The teams were lined up with the classic grudge match- Team Dobbo (Mufti) vs. Team Doddsy (Yellow).

First blood after kickoff came surprisingly quickly, given the tiny pitch, however some felt this could be attributed to the sheer numbers of players on the pitch. However, despite this impediment both keepers fended off ruthless attacks from all angles until with a ruthlessly driven strike Bryan Dobson (Database programmer leader thingy) set the scoreline in motion.

Once restarted, the goals followed quickly, with James Nguyen (Dev) following Dobson’s halfway strike with one of his own and new signing Bob “goal hanging” Kamal (PM) sliding a cheeky one past Jack Craig (Designer) however, 3 behind Team Doddsy were undeterred. Ben “Schemells” Scammels  quickly got his side on the scoreboard and Kuljit Singh (Dev) swiftly following with team captain Dodds also making his mark to level the scores.

The game proceeded with both teams matching each-other goal for goal- Hargrove netting himself two in his debut performance, Marcus Gearey (BSA) and Adam Careswell (BSA) also putting one of their many shots away. For Team Doddsy, Singh converted twice, Gary Kemp (Designer) managed to get one and Ali Saeed (Dev) giving a stalwart display of two personally created goals.
