Jeffs Chippy 1-2 RECREATIVO 6.3.11.

A work of friction.

The day after World Book Night and Recreativo's hard working authors are off finishing difficult second novels or sexing up maths in the Lake District. So it's up to the rest of us to write the script. Chapter 1, in which a goal is scored by the scampering home team, numerous opportunities to do so are spurned or repulsed, very naughty boys from each side are dismissed from the field in disgrace following fisticuffs, a goal of pure ugliness is scored the away side, eye-catching swallow dives are executed in the Reccy penalty area by the Hosts and 'the ref' confounds the entire cast with cameos of arm waving oddness that, this writer suggests, would sit as happily with a Sadlers Wells Interpretive Dance Workshop as a Sunday afternoon on Clapham Common.
Chapter 2, in which the tranquillity of large areas of the pitch, unattended by tiring legs, is shattered repeatedly by cries of 'Russel's Ball', a rather more convincing case for a penalty to the hosts goes unappeased (oh how the undeserving are rewarded for their earlier skullduggery), Chris Read It and Weep puts a full stop to not one, but two dead certain goals and the denouement is saved for the final paragraph - a Reccy goal from all things a corner kick, to squeeze victory from the sphincter of defeat.

Man-booker prize, the ref naturally.

Pull(the other one)Itzer(got bells on) Prize: Marine Boy (diving).

Team: Chris Read, Adam Bradbury, Joao Spinola, Joe Haley, Max Bland, Connor Joseph, Umar Ba, Benson Chambers, Aaron Gayle, Liam Greenaway, Russell Smith, Mario Pisano, Jimmy Lloyd.
