Cows 0 Whites 2

The easter squirrel came early for the whites with a workman like victory yesterday. With slugger a late withdrawal due to coming off second best with a lawnmower, the remaining whites dug deep, took their limited opportunities and ground out a confidence lifting 2-0 victory.

A characteristically slow start saw the cows camped in the whites half for the first 20 minutes and winning 9 consecutive corners. Uncharacteristic solid defence kept the cows at bay, then on the first movement into the oppositions half SteveB chased a awkward through ball and blasted it past the keeper. That buggered them!

As the half went the sharp midfield passing the Whites are getting a reputation for got going and started to feed the front two. The linesmen was kept on their toes and made some dodgy offside calls against the whites. Just before halftime a pinpoint Andres corner found an unmarked SteveB head who converted from 2 metres. Maybe the Cows defence was distracted by AB and Keith asking about their demolition last week by the Massive because no-one marked up!

The second half started with the Cows blowing a good chance in the first 15 seconds, then the Whites defence giving a master class in blotting out the opposition. Doug and Mark were eased in after injury lay-offs by playing the whole 90. With Handball calling the shots in perfect English strine and big Al rock solid the Cows had no answer. Manny came off second best running into a 15 stone Cow and Steve Higson ran hard all day, even when asked to play right back.

So with the return of all the easter holidayers and hopefully some from injury next match it should be interesting to see how they go.
