Fourth team not perfect - shock

Despite winning, IC fourths cannot be happy with this performance which, to be honest, was dire (rear!) It was perhaps our worst performance of the season but at least three points were achieved to maintain our place at the top of our division. If we can play this badly yet still win, what will we achieve if we play well?

An own goal by Sion following poor play be ‘keeper Stu meant we went one down. A scramble in the QM box lead to another og but this time an equaliser for IC. Perhaps the turning point occurred when the QM striker missed an open net from five yards. This was unsportingly cheered by the ‘keeper to such an extent that the said striker totally lost his confidence for the rest of the game.

Pete scored from a well worked three-man move but yet again sloppy defending brought QM level. Just as time was running out David moved forward from defence and placed a twenty-five yard chip into the top corner to win the points for IC.

Despite the score, the game had been frankly poor from the team point of view. The defending was abysmal, the goalie was unwilling to claim any ball outside the six yard box, wasteful finishing from the strikers and worse from the midfield. Even in this mire of mediocrity, Sion managed to stand out with an own goal and a penalty blasted over the bar.

Let’s hope that it will be Winsday in BUSA.
