Lost 0-4 v BB Eagles (A) on 8.3.14, SAL Intermediate Div 2

12/3/2014

Norsemen travelled to the far reaches of West London to face a mid table BB Eagles side on a pitch that showed no ill effects of the recent weather problems - it was so good the football played deserved to showcase the best of what the two teams had on offer. Pity that player availability, or lack of, lead to players being recruited from everywhere - two of those recruited not showing up leaving Norsemen to start the match with 10 men. 
Things were further compounded when Eion Delahaye pulled up lame in the hamstring after only a few minutes. Rather than leaving the pitch he chose to fight on and became a touch and pass distribution player, even making two or three tackles on a couple of mugs who ran into him!
As expected, eventually the numbers showed and BB Eagles were able to pull clear, 3 nil at the break was a fair reflection of their dominance. 

With only pride left to play for, Norsemen came out in the second half determined to enjoy the wind at their backs on one of London's allocation of 7 sunny days for the year. Their efforts were rewarded when trialist Luc Coffiat rose at the near post to flick in a corner, nothing more than was deserved after a period where 10 men were every bit the equal of 11. 
Unfortunately a further goal was conceded meaning the half was only drawn, but every player to a man could be proud of the effort put in. It is a real shame that it is proving so difficult to get 13/14 regular players willing to do this week in week out. With 10 matches remaining it is imperative players make themselves available as often as possible to scrap a way out of the hole that has been dug.

What I like about Norsemen is their professionalism. They might be dealing with a lot of stress right now, may it be personal or not but you can never see it the way they play their games. I just admire them for so many reasons and this one is indeed the best! They may win or they may lose, what's important is at the end of the end the day, they did their best and losing will never let them down!
