Some elf-y competition for the Ladies' 2s
Author: Claire Bowler
It started on a day which was drizzly and dark
But our smiles were merry as we pulled up to park
‘Cos for us, nothing is better than a Saturday with our team
After a week WFH, it was time to blow off some steam
Whilst last time we played with Kenley SP
It wasn’t too hard to score a goal (or 3)
We heard before the start that this time would be tricky
They had a stronger team (so we couldn’t take the Micky)
We went out strong and stayed in their 25 yard
But they raised their game and it started to get hard
Although the weather held, we had to hold stronger
And the defence hoped half time wouldn’t be much longer
We regrouped with 35 minutes to go
(A quick team talk and handfuls of Haribo)
We went in tougher (but with Christmas in our hearts)
We all were full of beans (though thankfully not farts)
It can’t be said we didn’t give it our all
As Lex took a hit and Bernie had a fall
Every moment we could, we attacked with Accies power
But we just couldn’t score, in just over an hour
Shorts were awarded, the spectators weren’t bored
But boy could we not get that ball to the backboard
So a nil-nil draw to end this unprecedented year
But we drew with our usual L2s good cheer
Nothing a pint or a cider couldn’t sort out
(Whilst we’re still allowed out and about)
So whether it’s tier 2 or division 8
We’ll usually find something to celebrate
And to top off this excellent match report
(Much better than James’, I’ve got to retort)
Who did well and who was laughed off the pitch?
We’ll starts with the highs and end with the b*tch
Queen Cami, our goalie, who saved balls on the line
B*tches Anna and Lex for not watching the time
It’s got to be said though, the L2s are pretty great
And we’ll be smashing it next year - 2021? It’s a date!
Despite the draw we put up an excellent fight
So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
