From our Chief Sports writer, Big Ron Cliche McCliche:
The game got off to a brisk start with Haines playing as a lone
striker up front, supported by a five-man midfield of Haines,
Haines, Haines, Haines and Ray. But it became apparent that The
Rest of The World were not to be sniffed at and they launched
attack after attack stretching the central defensive set-up of
Haines, Haines, Haines, Haines and A N Other. Before long the ROTW
star striker Dusty Miller had penetrated the flat back five to
shoot past Haines in goal, leaving Haines and Haines the two full
backs stranded and forlorn. But led by their redoubtable captain,
Haines, the Haineses reorganised and were soon back on level
terms. Haines was tireless in midfield putting in a full shift and
Haines at left back made typical forays down the wing, getting
several challenging crosses into the box for Haines and Haines to
test the ROTW goalkeeper - a safe pair of hands, and he kept his
team in the game. But it was not until the fourth quarter that the
Haineses pulled their master stroke by changing tactics, swapping
Haines in goal with Haines in midfield. Haines got the winner with
only minutes to spare.
