A Battling Victory

YHFC's crunch league match against Jetscreen took place last evening at a hot and humid Clifton Moor. It wasn't just the temperature that was hot either. A victory for the Jambo's would consolidate their league position and the whole team were fired up for the match. After an acrimonious affair when the teams last met, this one was expected to be similar, however, it was not quite the case. Having been chastised by the League over their behaviour, a new, calmer Jetscreen took the field and behaved in a sporting manner throughout.

An exciting evening's football ensued and as it turned out YHFC were victorious in a 7 goal thriller. The 4th win of the league campaign saw the Blackjacks playing some wonderful high tempo football and with their customary battling spirit, this proved just enough to edge a 4-3 victory. Goals from Ibby, Barclay, Outing and Stampie were enough to secure the victory.

3 games remain in the season and safety all but secured. A resounding result!

Man of the Match: Dall

I'm not sure about this but could this have been his first ever goal? Kermit - would you care to give us the stats on this please?

In his defence, he scored one in the Walwyn tourney last year. Though that's a Mickey Mouse tournament...

Stevie scored against Yorkshite Terriers in the final game of the ibiza challenge tourney and in the final group game of the KW Tourney. Only Ninja, Cal, Tommy and Badger who haven't scored (I beleive, tho i'm at work and aven't got the stats to hand...)
POTY (Play football league games) is a FIVE-way tie at the mo, with 2 goals seperating the top four in the golden boot catergory - but i'm keeping it quiet to keep competition alive....
