Sorry it's late

Apologies to everyone for taking so long with the match report - I had a lot to type, and had also to delete some of the quotes from the home bench from the report.

 

Rob - I hope you have got a video of the third Tilbury penalty - an absolute classic.

I think the lad was going for 3 points!!!

The Match Report said:
There are good penalties – they are the ones that go in. And bad ones – these are the ones that go wide. And then there are classic penalties. And Paul Talbot’s comes into the latter category. Up he steps, and hits the ball as hard as he can. It screams over the bar, clears the 30 foot high netting behind the goal, clears the clubhouse, still rising, out into the fairground and into the darkness, still rising, before orbiting Tilbury and scaring the locals, many of whom reported UFOs in the area...

...As we leave the ground ten minutes later, a Tilbury official comes back carrying a ball – it’s the UFO, it seems to have ice on it, and a custom’s stamp.
