Saturday 12th November saw a final pitch inspection at Tor Leisure ahead of the scheduled match between Tor Sports and Grasshoppers 05. Present were Tor Manager Richard Forster, goalkeeper 'Vinny' Wilcox and David 'I'm sooooo bored I'll even walk around a field on Saturday morning in the freezing cold rather than spend another minute with my brother and his Harem of women coz im sooooo not jealous, shuu'uup, I sooo cant believe you just said thart!' Sarjant. After ten minutes of walking, humming, prodding and jumping up and down on the spot for no apparent reason, Forster in classic Eisenhower style reached a decision "Guys, I see no other option, we go, I dont like it, but there it is"
Sunday 13th November, after a respectful two minutes silence observed by everybody present, both sides entered an encouner that was as enthralling as it was close with the midfield and defence of both sides keeping it tight without compromising the entertainment value. This game was threatening to be an exiting and rare sunday league 0-0 draw until the 'Truckle Shuffle' Nathan Truckle broke the deadlock with five minutes remaining in the half.
Tor started the second half as they finished the first with another strike from Truckle early on, from that moment onwards Grasshoppers were chasing the game, they did manage to shade the midfield game however not enough so to give them the edge needed to get back into the match. Two more goals followed from Truckle which were set up by David 'I never get any credit for the goals I set up and I really want a Harem as well.... Whats a Harem anyway?' Sarjant, and the ever lively Pentney in a controversial offside call that was overuled by the referee, official video replays can confirm that you need to take the lense cap off before filming, whilst eye witnesess report that Phil Johnson really DOES look good in red.
The final fifteen saw Grasshoppers rally together and apply pressure to the Tor goal, however the introduction of World beef eating champion 'Wiggy' and Nick 'I have a Harem of women yet why is it that blokes still chat me up in nightclubs, do you think it's something to do with my hair' Sarjant, to see the home side through to an impressive 4-0 victory.
After the game Forster stated that " I'm really pleased with all my players, even un-used sub 'Gary' Wilson, they worked hard today against tough opposition, we still have a long way to go however, the competition in this division is very high and the league standings are very tight, oh... and how do I get me one of those Harlems they sound like fun, dont they come from America?"
