KPMG FC 3 – 1 Spartack Heart Attack This game was a great game to watch for the neutral, or even the
supporters of either side. The football played in this match was second to
none and even the Great Sir Alex would have been proud of the skill level that
was displayed on the pitch. The first chance of the game fell for Brendan Hegarty. The tall,
awkward forward tiptoed his way through the Spartack defence and unleashed,
what must be said a feeble shot, towards the Spartack goal. The keeper who in
truth had a fine game easily saved the shot. When there’s free flowing football being played you can never rule out
the efforts of the Horse, Tony Lyons. The ball dropped to the Kerry man just
yards outside the Spartack box. On the volley, Lyons rifled a shot towards
goal. The pace of the ball had the keeper beaten but not the post. Lyons’
frustration was clearly evident as he scrunched his face in anger. The first goal of the game was a beauty. The “ever present”
Danny Murphy was up in the area waiting for a corner to be taken. Gregson
urged Tango to get into the box but he was content with tying his shoelace.
Ronan Murphy floated the ball into the danger area. The ball dropped at the
perfect height for Murphy who headed the ball with venom into the back of the
Spartack net. KPMGGGGGG were one nil up and another victory was on the cards.
A few more squandered chances were all that KPMG could muster in the
remaining of the first half but going in at half time a goal to the good was
just as vital. The second half saw the ever-present Huggie Bear getting into more
positive positions. Thomas Hegarty played the ball unselfishly to the Bear.
With the Tank being 6 yards out he felt that he wasn’t close enough to have a
shot. Hughie wrapped his massive foot around the ball. You know what they say
about men with massive feet?…….. Massive socks. The shot took a slight deflection
and sent the Spartack keeper the wrong way.
The ball flew into the net with delight all over Hughie face. The Bears 13th goal of the season
and lets remember he missed most of it due to prior engagements. The Spartack forwards pressed on and managed to earn them a free kick
in a very dangerous area. Gregson called for three in the wall but as if he was
a cowboy trades man looking for a quick buck the wall fell apart at the wrong
time. A curling shot the dipped viscously before the ever wary Barthez found
the back of the net. With only a one goal lead, KPMG knew that this game was
far from over. That is until Maradonna decided to appear on the pitch. Oh wait I
meant Thomas Hegarty who had been on the pitch all match but hadn’t produced
anything significant bar an assist. The ball was played to his feet by the
one they call Horse. With the skill of Maradonna, Pele and Caulfield all in
one he juggled the ball through the Spartack defence. Surely he couldn’t
finish it off by finding the back of the net? You bet your house he could and
he did. From a total of 12 yards out, further than all his previous goals
added together, he slotted the ball home with the grace of ballet dancer by
the venom of a cobra. The Spartack midfield tried various ways to score but having shots
from 40 yards out doesn’t work against the great Barthez. Last but not least
we have to mention the miss of the game. The ball fell beautifully to Declan
Hegarty. Yes I know that’s the third Hegarty I’ve mentioned so far but
believe me there’s more of this clan. All he had to do was side foot the
ball, low and to the right and a fourth goal was KPMG’s. But no he had to go
for the aggression tactic. He blazed the ball with enough power to move a
train. The ball flew past the defence but for the second time in the game the
ball flew back of the post. That was the last kick of the game and a victory
well deserved by KPMG. Where do they go from here? To the cup final of
course. |
