Happy Days - Here Again!

Aaaaaaaa-gaaaaaaaaaa-doo-doo-doo, push pineappple shake the tree...

Last weekend's double header provided a deluge of goals for Melchester, as almost every one of Racey's men made their mark on the scoresheet.

Friday saw Rovers take on bottom placed FCWC, and with victory almost a certainty, attention turned to Melchester's only remaining non-scorers, Messrs Holland and Mestanek. A long-standing bet between the pair meant that whoever scored first (and therefore, not last), would win ten beers from the other, and so both players were chomping at the bit to hit the (for them) uncharted territory of an opposition penalty box.

Cyrillo started the scoring after just two minutes and a steady stream of goals followed, but apart from Holland being teabagged by a 15 year old and then having a goal disallowed for bullying, at half time neither defender seemed likely to end up in the drink. But just two minutes into the second half, Holland ran onto a throw-in which he blasted home with aplomb to an ecstatic reception from a boisterous Srbska crowd.

Holland's goal and celebration owed a lot to another Paul

Determined not to be upstaged, Mestanek followed with two identical rockets into WC's bottom 90 to ensure that by the end of a record 14-1 victory every Melchester player was now a bona fide goalscorerer.

'Ave eet.

Rovers barely had time to celebrate, sleep, shower and shoeshine before they were back on the pitch against second-bottom Tripoli. And from the start it seemed Melchester were still in party mood as they conceded straight from kick off. But after rolling up of sleeves and throwing off of hairbands, Melchester set about devouring their opponents like a big lass with a pastie, losing count of the score until it was eventually announced on the BSMK website - 10-2.

Despite having played an extra game at the weekend, inexplicably Rovers find themselves still in 6th, and still with two games in hand. Logisticians, theoreticians and mathematicians are still trying to work out how that can be, but in the meantime, the easy games are over, as tomorrow Melchester face fifth placed Domino in a straight fight for position. COME ON YOU RED(and yellow)S!!!
