Men’s B v Nomads C
Back in December Men’s B turned up at Sophia Gardens to play Nomads C aware that it was going to be a tough night.
It was. Then it wasn’t…
Nathan managed to turn out despite becoming a new dad about ten minutes before the game so a great big well done is due… to Nathan’s Wife for coping so soon after the big event! The team’s only national player Rob John was not able to make it but his mighty shoes were filled by the experience and cunning of Allan Evans (thanks Al).
The match was hard fought. Glyn and Nige’ struggled badly with the first pair but subdued the 2nd and 3rds without too much worry. Nathan and Byron seemed to be missing their usual zip and also dropped 1 against the firsts, sleep deprivation playing a part, no doubt. No more late nights for you Byron…
Allan and Mat gave it their all (as usual) but just couldn’t bring that all important win in. So the final score was 5-4? But it’s not over ‘till it’s over and subsequent revelations by the home team revealed that an ineligible player had taken part and therefore Vale get to roll in the comfort blanket that is ‘default win’. Hmmm toasty.
