Playing de Blues


The low numbers of United men who turned up at Huapai today didn't affect the great game of football that transpired, thanks to some red supporters from Norwest, we went ahead and played anyway as is our style and had a most enjoyable game. The Manchester Utd Reds played with determination, grit and style, esp the backline who held the raging attack of Uri, Willy and their dynamite centre forward Steve to only 2 goals in the first half, with Wesley scoring a cracker for us. Into the second half and the blue men took it to us with four good goals and only a consolation goal for us scored by a ringa. That wasn't the full story though as Wesley, Iain and Gareth all broke thru the blue defence a number of times but couldn't finish it off. The play of the Reds was truely inspiring and the goals the blues did score were only from simple mistakes on our part, tiredness and a raging blue attack. Still, they are unbeaten this season and even beat Brownsons last week, so the fact we made them work so hard was a good sign for us.
