In Arctic-like conditions Shez
Were hoping for three points,
An early Christmas treat for fans
To go with their roast joints.
With barely ten mins on the clock
A piece of Cary skill
And classy pass across the box
Was smashed home for one nil!
The goalscorer, one Lawrence Cheese
Just did not give Edam,
And slaughtered Borough defenders
With pure ease – lamb by lamb!
A red card shown put Haverhill
Quite harshly down to ten,
And for another Shannocks goal
It was not if, but when…
After the break a sub lino
“Unfit,” entered the fray,
He was “flagging” right from the off
To him, though, thanks we say!
The Splash end on forty-nine saw
Tim Cary make it two,
He hammered home, as in the stand
Most Shannocks voices grew!
With ice cold lips and numbing toes
The flag, again, hung proud,
And as the lads fought for the shirt
The Cheers (and jeers) flowed loud!
Jacko had not much to save, then
The Goal King made it three,
Lashing home in true poacher-style,
Another hungry spree.
Shezza kept on plugging away
And after eighty-eight,
Big Cheese completed his brace too
His debut – truly grate!
He chased the ball down then placed home
To bulge the net once more,
The Haverhill keeper – stranded
As on the score sheet: four!
The Reds’ attack – in great waves
Provided longshore drift,
The football played was outstanding
Causing all gloom to shift!
Next week we trek down to Sudbury
Whilst up the league we go;
A Merry Christmas to you all
This season’s holiday football
Against Fakenham should enthral
Supporters; Ho-Ho-Ho!
