York U16’s Tales From The Touch Line
The adventures of two boats
Bobs lost the plot a wet pitch has nothing to do with Boats.
The first player to get a name check in this, the first dispatch of the
U16 boys 08/09 season is, Tom, Tom Moss for three clean sheets late into
the third and final game Tom pulled off a wonderful save, great concentration.
Moss the Boss.
Quickly followed by the `lone ranger` Tom Granger who’s performance’s
across all three matches came from the top draw, the pant draw, time after
time Tom tackled with excellent timing strength and bottle, his distribution
matched his tackling. A Rolex of a performance from the makeshift defence.
(do you get that Time after Time, Timing, Rolex, - stay with us, please
keep up…. Mr Green )
This was the first competitive outing of the all new York
U16 boys squad, the side gelled very quickly and played some brilliant
hockey playing the first match against reining champions Dandruff and
after settling down to a glossy performance getting healthy roots to the
day with a 2-0 win which then saw us beating Briadford the same result
and Highlights 4-0, head and shoulders above any other team, a most pleasing
result as the Halifax coach rejected all U15 York boys from Yorkshire
(do you get it Dandruff, Head And Shoulders, glossy, healthy routes, if
only the Halifax coach was bald we’d have a punchline.)
Ollie scored two stunning goals and was our highest scorer for the best
part of twenty minutes until game three when Josh woke up and his shredded
wheat began to work bagging his first hat trick with the last strike of
the match
I’d like to personally thank Elaine for the sausage sandwich, not quite
a bacon sandwich (always room for improvement) but it was a rather nice
sausage. Thanks. Despite Matt’s high tech magnetic mini foldaway’able
hockey pitch in executive briefcase style gadget (on loan from Newcastle
FC Who are currently piloting a new approach – the absolutely clueless
approach) and his clear instructions of who is playing where, Lewis your
playing left half, which means your playing on the left half way up. Lewis’s
dad then inquired of Lewis where are you playing son, the response “what,
me, … I don’t know, I think I might be on the left” He then went on to
inquire about his gum shield Lewis’s initial reply “left hand pocket half
way up”
Now that laugh, I knew I had heard it somewhere could it have been the
streets of Dublin,
Michael Green was back on the scene,
with tales of two boats, vessel 1 “egg on face”crewed by the laidback
chases and vessel 2 “just one more” the Green speed machine, Lewis’s asked,
which boat am I on - That’ll be the left,
In the absence of Bernard one can only ponder what positive encouragement
would have come from Mr Chase, as York take three good wins towards the
title race,
“ come on lads you’ve looked better”
