courtesy of MarkA. Many thanks Mark.

We welcomed Terril, as a guest, to his first match with Tottenham Wednesday. Terril lit up the fixture with five goals, instantly putting himself into the group of players who scored multiple goals on their debut.

We welcomed the long standing player formerly known as Guest Darius to his first match as a full member of the club. He is now to be known as DariusAlexandru. He scored 62.5% of his team's goals (in plain English he scored five goals).

As can be seen in the match video it was a hard fought match. An important thing to note is that the title of Goal Machine 2019 was to be decided at this match. There were enough players for five-a-side, this meant that there were fixed goalkeepers, so anyone wishing to take the crown would have to score past a keeper.

The final score was Orange Bibs 8 - 13 Yellow Bibs

Match awarded to the Yellow Bibs.

Things To Note

A new team has joined the evening and they come on immediately after us, so we are back to ending our matches on the stroke of 9pm.

Goal Machine Matters

Goal Machines are difficult to defend against, they display no pity or remorse for oppositions, they simply score. MarkA was the club's Goal Machine in 2018. Throughout 2017 the title of Goal Machine was jointly held by Avvon and JonF Previous holders have been such legends as Adrian, AlMaher and JakeFlowers. A Goal Machine is a player who week in week out can receive the ball and leather it into the net with the absolute minimum of effort. Feed the machine and he will score. Our own version of Harry Kane.

We barely played in December 2018 so the decision was extended until January 30th.Towards the end of 2018 a leading contender for Goal Machine was ngill, then he stopped coming. We entered January 2019 -

First week virtually everyone who played was in contention for the title.
Second week - Austin and dA.Niesta edged ahead by spearheading a team that punished andyhibbert, Avvon, dabiyani1995, JakeFlowers, JonF and MarkA.
Week 3 - dA.Niesta stopped coming. Andyhibbert and JonF drew back into contention by beating Austin and dabiyani1995's team. All the while the injured MarkA continued quietly scoring.
Week 4 - Andyhibbert stopped coming. JonF and Jake kept on scoring. Meaning we went into the final week with four main title contenders being Andyhibbert, Austin, JakeFlowers and JonF. If these four failed then it was possible for them to be pipped by MarkA.
Week 5 No Andyhibbert. No JakeFlowers. A straight shootout between Austin and JonF, both on opposing sides, with MarkA lurking in the wings to retain his title if they failed to impress. To quote former Tottenham great Chris Waddle 'A striker must be capable of putting the ball in the net'.

The still injured MarkA scored a hat-trick. JonF unfortunately did not take his chances and Austin scored five goals. As such the player who will wear the crown of Goal Machine throughout 2019 is Austin.

To see how a Goal Machine always seems to have time and pulls defenders on a string view the goal at 41:40 of the match video.
