Summer 2010 season (Game 6) - Conspiracy

Conspiracy went into this game riding high in the league - with 3 victories and 1 draw from their first 5 games. Things were not looking good for us, especially as we were awaiting the arrival of our goalkeeper and player manager. As 3 o'clock approached, both of our goalkeeping options had still not arrived, so top scorer Craig volunteered to go in goal. It also meant that we only started with 4 players, but luckily, only 4 players had turned up for Conspiracy too.

The game kicked off and we were playing well. Conspiracy, though, scored with their first shot. Finally, Lee and Adam arrive for the bullets, but players arrived for Conspiracy too, meaning that both teams were at full strength. It didn't take long for Craig, now playing outfield, to equalise. He went on to complete his second hat-trick of the season. Conspiracy scored another, so at 3-2 to us, the game is still up for grabs.

Jay gets fouled, but the referee lets play go on and the ball kindly rolls to James, who hits a first time shot into the bottom right corner. It's 4-2! Conspiracy pull another goal back at the end, but we hold on to our first victory of the season.
