On Halloween at Weybourne Road
The Marketmen arrived,
And from tricks and tasty treats
The home fans weren't deprived!
Early on a box scramble
Was dealt with by big "Spike,"
Who made three saves; Clean Sheet Thieves
He told, "Get on your bike!"
Shannocks knocked the ball around
Class football - pass and move,
Which has (for quite a while now)
Been Super Shezza's groove!
And, prowling outside the box
Where oft' he likes to roam,
Was Crozza! His Splash End strike
At Concorde speed flew home!
Come the half hour mark a spill
From Needham's keeper let
Poacher Boyce score once again...
His "worldie" burst the net!
On half-time King Abbo's feet
Would do a magic dance,
And he curled a beauty, that
Onto the bar would glance!
A top save by their keeper,
2-0 Reds at the break,
Well deserved; last week's nightmare
Off we would quickly shake!
In the second, much the same,
The silky passing caused
Lots of lips to wobble as
The beauty was not paused!
The third came through Barca-like
Tippy-tappy play;
Abbo fed in Boyce who sent
Their keeper on his way!
With composure - Messi-esque
He then placed home with guile;
"Boyce Gets Goals" - that motto has
A pretty classy style!
Sadly, with just ten to go
Tim Cary was shown red;
It seemed harsh and came about
Through words the lino said.
Minutes later Needham were
Awarded a spot kick,
Which Spike - down to his left - pushed
Away, nippy and slick!
But the lino (who was booed)
In fun would then assign,
The pen to be re-taken
As he was off his line!
Up it chipped - conversion-like
And that was all she wrote;
Weybourne Road (our fortress) has
Now built a deeper moat
For it's three wins on the spin,
Next up: Mulbarton's turn.
And then - sadly, for a while
Our football shall adjourn.
Also:
Can I say "well done" to our
Neighbours just down the road,
Who best Crawley Green 2-1
In their Vase episode!
