MoM – Jake Bunyan
Alcoholic Units – 4 👀
Entertainment value – 9/10
Today would be a strange one with us welcoming back our beloved Gaffa Nunny💚⚽️💚; unfortunately the return of our Waders legend is as manager of the opposition 🥺 and not just any old opposition, it should come as no surprise that Kempston are riding high under his stewardship….
I know it’s early days (BigAl keeps telling me 🙄) but having only managed a point so far, Waders really needed the 3 points today…
We met up with Bunnyman, Chelseaboy and Matty Mouser and family in Spoons before the walk down to Langford road. The clubhouse was busy when we got there – there was no burger van today so Tel had to settle for a half, I won’t mention his thoughts on Shelley daring to take some maternity leave and not serve his tea 🤣 (He was joking – I’m sure he was 🤔)
Like old times, Nunny was straight across to have a catch up with us before kick off, soon joined by the much missed JP💚 and we were even treated to a smile from Micky ☺️
Waders had an early scare when ex Wader Ben Stevens hit the post, but after this Waders seemed to galvanise, playing some nice football. Chances were created and it should of been no surprise to us after 20 minutes that Jake Bunyan’s deflected shot beat the keeper 😃
Apart from one chance, well saved by our very impressive young keeper Timmy Smith, Waders finished the 1st half the better side 👏
2nd half at the BelEnd and ex Wader & pro Darren Hay came over to see Tel 😍 and reminisce over the old days.
Out for the 2nd half and Waders carried on the good work with Brathwaite doubling the lead 😃 BigAl apologises for the misspelling on twitter.
Things should of been easy from here on… but remember we’re playing a Nunny side 🤔 And it wasn’t long before Kempston had pulled one back 😬
The visitors gained in confidence really pushing us for that next goal… that chance came via a penalty in the dying minutes that caused much drama between the 2 gaffas on the touch line….👀 they got their equaliser.
We stopped for a quick chat with Nunny and Kyle afterwards, always a pleasure this pair 💚💚
All in all an enjoyable afternoon – we played well and really shouldn’t have given the 3 points up… but as I said earlier, I was expecting a thrashing today!
Away to Dereham in the FA cup next Saturday – a few travelling on the coach – like 7 of us 🤣
