On a bitterly cold night at Broomfields the dsw fc team but a brave face on it and went into battle against newcomers Dalai Llama. The match opened briskly with both teams weighing each other up before showing each other what they were really capable of. Ten minutes in dsw fc began to gain in confidence, showing Dalai Llama how well they could give the ball away at the back!!. By half time and after some excellent movement by Dalai Llamas dsw fc were two nil down and feeling sorry for themselves. Without an on fire Paul in nets it would have been much worse !! 

Every game is a game of two halves and this one was no exception……..and it was just as cold as the first. Commitment is what dsw fc have built their formidable reputation on and the crowd were quick to note that Doddy was clearly coming down with man flu and yet he was still there playing like a rotund Mauricio Pellegrino giving the ball away with flair at the back. Awesome stuff. 

The rest of dsw fc began the fightback playing better football and becoming more organized. Just as it looked like they were going to hit the back of the net a lapse of concentration saw Dalai Llama break at make it 3-0. There was nothing Paul could have done. David, James, Adam, Neil and Bob all went close but it looked like it was not dsw fc’s night. However in the dying minutes of the game David pounced on a loose ball , following pressure from James, and David ‘slammed in the lamb’. It was 3-1. dsw fc had lost but with their pride intact and there was even talk of Doddy being up for an Ester Rantzen bravery award………
