A keeper who had signed up to play identified that he was there to test himself against the club's strikers. VIIGeorgeVII took the challenge and signed up. Less understanding players said he was back because he had just worked out that his team are not in the Champions League and actually play on Thursdays. Anyway, rising like a phoenix, VIIGeorgeVII came to the fixture to teach keepers a lesson on behalf of all of the great players who just cannot seem to make it to games. Playing uncharacteristically higher up the pitch the pitch and already in the keeper's head he smashed home the first goal of the match.

Nobody likes a keeper with too much to say for himself. But keepers know they have to see how top players perform under pressure. At our level the outfield player under scrutiny is sometimes allowed a goal to settle their nerves. We call that their 'gimmee'.

By the time Eddie117, ellislewis123 and Naz had also inexplicably collected their 'gimmees' the White Bibs were 4 - 0 ahead and coasting. Then we heard it. Coach Hagenius was on the ball and a voice shouted from the neighbouring cadets' parade ground "You've got this!" and suddenly everyone knew we had fans. For the first time in our recorded history we had actual fans! Not lone spectators but honest to goodness fans who would shout and whoop and exhort players to be their best selves.

One fan even shouted to Sadulla to "go wide". That is like shouting to De Bruyne "cross it". Such is the beauty of fans, they all know what they want you to do and if you do that then you will win all matches you play in.

Naz and Eddie117 combined to score a slick passing goal that had the fans crying out in delight.

Blue Bibs 0 - 5 White Bibs

Clearly loving the adulation Eddie117 and Naz would try a similar crowd pleasing type of move in their next attack but the Blue Bibs were wise to it. The fans however shrieked their appreciation for the exotic football they were being served up.

Minutes later 23:15 on the clock fans shout "You got this, you got this ..." as White Bibs broke three against no one. Quizzes in the future will ask the question whose name was first picked up from the lips of a fan. The answer will be 'Ellis' as a fan shouted out his name in despair when Leon94 rushed back to break the move down.

When Coach Hagenius scored the first for the Blue Bibs the neutrals screamed for the Blue Bibs. Whilst they seemingly love a trier it seems that goals are every fan's main motivator.

Cheers switched again when VIIGeorgeVII continued his campaign to silence keepers and anyone who stepped out of line during his reign.

Blue Bibs 1 - 6 White Bibs

The fans would motivate the players to put in an incredible ding dong that saw the Blue Bibs eventually get to within two goals of the White Bibs before finally succumbing to the better marshalled free flowing play of the Whites.

Match ball again shared between Leon94 and Naz, who scored five goals each, with Naz again tying the match ball with the last kick of the game. Ellislewis123 awarded the Man of the Match to Naz. A significant amount of the match was controlled by Eddie117 and Naz, so it was always going to be a toss up as to which of them would get the award.

VIIGeorgeVII finished the night with another victory for his lads and a brace of goals for himself after initially being unlikely to play. That is why our motto is Dare to Dream.

Things to Note

We think the cheering fans might have been air cadets. We don't know for sure but one thing we do know is players sure put in a shift when the cheers started. If we do go on to be anything big as a club then our fans could be called the Air Cadets and luckily for us our logo is a player with arms outstretched like the wings of a plane. History seems to be writing itself. Actually I could have written that 'history seems to be righting itself' but that is too Back to the Future even for us.

Let's do it all again next match at Tottenham Wednesday FC .
