GARNETT B TEAM REPORT
Saturday 30th November 2002 Philosophers 1 (0) vs.(3) 9 Garnett B

The mighty green and black came into this game expecting a tight game with Philosophers normally hard to beat. this wasn't the case as Garnett took full control and scored two early goals with Dave Rutherford heading in and Keith Jones Forcing the ball over from close range after crosses from the majestic Ford.
The referee seemed to feel sorry for the Philosophers as he refused to give a penalty as firstly Dan Ford was pole-axed and then Mike Deeble tripped with only a free kick on the edge for the latter of incidents, Marshall hitting the crossbar form the set piece. Garnett did earn a penalty when a defender handled in the box, Sam Marshall converting to make it 3-0. half time.

Any chance of a fight-back was quickly ended when Garnett scored two early goals, with Marshall and Kent scoring. Tom Sheehan felt sorry for the extremely cold and bored Ed Shaw and replaced him in net and promptly conceded a consolation, it did not matter much as goals from Marshall twice, Ford and a emphatic own goal which could have been credited to Ford if no one else was watching, as his shocking attempt at goal looped up and forced the defender to head against his own bar and a fellow Philosopher to blast it into the top corner from the rebound.
The game was becoming a bit of a farce and the players were happy to see it end and start the poorly attended night out(Christmas dinner in November has to be the worst excuse ever Mr Powers) at least Zammo turned up in the shape of Paul Rankin
