Unfortunately, your faithful reporter hasn't had any time to do a proper match report, because of other commitments, including a house party to prepare for, and a Radiohead concert to go to. Oh, and lots of work too.. So, here follows a summary of the match as remembered:

First half was sloppy and disjointed, worst first half display this season. However, in at half time two goals to the good, thanks to two excellent breakaway goals with slick passing, shots by Moore, parries by the keeper and cool finishing by HESLOP and BRYDON respectively. A few scares at the other end, but all in all, Thorpe wasn't too worried at half time!

Garnett controlled the game in the second half, and it all turned ugly when first Heslop, and then Brydon were atrociously fouled by the uncouth Pamela right back. Something snapped in Brydon's mind, and he kneed the offender in the ribs before raining punches on the defender's head! Cue a 20-man exchange which was thankfully quashed quite quickly, not forgetting the injured (and drunk) Anderson who wandered on to the pitch in the faint hope of having a go himself! Tart on for Monaghan, for an impressive sub appearance, and Bell on for Heslop, who was hurt under the awful challenge. It must be mentioned that the ever alert Bell missed a sitter, then thought he had cost us a win and two points until an hour after the final whistle when Thorpe casually mentioned the score to someone else in the Mens bar! Apparently the art of counting is not required at some universities..

The jitters were restored when a lack of tracking back meant the gobby and very uncouth captain of Pamela, known only as FRASER, smashed a free ball home, the only decent touch he had all day. There were frantic moments in the final 10 minutes, and only 3 superb saves by Man of the Match Harty meant that Garnett walked away with a slightly lucky 3 points. As Thorpe commented, "Hmmm..."

Every team has their blip though, and this reporter is confident that Garnett, now fully rested after cup week off, will be back to their dazzling best!
