All Quiet on The Royston Front

Royston Men’s 1st XI were in action this week against a stalwart Letchworth 3’s side. With one eye back on a stinging defeat from the week before, the Boys in Black seemingly warmed up with more intensity and carried that into the opening 10 minutes of the game. After looking bright, it was the ever-clinical Rob 'Holzhaus' Woodhouse who started Royston’s potential goal-fest. However, the brave Letchworth team struck back early on with a tidy move down Royston’s left side where defending seemed to be forgotten. With Dr ‘Kein Penisdoktor mehr’ Pete left flatfooted and an unnamed player (in fear that he would shout at me) seemingly unwilling to engage the defender, it was left to the onrushing ‘Überraschend Flexibel’ BJ to have a go… Anyways, after he was lobbed it was all tied at until Seb ‘Die Schönheitskönigin’ Miles put away a tidy Royston move to make 2-1 and it stayed that way up until the half, with Royston struggling to find that cutthroat shooting accuracy to put it past the stalwart Letchworth goalkeeper!

Sensing the need to enter the second half with even more vigour than the first, Royston stepped up with a goal from a short corner (you’ll find out who at the end). The Crows then took Letchworth to the sword as they put 3 goals by them in 4 minutes, showing what Royston can really do! (Troy ‘Kleiner Junge’ (Short 64’), Toby ‘Zwei Inch’ Hall (66’) and Carl ‘Papier Dünn’ Taylor (68’)) It really mirrored a lot of games this season, with Royston pressing hard against teams that start strong but who are left completely overwhelmed by the stamina and power of attack.

Off to Luton next week for an exciting clash with Vauxhall!
