Build up to Tuesday – Bricklayers

The opposition might be good at building walls but they’ll have their work cut out to knock our defensive brick wall down. So let’s cement our challenge for promotion and build on our excellent foundations and lay….. ah crap, I lost it. PLAY UP TURKS!!!

Any injuries or absences or absesses or obsessions or addictions or convictions?

Match Report: Turks Head – Whitworth Valley (W E Kay Trophy)

Goodwin Reporting….
First, a [crap] poem from my memory:

“No-one can tell me, nobody knows,
where the wind comes from, where the wind blows.
But if I stop holding the strings of my kite,
it would blow with the wind for a day and a night.
And then when I found it wherever it blew,
I would know that the wind had been going there too.
So then I can tell them where the wind blows,
but where the wind comes from, nobody know”

Under some very blustery conditions the Turks eventually cruised to a 4-2 victory against Whitworth Valley. The chaps on the touchline were on top form with the banter to make up for the absence of the Dale FC bunch.

Dolly P kept us all fed. Andy Nuttall had TWO butties so it was no surprise that he was desparate to go home for a poo by half time. MJ treated himself to a butty before the game.

OK I don’t do conventional match reports so here are some highlights that I remember:

Stunning goal by Easty, airshot by Easty, Woody hobbled off, Sparky scored a poacher’s goal, Ref had a dodgy tash, AJ booked for dissent, Sedge pulling some good saves out, Lyons didn’t start any fights, Manion blocked a goal-bound effort by Si, Sparky scored a penny, their 2nd goal was very nice, AJ getting called “Shaggy” by opposite team, Their right-back getting kicked in the face twice in 2 minutes and having a family potrait booked for this afternoon, Hardesty falling over whilst fagging a ball, very entertaining game on the next pitch, good news about a possible playoff scenario.

Team: Seymour, M. Jones, Mannion, A. Jones, Hall, Lyons, Wood, Almond (Lang-Whiston), Orchard (Ormrod), Eastwood, Perks (Emmott).

Subs: Hulme, Curran

Goals: Eastwood, Orchard, Perks (2)

Match Report: Turks Head – Copperpot Res. (League)

Despite goals from Sparky and Lamby, Copperpot Res. managed to edge a tight game that I think even the most passionate fan would be able to describe as a football match.

Credit to Copperpot for grinding out the win, and credit to our lads too for a decent effort.

Still plenty to play for this season though, with the quarter final of the W E Kay Trophy coming up this Sunday, and then three more league games which could still see us clinch promotion if we manage to improve our goal difference by twenty. Bearing in mind we beat Whitworth Valley 8-1, having been 1-0 down at half-time, I think we all know we’re more than capable of doing this.

Team: Seymour, M. Jones, Mannion, A. Jones, Hall, Wood, Almond, Nuttall, Lyons, Eastwood, Perks

At the request of the league, please do not comment on anything that happened off the pitch. Just talk about the football. An enquiry is likely so we are being asked to let that issue be resolved through the proper channels.
