The kick-off. The old touch is still there! 
Both teams made good chances early on. Here's Billy Whizz challenging for a header with veteran defender Simon Oiller... 
The Old Boys relied on experience, skill and a lot of arm waving (Laycock?) to keep the reds at bay. It was OvO at half-time. 
That's me receiving some expert tactical advice from my assistant manager at half-time.... 
The Old Boys opened the scoring in the second half with a brilliant poachers goal from Simon Bornhoft. We got a second soon after when Darren Perry rolled back the years to jink past the reds defence and slot the ball past the keeper. The reds came back with a goal in the last ten minutes of the game from Sam Wedderburn. The photo below shows Sam giving Laycock a shove in the back and taking an elbow in the ribs from Jon before knocking the keeper out of the way and nodding the ball into an empty net. It has to be said a goal of great bravery, skill and foul play....good work! 2v1.
The game finished 2v1 to the Old Boys, but the real winner was football :-) and the brilliant sprit of the Coal Exchange Football team (since 1996).
