I know you're itching to find out how the TopSkips boys got on last night so i'll hand you over to our in-house sports journo Matt Wilkinson for a full match report...
After weathering an early storm which saw the skip hire side go 2-0 down, two magnificent individual goals brought the team level and set the tone for the remainder of the game. Any danger of defeat soon fizzled out due to a tiring opponent and crafty use of the numbers game.
Thanks to regular substitutions and excellent passing, goals were quick and plentyful. Two each from Steven Long and Matthew Wilkinson, a stunning 8 yard drive from Mike Lahiri and a tidy finish from Dave Roberts saw TopSkips round off an impressive 8-7 victory and climb the league table.
"I just swung my leg and Bob’s your Uncle"
After the win we caught up with Mike Lahiri and asked about his wonder strike; “I just tried to kick it as hard as I could, I wasn’t really aiming for anything, I just swung my leg and Bob’s your Uncle. I hadn’t really realised it had gone in until Dan came up and hugged me".
Such friendship and modesty that's seldom seen in the modern game. With two wins in two for the TopSkips side and a joint 3rd position in the league, it's a great time to be one of the tens of faithful supporters. Lets hope the boys can make it three in next weeks game against the 'Orange Pencils'!
