In the early morning hours, on the large expanse of St Wilfrid's ground, two ageing teams lacking subs competed not on brute strength nor pace, but a measure of footballing intelligence and clinical finishing. A casual observer would have commended both teams for their discipline to keep good shape, and more so to play an arsenaleques style of football, albeit with much less zip. For once, the notion that our matches were supposed to be friendly held true.
In the end, experience was vital. The older team played more compactly as a unit, dominated possession and produced the cutting edge on the two critical moments that determined the outcome of the match. Alex smashed a loose ball low and true, from the edge of the box after good build up play had caused havoc. In the second half, Elder Tang thumped an unstoppable header off younger Tang's corner. In between, KS Whites scored a good goal with a well-worked move. 2-1 to MarineSunday.
