It wasn’t Christmas but sure as hell a miracle did happen this brisk Sunday morning. All was to play for in this game. Could Garvaghey win the group or could KPMG sneak into second place? Because they were late turning up KPMG got a goal conceded before the game. Garvaghey who with two extra players really did carve their way through the KPMG midfield, naturally, dominated the early possession. With pressure and dominance Garvaghey had plenty of opportunities to score goals, but with only long-range efforts on goal they weren’t going to beat Barthez. The first goal of the game was a typical Tom the Tank goal. Like an egg he “poached” around the penalty area, let me correct that the goal line of his opponents as he claimed he picked up a knock in the previous game. A beautiful ball was played into the area by I am not sure but the control from Tom the Tank was exceptional. With confidence and grace he controlled the low flighted cross with his left foot and in one foul swoop blasted the ball past the Garvaghey keeper. That goal brought he two teams level, quite to the amusement and disbelief of the KPMG players. The defending for the Garvaghey goal was somewhat questionable as the Garvaghey attackers made simple work of creating an opening. Simple one-twos were all that were needed and when the ball was played through the middle the Garvaghey attacker caught the ball on the half volley. The result…. the lead as the ball crashed passed Barthez. Midway through the first half the man upstairs must of heard the prayers of the KPMG supporters, oh hang on there was none, so he must of done it out of goodwill. A certain Jim asked us were we in need of some help and Hega said we were. Within minutes KPMG had an extra player. KPMG hadn’t had him playing for them all season but he was sure to be a help to the side….wasn’t he? He was of course. This Messiah like man except for having hardly any hair, no beard and also being small and a bit tubby, Jim was the God send we had all been waiting for. He came on and immediately had an impact on the game. That’s right he was superb………..at losing possession but the KPMG faithfuls knew that the extra man was here for another reason. The half time whistle blew and the KPMG camp were confidant they could over come the goal deficit. Why was this because they were now to have eleven players? How was this I hear you ask? Because little Martin came on for the second half. The second half started in good form for the KPMG side. With good patient build-ups they created more chances and really should have taken these but their luck was out. The breakthrough finally came when Jim received the ball on the touchline. With one look up he floated a beautiful ball into the path of Tomas The Tank. Tom who in on cloud nine with his form in recent games wasn’t going to miss this opportunity. And he duly smashed the ball into the back of the net and also join the Huggie Bear on top of the goals list. Both have 8 goals but Tom is in a rich vain of form. With very few games left who will come out the victor? This was the equalizer and KPMG thought that if they held on to this result it would be a great result for them but that didn’t happen. KPMG forced a corner late on in the second half and with Martin running over to the ball he was duly and abruptly stopped by his fellow teammates. This wasn’t out of disrespect but they knew Ronan Murphy could supply a great ball. With his right boot Murphy floated a ball into the danger area. As I mentioned earlier we had a Messiah come on for the team. The team also had a Judas on its team. A one Danny but instead of being the traitor on this occasion he rose to the occasion and with a bullet of a header rattled the ball into the top corner of the net. The KPMG camp went ballistic as they had beaten the Garvaghey men with an under strength side. To sum the tournament up for KPMG I must say that although a few influential players were missing from the side the spirit and character was what got them into the second spot. The team didn’t take everything very seriously and went out and had fun and I believe if the side played with a bit more enjoyment they may win more games.
