Old Hooky 0 City Vets 1

[Holdy]

The Vets made it through to the final of the Vets County Cup last night with a 1-0 away win at Old Hooky in the semi-final, and at the same time keeping up their 100% winning run for the season going.
The only goal of the game came from skipper Julian Dark, who finished clinnically from all of 1 yard.

The final will be at Carterton on April 6th, and will be against our old friends and rivals Kidlington or OCC.

Team: Carl Fisher, Antony Hill, Steve Foote, Robert Tutton, Julian Dark, Gary Murphy, Barry Primmer, Justin Lee, Mark Orlando, Shaun Pearce, Paul Spittle. Subs: Simon Pagano, Dave Southam, Stewart Parsons, Wayne Holden (not used), Paul Creed (not used).

It's a shame the goal wasn't videod as it would be popular on YouTube gaffes!

You know how when a shot goes close to the keepers' bar and the keeper jumps up to make sure it goes over and invariably catches hold of the bar and hangs like a monkey?

The keeper did it last night but the ball hit the bar and span back into play about a foot from the goal line and he's hanging there whilst I scored!

Quite funny really...

Great win for City first team last night made even more special by some of the Vets boys rolling back the years. To be honest it looked like they had never been away and maintains our unbeaten start to the season (According to Holdy our legend player/manager anyway).

Wanted to say thank you to Fordy for putting his faith in the old boys and to give us plenty of notice if we're needed for the semi final as the warm up nearly done us in last night!!

On another note I am currently training for the Reading half marathon (not that you would of guessed last night I hear you say) so am looking to get the City faithful, players etc behind this good cause for a bit of sponsorship. Details on www.justgiving.com/Paul-Kimber

Good luck in the semi and looking forward to the easy pace of the next vets game.
