Port Fail F.C. 9 - 5 Olympus Moon

Port Fail's long awaited Championship fixture against Olympus Moon finally occurred yesterday (Thursday) and the excitement of the fans could be heard around the ground. Although, we were forced to play the fixture without 'keeper Dan Dix whos grazed knee looks to have kept him out for the remainder of the season.

The game was fairly evenly balanced but the clinical finishing of Fail and most notably striker Ross Legg whos four goals proved the difference between the sides. Ben Alfrey's simple finish into the corner of the goal after being sent through one-on-one by Legg was his first for the season. This was soon followed by a flourish from Legg, 2 quality strikes from midfielder Jack Hope and a thunderbolt from Cowley, who has now knocked up a goal in every fixture keeping him dead on form. This was capped off by an own goal, bad times for Moon.

The excitement of the surrounding fans was taken a step to far when security was breached as three fans ran on to the pitch, pick-pocketing Jonny Cowley of his phone in the process whilst play was taking place. Cowley was quick to scare the fans back into handing his phone back over who were then escorted from the ground and look to face a ban in the near future.
