(Old Parks win 6 - 5 on penalties)

Old Boys Cup at Firs Farms

Conditions - Light Drizzle

Pitch - Mossy

Number of pegs per goal - 2

GT - Made crucial save in 1st half, flapped at their equalizer, saved 2 in shoot-out. Scored in Shoot-out. (Kieran Hatt was quoted afterwards - "GT, your pen was probably the best out of the whole lot")

The model (P.Evendan) - Argued with oppo, kicks it a long way, solid throughout. Missed in Shoot-out

Fruity - Stand in Captain and Team Leader, Good teamtalk - much better than Etchells

Colin Hopper - battled well despite felling "poorly", nearly bottled his pen. Scored in Shoot-out.

Twyford - solid if a little hesitant at times. Ate cheeseburger 25 minutes before kick off. Scored in Shoot-out.

Al Fas - nice fas pants, still hungover from Thursday, Scored in Shoot-out.

Dave Chudley - battled superbly in unfamiliar midfield role, was number 11 in shoot out

Hatt - energetic, pacy display, always a threat.

Kev - good celeb spotting, bit of a mullet

Mohammed Harley - great chip finish for second goal, unwilling runner, missed only 1 one-on-one. Scored in Shoot-out.

McKenzie - scored after great Cruyff turn in box, squandered 85 other gilt edge chances. Scored in Shoot-out.

Clash of the Day - Tywford vs their fat, balding, slow, rubbish forward - Ricky wins hands down although so could my 1 legged dead gerbil called Derek

Ref Watch - average, didn't seem to like Harley, didn't send of their keeper for handball outside the box because it was a bad bounce.

Ridiculous Tea-cosy hat of the day - Joint between Twyford and Evendan

Bottler of the day - Colin Hopper Northedge - only agreed to take a pen when Pat missed so he would not be the only scapegoat if he missed.

Match Rating - 3 - End to end stuff that neither team deserved to lose Extra-time rating - 1 - Was the worse 20 minutes of football ever seen by anyone ever

Nice trip to Old Suttonians in the next round.
