Update, James Britton has controversially disputed the build up to the winning goal. Here’s his version of events:
The 3rd goal was in fact quite glorious in it’s build up. A cross field floated ball from James P (I think) was about to land on Britton’s head before he twisted with his back to goal and balletically controlled the ball on his chest, then knee, before dropping a shoulder and pushing more centrally. Still with back to goal Britton spotted the barnstorming run of Manager Tinklin. Threading the porky spherical plaything through the eye of a needle, the cross-field ball eluded two Womtner players before reaching it’s destination. With an angle tighter than a Scotsman at the bar, more obtuse than a Polish builder and more impossible than Mission Impossible 2 (full Director cut and extras) Tinklin blasted past the previously reliable Womtner keeper and into the bottom corner of the net to cap a classic breakaway goal. It was rebound tastic and Womtner were finally broken. Broken back mountain. Broken remote, broken controller for your Xbox, broken microwave, just very frustratingly broken and with no Mr Fixit in sight.
Kings Arsenal moved back into the promotion places in the penultimate game of the autumn season with a scrappy 3-2 win over Womtner Wanderers.
Goals from James Payne, James Britton and Mark Tinklin were enough to see of the Wanderers, who despite dominating possession for much of the match, only really had two shots on target.
The Kings took the lead when James P reacted quickest to an Oscarin Castiblanco throw, James B put them back ahead with a tap in after more good work from Oscar and Mark won it with a first time strike, following a Britton throw-in.
Tinklin’s finish was a bit like this famous goal below, just without the glorious build up:
Kings Arsenal hold a one point lead over third place Werde Beermen going into the final game of the season against The Runners Up, who were dispatched 8-4 when the two sides met earlier in the mini-season.
