Coalie Old Boys v Real Vectis

Today the Coal Exchange Old Boys FC took on Real Vectis Veterans FC from Cowes on the IOW.  Before the game we were presented with this fantastic pennant....

Coalie Old Boys- Back Row: Martin Clark, Sonny Moseley, Pat Mattison, Sam Wedderburn, Bran Nicol, Paul Sumnall, Pete Nugent, Duncan Dixon, Al Sanderson, Simon Bornhoft.  Front Row: Sam Doran, James Laycock, Jez Bullen, Danny Fellows and Simon Oiller.

Real Vectis Veterans FC- Pete (top row second from the right) and his mates from Cowes.

It has to be said the conditions were a little soggy...

The Coalie went 1v0 up before Real Vectis equalised and then went ahead 2v1...

It was 2v2 at half-time...

The conditions didn't favour 'Barcelona' style passing football.  Great for sliding tackles though...

Things were a little hazardous for the linos!

Coalie went 3v2 ahead in the second half after Jez hammered in a stone wall (-; penalty.  Real Vectis scored again to make the final scoreline 3v3.

The game was played in a fantastic sporting manner.  At the end both teams were as happy as they were muddy!

There was plenty of post-match analysis and light refreshments after the game back in the Coal Exchange.  I am reliably informed that all the Real Vectis players made it back to Cowes.  We are all looking forward to the return leg on the IOW.
