Pre-Match

Dave Atkinson
Relegated from the division above us, Beez Knees are a good side, although rumour has it they're a bit weaker this season. We cannot rely on that, though. When Martin and I played for Corkers against them, Beez Knees always won and scored a lot of goals. However, part of that was psychological in that Corkers seemed to have a mental block against Beez Knees, and always expected to lose. I think we can beat them, and every other team in this league, if we go in with the right attitude and have our best players available. We're a lot stronger as a squad this season, although we do have a couple of new players who have yet to experience this league.

Post-Match

Dave Atkinson
A good result against a team relegated from the division above us, and particularly good for us to score more than the one goal. I was disappointed to let the two goals in after keeping a clean sheet for most of the game, but had made several good saves before finally conceding. What did for us towards the end was fatigue, as we only had the one substitute tonight, and they had the maximum two.

Good debuts for The Original Neil, Neil The Neighbour (Choccy from now on) and Baz, although I am sure that all will agree that the actual competitive 25 minute games are different to our close season friendlies.

Still, a good start to the season - roll on Graham Raiders next Monday at 20:00 !!
