Diamonds 2 - 0 up, looking more comfortable after the 2nd goal.

Dunks gone off with an injury, Ben Morgan is on as his replacement. Alfie is the bizz at the moment.

Still 2 - 0

3 - 0 and game safe... Morgan doing the hard work, Alfie shoots, and Koriya puts in the rebound. :D

Key focus has to be Dunkley's injury? How bad did it look? Hoping it's not going to put him out of the 18th!

Dunks withdrawal was a precautionary measure. Kempston worked hard but we should have been 3 up by halftime.

Decent attendance of 541.

A big thank you to all who came down and help shift a lot of sand to get the game on.
Pitch is a mess though and Wednesday could be in doubt if the forecasted rain arrives 8-)

Great result. Strangely Kempston were the better side in the first half even though we could of been 3-0 up! Work that one out. Second half we were better again, controlled the game and should of won 5 or 6-0. A few mentions.
1) Their number 10 and management were a bunch of whiny tw*ats.
2) The lino running that line. He got so much stick from their management and subs but actually gave it back just as good, he also had a good game (apart from missing the late tackle of Brown) despite his Christmas dinner hangover lets say. Fair play to him
3) Koriya, the last two games he has been nothing short of awful. His speed doesn't even start to mask his total lack of awareness of fellow players and the game, his control and positioning are felt wanting and whenever he loses the ball he just stops and waves his arms.
4) Clarke, One of the best defensive performances I've seen in a very very long time. Brown was getting absolutely ruined down that right hand side in the first half but Clarke covered so well, surprised he didn't get MOTM. Great performance from him!
