v Felixstowe and Walton United Reserves – 19/10/19

Fresh from their hibernation

The Reds awoke in style,

Although – for all cogs to turn fast

It did take quite a while.

The Shannocks started brightly, but

Against the run of play

Felixstowe took an early lead,

Then Rogers said, ‘I’ll play!’

He smashed home from 25 yards

Top corner his shot flew,

And then without a single doubt

The Reds’ confidence grew!

Remaining 1 – 1 at the break

The lads returned on fire,

And with a quick one-two Cary’s

Finish was to admire.

Ben Boyce – the workhorse – bagged the third

His strike beating the bar,

And Abbott – who ran his heart out

(A Shannocks superstar)

Burst through and finished cool, with ease

The keepers’ hand: too weak,

And shortly after, Tim Cary –

A hat trick he would seek!

His second thumped the net and there

Was still time to add more,

But next week at home to Cornard 

We’re ready – that’s for sure!

Another great win at The Rec

The Seasiders – outclassed,

The sun has beamed down once again,

We need not feel downcast!
