Players Ratings
EXILES
Potts 7/10 Tireless amounts of hard graft put in. He did all his own work plus that of Bez and Tan. Started bleeding internally when he got near our goal though. His slow conversion from rugby to football is a long process but one that is steadily reaping benefits.
Bez 5/10> He's fleshed out since the days when he was just a pair of shoulders. Tied by a chain to our goal, just long enough for him to skirt around the edge, picking up lost balls. Made to look good with a couple of goals by McPartland, but neverthe less he took them well.
Hanson 5/10> Let his team down badly. The award for the most deterioted player since
Carnatic Green goes to Hanson, just pipping McPartland. Where has all the aggression gone. Has he finally accepted that he won't make the England squad? Some glimpses of the old Al, but not enough to drag his team up to the level of Langdale.
Tan 4/10 Couldn't get a score of more than 5 anyway as he missed half the game. Spent more time laid prone on the floor after slipping over and then claiming injury. Did he wax his grips before the game? Lost a yard of pace since university and since he only had a yard and half of pace to begin with, you could tell.
O'Connor 6/10 Ran round like a ball of flammable testosterone gas. Combining petchulant kicks and shoulder barges with some neat passes. Still runs with the ball and turns like he has a cactus up his bottom.
LANGDALERS
McPartland 4/10 The pressure of organising the game and gettin the players there on time took its toll on him. Passes went astray, tackles were missed, but still showed he has the passion for a fight with needled exchanges with O'Connor.Played his part in many langdale goals by staying well out of the way.
Jackson 7/10 He was as hooked on the white line of the opposition box as much as he was all those years ago. This reformed drug addict played some neat stuff and scored the winning goal. Runs like a stick insect on hot coals.
Clinton 6/10 Hard to decipher Clinton's performance. Some good stuff, some ridiculous stuff. Greedier with the ball than he makes out to be. Helped slow the game down when he kicked the ball on to the motorway.
O'Malley 6/10 Some games are played over two legs, with John that's impossible. His Left leg still possesses vast array of skills, as long as it is wound up sufficiently before the game starts, and just before whenever O' Malley gets the ball. Right leg however, not even good enough for standing on. Middle Leg? Offers support to his left leg when his right leg goes missing.
LYALL 8/10Most improved player since University, infact along with Pottsy Lyall was the only other player to actually improve at all over time. Lyall, another convert from egg chasing to football was everywhere, breaking up attacks and starting his own. If only Krowt, Jim's old friend and competitor was there to see it. Jim's turn around from University was> capped with the presence of an Aussie beauty hanging off his arm. Gemma and the chocolate box, just about forgotten about.
Man ofthe match: Lyall, Well done lad
