Due to outstanding financial issues it would prove severely contentious to post anything referring to Sykes FC here. Once the debt of £57 for the cancelled pitch is paid then there will be a full in depth match report. Maybe benito, whoever you are might want to chase up barrie for this money that you all owe me.

Never mind VAFC vs 1811 Witchery, how about a match report on Sykes FC’s glorious, glorious victory over VAFC on their own patch? This has conveniently not made it onto the site yet…

Neve mind the Apologies, how about a match report for the last game against 1811 Witchery? I seem to recall some dazzling footwork by a Staggs winger on the left, taking him past two Witchery backs and squaring the ball for a straightforward tap in by Tulloch and setting up the well deserved Staggs win. If a certain No. 10 shirted Staggs player was to follow the example, I’m sure the teams goal tally could increase significantly!!!!

Kevin Kelly Must Go!! lol

Anyway onto the football, Hailes took a 3-1 lead before defensive errors allowed Arms a way back into the game and somehow it was 4-4 at half time. After Alans inspirational team talk at half time Hailes focused on knocking the ball about in midfield which worked well and resulted in 7, yes SEVEN, second half goals. Also, the defence were terrific in the second half and I cant remember Arms having a shot on goal. Our performance was beginning to frustate the Arms players and resulted in a horrible challenge on Scott which was totally uncalled for and should have resulted in a straight red.

Overall, a very easy win for the Hailes.

Perhaps if VAFC spent as much time reflecting on the football instead of the “shenanigans” they may start to improve as a team.

Yeah agree that the one particular comment has no place on a football field. I know Kev very well though and although his mouth was misguided there was no serious intent, but i cant defend how it sounds. I think your big lad was thowing a few elbows around too, which is not great!
It was basically a derby game: goals, incidents, misguided tackles, and handbags. Ref was quite leniant which didn’t help. And your keeper had a bit of a mare(never start a sentence with and).

que sera sera.

to jonny: i appreciate you looking for a focus on the football as there is usually a good standard in our matches, i’m keen to walk on from this encounter but for the kind of chat that was heard towards diego clubs and players would be fined a ton of cash
