Chris Hodgkinson
Man of the match
Things didn't look good when Dub only had nine men prior to
kick off. Team manager Cormac Kernan was relieved when he
thought he saw another two players arriving but it transpired that
it was only one player and the other was a lamp post that Chris
Hodgkinson had wrapped his car around - causing £1000 worth
of damage. Rumour has it that he was trying to avoid a
£3 fine. Obviously the club was having none of it and
fined him anyway. This was clearly not a good enough excuse
and Hodgkinson has been warned about his punctuality.
As for the game an easy win despite being a man down.
Goals came from Mr lamp post, McCann, Doherty (Phil of course) and
young Ryan Mercer. Who scored the fifth and who got the
assists - don't know.
Man of the Match; Hodgkinson for scoring despite his RTA.
Thankfully his shooting is better than his steering!
Referee; Ron Parkinson - I think
