v Ipswich Wanderers – 9/11/19

A crisp afternoon at The Rec

Saw Shezza back on track,

The unforced errors and mishaps

Were both given the sack!

Although the Wanderers began

With supersonic speed,

They missed a pen and hit the bar;

Then, at last, took the lead.

A through ball caught defenders out

The strike – not very grand,

But sadly it still found the net

With help from Jacko’s hand.

The Shannocks tried to equalise 

But no goal would arrive,

Until the second period

When The Reds came alive!

A debut for Smith off the bench

Helped turn the game around,

The Shez controlled the second half

And soon were three points bound!

Smith’s magic feet and classy chip

Allowed Boycey to shoot,

And burst the Ipswich keeper’s net

With laces of his boot.

With fifteen left the Shannocks climbed

Another ladder rung,

And soon after the visitors

At last were truly stung!

More passing, neat, allowed Crosby

To drill one hard and low,

Causing all home fans to erupt –

Dish out the killer blow!

On Tuesday C.B.S. visit

Let’s hope to cause more trouble

And beat the Norwich side again,

An excellent league double!
