Lakenheath Away

Our first match at this higher tier
In Suffolk at The Nest,
Proved to be tough, a difficult
Afternoon summer test.

The hosts shot quickly out the blocks
But for their huff and puff,
They couldn’t find the net at all
And chances they would fluff.

The second half was better, and
The Shannocks stepped it up,
And showed quite clearly why they had
Just won the Sterry Cup!

On 56, a super goal 
By Kerry did take place,
It caused the stand to roar with pride
Etching smiles on each face!

A fab run and a world class pass
Was followed by a cross,
That left the debutant to score,
His finish full of gloss!

The Heath were swiftly fired up
And scored a sloppy goal,
And then a free-kick afterwards;
Resistance took its toll.

The lads dug deep and got stuck in
They fought for every ball,
With captain Cox leading his troops
Defending strong and tall.

An equaliser almost came
But it was not to be,
A bunch of positives we’ll take
Patience will be the key.

On Tuesday Yarmouth come to town
Let us recharge our motors,
For our first home game at The Rec
When we take on The Bloaters!
