Striker short of a full squad

With paintball the day before, the Colts were nursing several injured players. When those that did make it to the match finally gave way to fatigue, the Bees allowed us to use some of their players to bolster numbers.

Ultimately, this was a mismatch but in the true spirit of grass roots football, the match went on and Play Stations and X Boxes went unused for at least a couple of hours.

We owe Bees our thanks for their sportsmanship and wish them well in the league. I also owe my thanks to those that did play the whole game despite overwhelming odds and tired limbs.

To add to our woes, even the ref failed to turn up.
