Lions starting eleven: Gardner, McCartney, Fildes, Marlow, P.Farr, Dye(C), Harrison, Burnage, Pearson, Canning, P.Crisp
Dave Hucker was the man in the middle for today's mud bath against Pig & Whistle.
Steve Mccartney made his debut in defence for the Lion's and had good game despite being tipped off that part of the initiation was that it would be his turn to wash the kit.
Breachwood started well but went behind after a quick counter attack down the right wing. The Pig & Whistle forward managed to get a touch on the cross to score past Gardner from close range.
Despite Pig hitting the post and another save from Gardner, most of the creative attacking play came from Breachwood, who went in at half time only a goal down but feeling very positive. Dye & Burnage had threaded balls through to Canning & Crisp in attempts to open the Pig defence. Burnage and Fildes had also had a couple of free kicks each.
At the start of the second half. David Farr replaced the injured Pete Farr.
Pearson was full of running down the left wing only for his crosses to be thwarted.
Not having played for two weeks and short of subs the Lion's legs grew weary as the Green became a battlefield of mud.
Despite Breachwood's defiant battling and a superb goal line clearence from Ben Marlow Pig scored 4 second half goals, all of which were virtually in the six yard box from the same player, one of which was a gift after a stray back pass into defence from Harrison.
Despite the shout for offside, Breachwood's consolation goal at 3 nil down came from an Andy Fildes free kick, Harrison's headed flick on fell into a goal mouth scramble for Crisp and Canning, amongst the Pig defence,but the ball popped back out to Harrison for a left foot shot into the far corner of the net.
Today's Manager's Man of the Match was Captain Danny Dye for the mudiest kit
Thanks to all our supporters standing in the rain including Laura,The Dye's ,Beeney, Ash & Steve and the injured Graham French
