v Framlingham Town – 7/12/19

A chilly winter’s afternoon

With Christmas on its way

Saw presents handed out early

In one gutsy display.

With only seconds on the clock

A truly world class strike

From Tim Cary – thirty yards out

Net-busted – Messi-like!

The Reds carved out chances galore

But then – a gruesome blot

Blighted the atmosphere as Fram

Scored with a fiery shot.

Step up, though, Mr No Nonsense

The hard man, Mr Boyce,

Who got stuck in and won a pen

Causing us to rejoice!

Tim Cary smashed from twelve yards out

The keeper made the save,

But Shannocks goal-king followed up:

Victory path he would pave!

Ice cold wind swept and floodlights beamed,

The second half kicked off,

Knees trembled and my ears picked up

Many a wheezy cough!

Young Smith dug deep and top scorer

Cary could have bagged more,

We had the key to Fram’s defence

And charged on through the door.

Somehow the game remained 2-1

Faces pulled in the stand,

Teeth grated hard and gasps billowed

And hair thinned strand by strand!

As time ticked on, the visitors

Determined – almost scored,

Then, at long last, man of the match

Boycey (The Rec Landlord)

Broke free and span and blasted home

Three points we would collect;

For Fram and fan Ed Sheeran this

Result was not Perfect!

Next week we are at home again

We welcome Haverhill,

If you can, visit Weybourne Road

You shall receive a thrill!
