Lewes 10-3 Men's Veterans XI
A fine spring afternoon, a good side with 2 subs'something missing though? Ah yes - umpires. With a no show from both Brighton's umpires we were forced drop 2 players to umpire and things went downhill from there. To be fair though, Lewes were awesome driven on by a master class from Chris Marchant and Brighton were run ragged throughout the game. Rob scored in the first half but we were always trailing and when Ben scored 2 goals in as many minutes after great work on the right from James A to pull the score back to 7-3, Chris Marchant responded with the goal of the game, hammering in an unstoppable shot from a tight angle.
With the light fading and Lewes into double figures both sides agreed to stop early and further humiliation was spared.
Special thanks go to Guy who arrived early to umpire the Flippers game to find he was not required then umpired the entire Vets game.
