Southside 4, Effra Academicals 6

Ermm.... usual stuff.  2 mins to kick off, not enough players. Trying to borrow players from the oppo.
Start with 2 injured players and no subs. 1-0 down after 2 mins. Equalise a minute later. Lots of effort but not much composure for the first 45 mins. Lucky to go into the break only 3-1 down.
Second half much better. We tried to take the game to Effra but caught on the break by their very quick front line. With 10 mins to go we were were losing 6-2. Could have been even worse but we didn't give up. A free kick from Reece made it 6-3 and a clinical strike from Scott (his third of the night) spread panic in the Effra ranks. At 6-4 Effra were out for the count but were saved by the final whistle.
 We're nearly a really good team  but 5 defeats in our last 6 games tell us that we're not there yet.
We're still in the cup so lets make sure that we get a result against Racing Ewell on Dec 12th to take us into the quarter finals.

Last night's team:
Geoff, Peter, Little James, Phil, Danny,Big Paul, Nik, Reece, Dane,
Scott, Glenn, Big Mark D,  Big Mark B, Yusuf.
