BELCHER BAGS BELTER!!

FINALLY! That's right, Nick has finally scored his first goal for Strikeitlucky, and what a way to do it! Well done mate!
Nick scored the sixth goal in a 6-4 win over Strike Force and effectively sealed the game.
It was a vital goal as well. Unknown to SIL, the later kick off between Gifted But Lazy and Botley Rice Rovers, would be won by the former, meaning that if SIL had lost, they would have finished bottom of the league. They didn't though, and fought very hard, and worked with the ethic that has become Strikeitlucky FC.
All in all, it was a great game. The scoreline altered regularly, 0-1, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 4-3, 4-4, 5-4, then in the closing moments, Nick slotted a curling effort passed the despairing dive from the chimp in goal and it nestled in to the corner. The opponents didn't know what was going on as Nick was mobbed!
Luke continued his goal scoring run with another well placed finish, Matt racked up 4 (some would say 3 and a deflected goal but I'm having it!) and Craig, Tony and Gary worked very hard to stop anything getting through. Mark made a couple of go-go gadget saves with his legs and they were as vital as the decisive tackles from the defence, and the goals up front.

There seemed to be a bit more belief this week and yet again, it was very hard to pick a man of the match as everyone played really well. However there was only really going to be one - Nick.
It's taken a year and a half, but it was well worth it!

So, season over. Next season we look like we'll 'welcoming' the dicks that are AC Abingdon, and Wenn Townsend FC, whoever they are! As long as no new decent teams start in our league, we will have a really good chance to win it next season. Bring it on!!
