Oh what a difference a week makes! Having lost the opening fixture, Constantine 125 bounced back in style; literally, as the team donned its new blue & white kit and beat Peninsula 2-1 in a cagey affair.
John Vernon sparkled up front, as he slotted two goals to put us into a comfortable lead, but defensive lapses allowed the opposition back into the game, and the win can be credited to Colin “The Cat” Prince, who made a string of classy saves. The game became somewhat stretched in the second half as legs tired, and both John and Abel Pais could have bagged a couple more goals each if it wasn’t for the athleticism of the opposition keeper.
Most of the team hadn’t played the week before, so it was a case of acclimatising to the conditions. Overall it wasn’t the best team performance I’ve seen. Our passing needs to be tighter, our shots a bit more savvy, and our positional sense needs some fine-tuning. However, the rust is beginning to flake away; we’re back in the dockyard working hard at re-modelling the behemoth that will be Constantine 125.
Some might say that the journey should have begun on the training pitch rather than the kit shop, but we believe looking stylish is the first step towards getting the panache back into our play. Once we’ve had the front and backs of the shirts printed a team shot will be uploaded to the blog, and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Personally I’m hoping for a Tottenham scout to spot me, but if the team gets a shot at the catwalk, I’m sure most of us, and without a doubt Colin Prince, will seize the opportunity with both hands!
