Just some of the line up the Lepers had to overcome to register an important victory:


On previous meetings the Lepers are just edging Sporting Airlock 2-1. However, previous meetings would be no indicator of the outcome of this match, being held as it was in the all-singing all-dancing new bouncy castle pitch. The Lepers had previously staged an inter-Leper friendly on the bouncy castle so had some previous experience of the vagaries of its off-wall rebounds and wider goals. However Ames was quick to protest that the bouncy walls nullified his much favoured 'barge into the wall' tackle, which has successfully seen him sin-binned on at least two occasions.

Due to the late arrival of Ames and the mysterious absence of Webb, Heppers started with Sheeno in between the inflatable sticks, Jerzak, Harby, and Drake all patrolling the D and the impressive Cornwall as lone striker. It remained to be seen just how the Lepers would hold their shape with out the Matthaus-like figure of Harvey dictating the play from the centre of the park.

The Lepers began shakily, adjusting to their new unfamiliar surroundings, but thanks to some assured, Beckenbauer-inspired defending from Harby, the ship was gradually steadied before Jerzak unleashed a shot of some description which went in the goal. Before long, the Lepers were 2 up after a sublime swinger from the right boot of Harby arced into the top corner from a full 10 yards and through a crowd of players. Honest. Feeling comfortable at half time, the Lepers introduced the Fresh legs of Ames for the increasingly Ballack-at-Chelsea like Drake. However, the ref was once again to prove the Lepers Nemesis after awarding a goal for a strike which crashed of the crossbar and back into play. The Lepers couldn't believe it, it was the Russian linesman all over again.

However the Lepers were not to be denied as Ames found space to unleash a Panda-esque strike before a nifty Cruyff (not German) turn left Cornwall to slot into an open net with a true poachers instinct, like his idol Gerd Muller I'm assuming. There was still time for a little madness from the Lepers though as repeated slide tackling by Jerzak, largely resembling Mathias Sammer by the way, saw him dismissed from the pitch for the period of 2 minutes, give or take 5. Sheen later reacted quickly, rushing out of his box to deny Airlock profiting from a quickly taken free kick, his bizarre goal-keeping antics really do put one in mind of Jens Lehmann. Airlocks Jose Antonio Reyes-alike had managed to slip in a goal somewhere while the Lepers struggled on with one man down, but the reintroduction of Sammer produced a blinding strike under the honey monster, bringing the score to 5-2. Airlock managed to notch up one further goal giving the Lepers a nervy finish until someone, possibly Ames, grabbed a sixth to finish off the match. Zeig Heil Lepers!
