Team on form!

August 17, 2007

After the miserable last few weeks Gravytrain Limited bounced back in an unfamiliar fashion to win. Yes win! I will write it again to be sure. Gravytrain Limited won a match! A depressingly bad first half performance meant that Gravytrain Limited were 5-0 down. With the new players almost losing hope veteran Alex Taylor turned up the pressure on goal. The Gravytrain Limited striker managed to bag 6 goals to put the team ahead. A Further goal from Andrew made it 7 and marked an impressive win for the club.

New players and a surprise return…

Back from injury is 1st team goalkeeper George who was out due to a broken finger. He has only allowed two weeks for the break to heal! Gravytrain Limited contacted the team doctor to verify this and were astounded at this great news. The doctor added that as George was from Scotland his bones were made from stronger stuff and also healed quicker. Aparently Scotish bones heal 60% faster than that of an Englishman.

Also playing this week is Nick’s younger brother (looks older though) , who is making his second appearance for Gravytrain Limited FC, and a one of Alex’s friends who we are still waiting to for details of. 

Last week it didn’t seem possible but Gravytrain Limited has muscled on and found enough players to represent the team. More information about how the team got on and inside gossip to follow! 

It’s all Gravy, get the train, there is limited availability

Well if that title doesn’t help with SEO i dont know what will. Anyway back to the footy. Next week looks like it might be a difficult week for Gravytrain Limited FC. The club is looking for players that are interested in representing Gravytrain Limited this week. The team is struggling to get the numbers and it looking to the internet to recruit new talent.

Steve Slade makes debut goalkeeper appearance with Gravytrain Limited

Steve Slade got earnt his place back in the team with a remarkable performance in goal for Gravytrain Limited. The ”loose-cannon left-back” had gone AWOL a few days ago but was found asleep on a park bench grasping a can of special brew,  in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Despite his inability to see he agreed to play in goal for Gravytrain Limited.

The match started off well with a few good early saves from Steve and a few chances at the other end. Sadly the Gravytrain team went one – nil down despite dominating most of the play. The opponents, Limited FC, had Petr Cech in goal which made it difficult to score, but finally 10 mins in Alex scored a blinder of a goal when he nutmegged the entire team (including a few Gravytrain Limited teammates) to get us on score sheet.  The match was very close but if it had not been for both keepers being on form it would have turned into an absolute goal fest. End score: Gravytrain Limited 4 – Limited FC 8.
