A strange trip down to Suffolk saw
The Shannocks taste defeat,
Although the scoreline was most harsh
The football played was neat.
With players out we gave it all
On their new 3G pitch,
And we will see, without a doubt
This merely as a hitch.
The opening half often showed
The Whites go very near,
The final ball just would not fall
And Needham’s lines would clear!
The Marketmen did counter quick
With chances few and far,
Birdy made a fantastic save
But most strikes: under par!
After the break – much of the same,
The patience and the strive
Did not pay off, sadly, this week
As goals would not arrive!
It is a pity that we did
Not possess V.A.R.
Because the line may have been crossed
When smashing off the bar!
Coxy thought that it did, and
By quite a lengthy way,
It would have been interesting
To have viewed a replay!
The hosts scored scrappy goals late on
Through scrambles in the box,
This summed the day up pretty well
But we’ll roll up our socks
And take on Norwich CBS
In Bowthorpe on Tuesday,
And, fingers crossed, the Shannocks will
Put on a great display!
