No no, you don't need to look twice...the above scoreline is correct. No, i said DON'T look twice...OK now you've looked three times just to make sure but I can confirm that after one season, ten games and an incredibly shocking goal difference the No Saints tonight picked up their famous first victory!
In the opening game of the newly formed League Four, we kicked off with just a 5 man squad due to injuries to Dave, Rich and Sean. After Stones took the lead, we hit back to equalise quickly but then fell to 2 goals in quick succession. Stones then got sloppy and we took advantage of their frailties at the back to produce silky passing and a goal mouth scramble of the highest calibre to bring the scores to 3-3.
No Saints pressed on and took the lead for the first time in the game before half time and then I popped up with a goal to make it 5-3. With 5 minutes to left, Stones grabbed a dramatic goal back and it was the longest last five minutes I've ever played in my life! Jamie's safe hands and a few near misses made it an incredibly tense final few minutes but the glorious sound of the referee's whistle meant that we'd done it!
After ten weeks of defeats, leaking goals and injuries we have done it! With the new league freshly started we can finally look at a league table with pride and long may it continue next week against the strangely named "Icy Retards"!
Up the No Saints!
