Farnborough Town Res 7 - 0 St. Albans City Res  - 26/09/01 - Match Report By Awayday

 To the AIMITA (Attitude Is More Important Than Ability) Stadium in

Farnborough for this Capital League game. Conference side Farnborough were training beforehand and  greetings came from former City favourites, The Pipers and there was certainly some talent on display.

The team sheet for the game was interesting. Graham Westley's side was Bonfield, Ayres, Dublin, Bunce, Danny Jones, Bennetts, Potter, Darlington, Taggart, Crawshaw and Baptiste, only one of whom played in the Conference fixture last Saturday, but most of whom were regulars in last season's Ryman League Championship winning side, with 5 subs.

For The Saints, Ansell and Cook were on the team sheet but not in the ground and only 10 men could take the field leaving an empty visitors dug-out. The side was Tom Lewis (Verulam School and O.A.R.F.C.), Danny Honeyball, Steve Blaney and Paul Ferguson (S.A.C.F.C.), Lee Burns and Durgum Duick (triallists), James Brewer, Nick Crowther and Greg Hester (Saints Supporters F.C.) and Andy Thomas, the Team Manager. The crowd was some 30 or so Farnborough fans and their squad, and supporting the visitors, Eamsie (not so fresh from the Martin Tribunal in Birmingham), the two Vickies, Jim Brewer and Peter Lewis.

We held them for 8 minutes. Farnborough scored 7 goals, 5 of which were very good and 2 as a result of defensive errors, but every Saints player did his best, particularly in defence where Danny Honeyball, in particular, worked his socks off. City earned 1 corner and forced 1 'photographic' save by Bonfield from a Blaney thunderbolt. H.T. 7-0.

The match was abandoned at half-time for reasons which will, no doubt, be announced in due course.

There may have been £50/60,000 of talent, with aggregate weekly wages well in excess of the Clarence Park playing budget on display for Farnborough but, for me, the 10 men who represented St Albans City F.C. tonight were worth a million dollars. Anyone who thinks it's funny can have a quiet word with me any time they like.

 

 

One of Awaydays better efforts I thought...

Looking at the team sheet from the night, De Souza wasn't even playing. Bit strange. Who did score all Farnborough's goals then?

I wouldn't rule out WHU causing an upset, and possibly Crystal Palace too.

WHU wouldn't be an upset...remember DiCanio vs Barthez 2 years ago? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
My boy (scumchester 'supporter') has been warned that his dad's Hammers are gonna do them again..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

.....at which point he reeled off some other famous scorelines between the two teams..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

And if you think Ipsh##e will beat the Red and White Wizzards you are sadly mistaken. Unbeaten in all competions since 2 November, 1 goal conceeded in 1080 minutes of league football, fortress Bramall Lane. Just watch us lose four times on tv in the next 14 days.
