On 4th October saw our football team play our first match of the year against Pakistan/islamic society. Following our narrow 2-1 loss to law society at the end of last year we were looking to return to form in this one and put on a performance that showed we mean business to anyone else that dares challenge us. Our gaffer Dan Irvine put out a formidable starting XI that proved to be more than a match for the seasoned veterans of Pak/Isoc with the game looking evenly matched at the start.
The midfield battle proved to be the key, and squad rotation was at the forefront of the gaffers mind. Everyone left it all on the pitch, nobody could ask for more. Well, Sean’s performance on the pitch left a lot to be desired. There were some memorable moments including an incredible penalty save from our keeper and two first class finishes from Charlie Staunton and Arran Menzies . It was a stunning performance from all our freshers there’s no question about it, we’ve got some great talent to take forward to our upcoming clash against law. A few lessons were learnt as well, one being that it pays to know the ref so they can forget about the offside rule 👀 There may also be some slight room for improvement when it comes to time management after being forced to end things early 😬. It’s safe to say Satwick would’ve bagged a hat-trick given another 20 minutes. Despite some questionable refereeing there’s no denying our opponents proved to be tough competition with some great talent on show for both teams, leaving it evenly poised at 2-2 by the end and perfectly set up for a rematch later this year. Can’t wait for the next one!

MOTM: Arran Menzies
Goals scorers: Menzies, Staunton
