An excellent performance by the Albion and a BIG thanks to the Donny boys for arranging the pitch, referee and post match butties.
The Albion only had 11 players due to the non-appearance of Mr Banana, and one other who sent in a note from his mum to manager Hiney. The fact that said player is 38 was alarming. The Albion players ranged in age from 15 to 44.
The kit also failed to put in an apparance, but luckily a motley collection of blue and white striped shirts, from the current incarnation to a TSB special from the 80's, allowed the Albion players to recognise one another.
The Albion dominated early doors, and apart from goalkeeper El Pres FORGETTING the back pass rule and conceding an indirect free kick in the box, had little to worry about. After a series of missed chances, the Albion took the lead, mainly due to the inverted Christmas Tree formation employed by manager Hiney. A break down the right came to Helsinki Seagull Jr 1, and he took on two defenders before driving past the excellent Donny keeper.
A few minutes later, some neat one touch football resulted in a Brazilian style one-two from the otherwise inert DAMANCLAY with Helsinki Seagull Jr 1, and the Albion were two up. A host of missed chances followed when the Albion could have put the result beyond doubt, but a succession of miskicks, slices and good keeping from the Donny man in green prevented any further goals.
Keeper El Pres had nothing to do during the first half, and was seen trying to catalogue his porn collection with the action in the opposition half.
At half time Donny made 9 substitutions, whereas all the Albion had was three oranges and a new poem from Attilla
"We are two goals in the lead,
DAMANCLAY plays like a weed,
We have young and old the perfect blend,
Now lets take the Donny end"
In the second half the fresh legs of the Donny players put the Albion under a lot of pressure and it was no surprise that the lead was narrowed when they broke through on the right.
However, the Albion's counterattacking style allowed Helsinki Seagull Jr 1 to complete a fine hat trick which knocked the stuffing out of Donny, and a fourth soon followed when Ben abandoned his midfield duties to swan upfield for a ten yard drive past into the onion bag.
A late consolation, following a goalkeeping swap by the Albion, brought some respectability to the scoreline for Donny.
The return fixture in Brighton on 7th April is already being anticipated with relish. Many thanks to Rigo for all the organisation, and to all the people who came to support us.

An excellent summary El Pres
Although I feel my driven effort was closer to 15 yards...
And I was only allowed to abandon my midfield duties cos Mike was having a blinder thanks to his late second wind!
Great game, well done to all involved, particularly Helsinki Seagull Juniors 1 and 2. Only a shame the 'pros' couldn't replicate it later on.
Roll on April 7th
Now Kiers, talk us through the back-pass rule again....

Everyone was shouting at me so loudly but I could not hear them properly, so I picked up the ball to slow things down for a second to listen properly, and then heard the whole defence (combined age 148) yell as one "kick it".

Brilliant performance boys.
My choice of tactics was completely VINDICATED by a marvellous display of attacking football. Some of the passing movements were a joy to behold and were reminiscent of Brazil in 1970.
The back four were ROCK-SOLID with the Huffer brothers DOMINANT both in the air and on the ground. Anyhting that did get past them was ably dealt with by El President, who FLUNG himself about with GAY abandon in goal. He couldn't be faulted for their two goals and apart form his back-pass BRAINSTORM, was magnificant.
Fullbacks Rob and Jaz took every opportunity to BOMB forward with marauding runs leaving their opponents trailing in their wake.
Midfield generals Padders and Bath Seagull showed us their full REPERTOIRE of skills and were in total control of the middle of the park. They were able to release Zesh and Pat out wide who PEPPERED the Donny BOX with quality balls. Bath Seagulls goal, struck from fully 20 yards nearly ripped the net off the goal, as it TORE past the Donny goalkeeper, leaving him grasping at thin air.
Up front, the positively Shearer-esque Jimmy helped himself to a hat-trick of the highest quality and DamanClay was a willing foil, making some superb runs off the ball to create more space for the RAMPANT SEAGULLS.
In summary, this was a fantastic performance and I echo El Pres in saying thank you to everyone who came out to watch, especially the ladies - El Pres waited for 45 minutes in the SHOWERS for you all.
The weather was pretty SHIT to start with but as soon the powers that be saw the quality of play on offer from the MIGHTY Albion, the sun came out and SHONE down on the FEAST of football on offer from our boys.
Thank you also to the Donny boys who played well, but were no match for the RAMPANT stripes.
The victorious team - I hope I got everyone's name right above!!
