As the first half of the season draws to an end, and with Christmas nearly upon us, the mens 1's put in the sort of performance that screamed out that the side were already dreaming of a white christmas, rather than bagging the three points. For short bursts we showed promise, however long periods of lethargy meant we could never get any significant momentum going against a Barnes side who simply looked more up for it that we did.
After a poor goalless first half, the second half started better and we managed a great goal courtesy of Diva Hans (assist Seb), however we soon sunk back to struggling to maintain posession, and gave away an equaliser with 5 minutes to play.
Match highlights include:
- Coops MOM for great showing in defence
- Strong debut from Ben Gibson (initiation song to come at Christmas dinner, with Harry, Jamie Weston and Gunny)
- Matt Laidman owning the midfield
- Higgo on the receiving end of an outrageous DOD vote
- Harry and Gunny getting their customary yellow cards
