Romeos, Romeos, wherefore art thou Romeos?
Although the fourth’s unbeaten run had seemed to last as long as the Hundred Years War it was inevitable that it would end. Halley’s comet may only come round every eighty-one years but we shall return to conquer again as soon as Saturday in our next league match.
On the day after Valentine’s day the cards were on the table for IC even before the kick-off. Missing six first team regulars and playing against fellow promotion contenders we were always going to struggle. After taking an early lead through Lee, making his senior debut, IC were forced to weather a barrage of pressure. Queen Mary’s twice hit the woodwork in the same attack before their equaliser, then the controversial winner was scored. With the referee’s line of sight blocked the striker used his arm to control a bouncing ball and drilled it past the ‘keeper.
In the second half we huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow the Mary’s defence down. Thanks to new boys Andy, Andy, Ivan, John and Lee
