IC football in not crap shock

Yet again the conditions were against IC, playing away to league leaders LSE in the usual windy conditions. The weather made it difficult to slip into the slick passing style that we have so successfully copied from the second team.

The first half was tending to a draw until five minutes from half time our smooth-talking and inspirational captain Donal passed to "Pretty boy" Alex who successfully took on the keeper, dancing around the stranded goalie and making the score one-nil to IC, a due reward for our domination, sturdy play and sheer good looks.

The second half commenced in a fiery fashion with Chris "Psycho" Solberg regaining form and sending an LSE player to hospital with torn ligaments - although when the ambulance turned up Chris ran off as they thought the men in white coats had come for him.

Following this incident a pass from our Nordic Nightmare Germund resulted in a second goal for Spanish Superstar Alex. LSE heads dropped and our professionalism set in as we defended like Italy.

This was one of our better performances with particular mention to the mighty Robo (for midfield strength), Jamie (who learned from his mistakes) and Alex (who had pretty hair). A good performance and with a few more like this the league should be ours. We have now beaten every team in our league and have won 5-2 and 6-2 when fielding our three first-choice strikers Alex, Amo and Ike. Our title challenge is in the balance with the league leaders needing to drop points if we are to triumph and bring the league title to where it belongs.
