The referee, Adrian Biscan blew his whitsle, and the game got off to an extatic start, with The Court Jesters nearly 1 – 0 in the first 70 seconds of the game, a great piece off football between Elliott Huntley and Chris Summer, leading to James Wainwright taking a shot outside the Hamishmcooper Penalty area, striking the cross bar before rebounding off for a goal kick, The Court Jesters meant buisness, shown by the 1,000 Laughing men fans enthusasm for the game!
The first half was more of a possesion game, mainly in The Court Jesters favour, untill an error from Hedwig Gunkel from a Hamishmcooper conrner gave The Laughing Men a scare, Gunkel missing the punch onto the ball left the goal wide open for Rupert Sibbald but thanks to an alert Chris Summer, a tackle intercepted Sibbarld and summer managed to get the ball clear!

The Second Half:
The second half kicked off to the same reception as the first, except that Hamishmcooper gave The Court Jesters another scare, a great piece of play from Carreyo and Gunderson helped set up Joesphson who took a couragous shot on goal, and Gunkel could only push it up and behind the goal for a corner to Hamishmcooper!
The main event of the match didn’t come till the 60th minuete when Elliott Huntley was brought down by a mistimed tackle by Guttorm Poulsen, manager Killy23 furious to see that Poulsen walked away without seeing a yellow put to his name! James Wainwright stood up for the free kick, and will be one to remember on his behalf, Wainwright struck the ball into the top right hand corner, a save that Miranda couldn’t get a hand to, and The Laughing men took the Lead!
