Bunney took his rightful place in nets last night with Mills, Bonnett (2 goals – 1 pen) and Georgiades (2 goals) out on pitch with all three being under the weather carrying sniffles and a few more pounds of timber after the festive period. It didnt help the Knights had to play all game without a sub and the opposition were all younger, fitter, faster and had 3 subs.
The game took a turn for the worse with the opposition takign the lead before a fine Bonnett cut back to Georgiades lead to the defender entering his own box under pressure and conceeding a pen which bonnett tucked away with easy.
The opposition again took the lead before Mills threaded a ball down the line to Georgiades who dragged the ball back inside his man, out muscled him and poked the ball past the keeper.
2-2 at half time.
The opposition then made it 2-3 before a quick worked 1-2 freekick between Bonnett and Mills on the edge of their box caught them all napping for Bonnett to simply tap it into an almost unguarded net to make it 3-3.
With legs tiring and the cold air stinging the lungs the opposition then took a 3-5 lead before the Knights mimi revival with a Mills long ranger being well saved by the keeper and rolling out of the box to a defender who turned into Georgiades who disposessed him had a shot saved by the keeper before it rolled out to his left foot to dink it into the net with the keeper still on the floor.
In the final minutes the opposition made it 4-6, however the Knights can take heart having more than enough opportunities to make a real game of it and with their hard work and never say die attitude made the opposition work harder then the wantedd to or expected.
The highlight of the game was Bonnett turning up i na Nigeria shirt and twelling everyone ‘if that white fella can play for trinidad and tobago i can bloody well play for nigeria if i like – world cup here i come’.
There was alos the litrtle gem of Carla turning up with the Bunmeister general and looking sultry at us all night from the stands, im sure she even pouted a few times at bunney to keep his concentration up – well it certainly got something up – his shorts dont leave much to the imagination.
