The Over 35 Old Boys

The Under 35 Old Boys ... ish

Defensive work needed from the very start for the Old Boys

Hamish, who played in every team, hits another long clearance

Testing each other in midfield

Goal number 1 for Steve Coffey in the NOBs - sorry, it was too quick to get a good shot

The charge of the (not so) light brigade

The NOBs had control of the middle of the park

Another NOB attack that should have resulted in a goal

Another midfield tussle won

The NOB come shooting down the middle

NOBs in the box

The NOBs shoot again

The Old Boys take possesion and start to come back into the game

Tim Carr prowling

The Old Boys have a chance

Then Harding scores for the NOBs and Craddock looks on sull of support and sympathy for Mansbridge

The scorer (Harding) celebrates

The keeper is inconsolable

Williams wants more

Another chance for the NOBs

and another one

The the Old Boys strike back to make it 1-2

New half: new keeper for the Old Boys who starts his tenure in style

The pace has slowed, but the passion is still high

Billing drops a shoulder, the the other and then can't get them back up again

Harding misses

The NOBs are still just on top

But Kenny just wants to dance to Saturday Night Fever

And Ric just wants to do the YMCA dance

H bursts through the NOBs

Stapleton flies

Cassin, fresh from the toilet, knocks it forward

NOBs penetrate, but do not have head

Still battling

They might not be getting far off the ground, but they all still want the ball

Er...

A great crowd and the The Chairman came to watch as ...

... the old boys go on one last desperate offensive ...

.. and score through Setters!
