by a good strike. A couple more excellent efforts followed but many a chance went begging as he hung onto the ball for far too long - 6
