Wind-sock win shock for firsts

For once, IC first footballers arrived on time, and with a full team. After UCL’s last pasting by us we expected them not to show, only to be disappointed when they turned up an hour late. Conditions left a lot to be desired with winds of at least one hundred km/h but IC played solidly in defence with some crunching fouls from Psycho. It was nil-nil at half time, when we were delighted to see our short strider/defender/keeper /boxer in the lovely red jacket, Tony. This put the fear of God into UCL, forcing them to score a superb own goal. This was followed by a shotgun right foot from Dave, making up for his earlier one-on-one cock-up with the notorious UCL keeper. In remarkable conditions (Dicks playing, Jules and Tony on the pitch at full time, Chris Parsons in one piece and flashbacks of the ‘87 storms). So, another win for the firsts - no thanks to Donal who was shit.
