Chairman's Select XI v Town Old Boys 3 - 3 A terrific turn out to watch a festive and friendly, well, mostly friendly game contested between a Chairman's Select XI and a Town Old Boys team. Both teams had players of very differing ages and abilities and proved to be a very well contested game, the Select XI took the lead through Jonny Goodman, when his grass cutter from the edge of the box, somehow beat the ever youthful Martin Bonner, Town drew level through Bradley Bryant and as the first half drew to a close Dan Warner managed to put through his own net to give the Select XI a slender lead. With energy sapping, the game ebbed and flowed, a lot faster than the players, the Select XI extended their lead through Quif, with an unstoppable shot, that flew into the top corner. The Old Boys then turned on the magic and after several very poor penalty appeals, a goal line clearance and a shot off the bar, they finally scored, when Mike Duerden volleyed home a Scott Walters cross, with less than 5 minutes left, Dan Warner made amends for his earlier own goal to bring the scores level.
