2nd PLACE SECURED

What a result.... a 2-0 victory at home to Drefach with myself the Sharkster and Wayne 'Trix' Williams grabbing the goals. I know it's been over a week since my last post but I have been so nervous about this match that I couldn't bring myself to write anything for fear of putting a hoodoo on us. Following Dafen's 2-1 win against Trostre on Thursday we needed a victory against a resurgent Drefach. After the season we have had it would not have been fair to have finished outside of the top two. And so it was on the 16.04.05 that BPAFC finished their most successful season ever. And we didn't win a single trophy, just plenty of respect.

After dominating the 1st half and starting well in the 2nd half it just seemed that 2nd place was never going to be, with nerves fraying and two of the biggest whingers up front for Drefach it was becoming increasingly risky business. Then on what must have been about our 6th corner, El Sharko pops up on his usual near post run to plant a diving header past the hapless keeper. Get in their ya beauty. Drefach started to push on again, and nearly got the equaliser only for the whinging striker to place his shot over the bar after turning well outside the box. Then up popped Trix with the decisive goal in the last 10 minutes to settle all the nerves. We had done it, broken the stranglehold of the top two and moved in between Dafen and Seaside. Now for the big push next season, beating these two.

A big thanks from all the squad to our fitness coach and all round legend Phil Mogs. If it wasn't for you Moggsy we wouldnt have had the legs to do as well as we have THANKS!

And a big pat on the back for Craig and Jono what a partnership well done guys. Last but not least well done to the whole squad for working so hard throughout the whole season, like Phil said before Saurdays game, if it was down to hard work and effort we would have won this league.
