After recent performances, the media expectations of the Lepers was sky-high. This game provided a real test of the team's mettle. The drunken tombfoolerers were top of the table, with a 100% record in the league before this game.

Pre-match the Lepers had analysed their previous performances, and a defining pattern was beginning to emerge: Success was dependent on conceding first. The side's second-half performances had been incredible and were the reason for the bouyant mood within the side. The previous games had seen no goals conceded and a plethora of Leper strikes.

As the teams took to the pitch, the Lepers were surprised by the lack of manliness evident in the opposition. It was certainly a shock to see a real person enter the arena with a pair of sandals. And then to see the actor from the GayExchange adverts really confused the Lepers.

Once the referee's whistle had gone, the attire of the opposition had truly affected the Lepers. After 5 minutes, the scores were still level. With both sides having several chances. Eight minutes in this all changed. An error of concentration by all and the Lepers were 3-0 down, and it was half-time. Sadly, the half was soured by one man, known as Blackburn shirt, whose accent was absolutely appalling!

The second half continued much as the first-half ended. The Lepers' aggresion was not making any impression on the skullduggery of the tombfoolerers. And then came the crucial moment. Both teams knew the next goal was hugely important, and it went to the Tombfoolerers, who made it 6-0.

There were fears that the unbeaten second-half record could go - but the true quality of the side began to kick in.

The rhino was instrumental. Bustling his way through weak opposition, he made it into the area, shrugged off the keeper and smashed it home. Game on.

More masculine play saw Jerzak power the ball home from long range past the stunned goalkeeper. This was truly incredible.

And then, unbelievably, the Lepers pulled back a third. A goal of true class, involving all 11 of the Lepers' squad. The movement and the application by the whole side that there is no need to name the goalscorer here (Jerzak). Fabulous.

The Lepers looked to the referee for guidance - were they going to have a Chelsea-esque extra 6 minutes added?? Or were they going to get what they truly deserved - a visit to the Master Gunner??

The final whistle went, and they had done it. The Lepers had preserved their unbeaten second half record, and were off down the pub to soak up the glory.
