AN OKTOBERFEST OF FOOT AFOOT YC&AC’s Over 40s football team returned to losing ways on September 20 with a woeful 3-0 reverse against Verdrero Kohoku, one of only a couple of teams lower than us in the table prior to kick off. The Over 40s now have just three games left to play in the Kanagawa Seniors League before another long and difficult season of top flight masters football shudders to its anti-climax. The good news is the Club’s traditional friendly campaign for Over 35s is already underway. On September 13 we took on Yokohama Select, an assortment of individually wrapped players from across the city, and were Cadbury Roses quality in a sweet 4-0 victory. Goals came from Will Brady, a Signature Truffle of a diving header at the Shed End in the first quarter; Phil Denham, a twenty-five yard Noisette Whirl into the top left-hand corner shortly afterwards; yours truly, a Golden Barrel in the box in the fourth quarter; and Russell Brown, a long-distance Nutty Truffle Log. The Praline Moment of the match came in the build up to the third goal, when Russ Hannah, rather than simply head home a fine cross at the far stick, elected instead to control the ball between his right ear and shoulder then let it bobble down his body before stabbing the ball across to your No. 17 for the Golden Barrel. Thank you, Russ! We return to Over 40s league action this weekend with a 5:00 kick off against Seisho Wings, a team never likely to fill the world with Silly Love Songs. This fixture is traditionally a bad-tempered affair and thus should make for most entertaining viewing for the large crowd we expect to see watching on from the Oktoberfest tables pitch-side. We look forward to seeing you all there, and With a Little Luck we can turn it on! Prost! No. 17 Oh, and here is something to put all of you into Oktoberfest mode, with soccer twist: youtube/watch?v=ZU7FpnNLLn8
