Kylies bounce back with big win

23 November 1997, Division 5 at Mannington

The White House 3 KMLC FC 7

After last week's battering it was important the team got back in the groove. Big Al was back in goal and Stu returned to midfield and the goals flowed, at both ends.

Watty moved onto six for the season but Cox's double brought him just the one behind. Stu scored a pen, Richie got one from the bench but it was Crumbie who took the MVP.

This was to prove a significant win, but not for a good reason...

Two weeks after beating these opponents the Kylies were dealt a massive defeat. What was the difference from the previous game. Well, Garratt, three weeks after his MVP winning performance against Swindon Police, turned in an absolute horror show in goal.

Three down at the break Merry pleaded with the manager to hook the keeper and save him from further punishment. Gouldy stayed with the hapless keeper for the second half and three more went in, but only two were his fault. Amazingly the Spoons was shared with Coxy.

The odd goal in five in the Kylies favour made it three wins a row (four out of five) and gave the team some (what would prove to be misguided) ambition about the season ahead.

Cox, Cook and Crumbie were the similarly initialled goalscorers that day, shame Carpo couldn't notch to complete the set. Swatty must have been influential in this one as he won MVP. Stu had a share of Spoons without playing for the second time this season.
