v Leiston Reserves (away) 14/9/19

The pitch was great, the sun was out

In Leiston we were set,

And once again a goal fest us

Shannocks fans soon would get!

The match began most lively, with

It’s tempo sharp and quick,

And after only twelve minutes

A goal Kerry would nick.

A Cary run was finished, calm

And almost number two

Was added shortly after when

Kerry was put clean through!

His shot flew over bar and stand

But then we ‘heard’ them rumble…

The Reds were hungry for more goals;

Leiston’s defence would crumble!

After the break it happened fast

Tim Cary firing home,

And then, at last, Jarvis would score

When in the box he’d roam.

He smashed in from a fiery cross

But just before the third,

The Blues had their sub sent straight off

With Kerry’s vision blurred!

The Shannocks bossed the game in style

Their passing most sublime,

And Boycey had a ‘turn’ in goal

(An early pantomime)!

Next Abbo, from a corner kick

Nodded home number four,

Before Jarvo’s class powerstrike 

Burst Leiston’s net once more!

Defending – the Reds strong and smart

Guarded their box with pride,

Big Carus, with his quality

Again bolstered the side.

That’s three wins on the trot for Shez

As up to fourth we move,

Kings Lynn Reserves are here next Sat

And we are in the groove!
