A sea of red and white,
Chanting and cheering,
With the sun shining bright,

Its looking good today,
And with the Ref’s whistle,
The game is underway,

But we will all stand tall,
Woodards with a challenge,
Now Challinor’s on the ball,

A cross into the box,
Toddy with the header,
Yes! My team rocks!,

An explosion of noise,
He’s made it one nil,
To Tisdale’s boys!,

The game is restarted,
Only for the opposition,
To see a man departed,

Everyone rushes for a wee!
Grecian the lion entertains,
Trying to save a penalty!

Taylor with the attack,
Phillips with a hopeless shot,
(nearly as bad as Flack!),

They’re good on the break,
A brilliant shot to equalise,
Leaving our defenders in his wake,

We’re not playing so well,

Gives us a new lease of life,
The shots are coming thick and fast,
We’re giving ‘em some strife,

We’ve given the ball away,
Edwards clears the shot,
To the opposition’s dismay,

Who plays the ball out wide,
Billy gets his foot on it,
Takes it in his stride,

There’s still hope yet,
He doesn’t hang about,
Puts it straight into the net,

15 Leave a comment on verse 15 0 The cheers erupt again,
And an animated applause,
The Ref blows the full time whistle,
Another 3 points for the cause.
