A Few Snapshots From the Swindon v DRFC Game

[Not Now Kato]

A little late with this one, but it's been a hectic Christmas for me this year.  Anyway, here goes.................
 
 
 
After a really enjoyable Turkey and Stuffing sandwich from the burger van we went to look for our seats
 

 
 
I see no ships
 

 
 
Bend zee neez - Ski practice perhaps?
 

 
 
Our officials for the day.  The Ref turned out to be card happy against us, and somewhat inconsistent.   
 

 
 
A hopeful crowd begins to build
 

 

 
 
The usual handshake exercise
 

 
 
and we're under-way with early action from our boys
 

 

 
 
That looks like a push on Furman!
 

 
 
Let's take a closer look.....  Yep, clearly a push and a hand-full of shirt too - PENALTY to the Rovers!   
 

 
 
Robinson clearly fancies this one
 

 
 
Protest all you like Foderingham.... it's a still penalty
 

 
 
and Theo really does hit this one as Foderingham is sent the wrong way   
 

 
 
Pick that one out son   
 

 
 
Who's pushing who?
 

 
 
Race ya for it
 

 
 
Half Time
 
and time to water the pitch.  I've never understood why they need to do this.
 

 
 
time for refreshments
 

 
 
and check the scores around the league
 

 
 
even Santa is checking what's happening elsewhere
 

 
 
A nice sunset, and a nice score to start the second half
 

 
 
and we're on the offensive right from the off
 

 
 
though Swindon did manage a few attacks on our goal
 

 

 

 
 
but we continue to counter attack
 

 
 
and as the sun sets further
 

 
 
Swindon are awarded a penalty.  Michael Smith places it right and low
 

 
 
but Sam reads it perfectly and gets across
 

 
 
to pull off a superb save
 

 

 
 
Late Swindon pressure on our goal
 

 
 
but we're up to it
 

 
 
Darkness descends, it's a long journey home, but a very happy one
 

 
 
Hope this brings back happy memories of the day. 
 
Will post some snaps of our win against Coventry soon.

Wouldn't have Keegan down as a luminescent boots man!
