Bloods Trounce Spanners

League defending champions Young bloods outclassed, outplayed and humbled Eleven Spanners in an enthralling match played at the Baraton University pitch on Sunday, 10^th November 2014.

Bloods who were parading their new signings namely Rono, Bramwel and Isaack proved to all and sundry why they are the league defending champions, by outplaying the star studded Spanners by 4-2. They made their presence felt as early as the tenth minute when their number ten tried his luck from ten yards out only to be denied by Spanners goalkeeper who produced an amazing save.

Bloods kept on pushing for that elusive goal and they finally opened the scoring in the 20^th minute, when a harmless shot from their marauding striker Jaffe caught Nchimunya, the Spanners goalie off guard and kissed the back of the net 1-0 to Young bloods.

Spanners tried to come back to the game but it was just not their day as Young bloods were all over them like a rash and they increased their lead in the 30^th minute, when Jaffe made a darting run on the wing and made a beauty of a cross, Malik seeing the goalkeeper off his line controlled the ball and slotting the onrushing Nchimunya who was having a bad day at the office. The first half concluded with Bloods enjoying a two goal lead.

The second half began on a slow pace but picked up as the minutes progressed with Bloods proving to everyone why they are the defending Double champions, with the hard working Willy at the belly of the park, the ever running Jaffe and their playmaker Isaack teaching Spanners a good football lesson. Isaack who was having the game of his life on his debut for Bloods was magnificent in that play making role, dictating terms and controlling the pace of the game, with the likes of Suku and Shabik eating humble pie.

Coming back to the game, Spanners to their credit didn’t seat back but they kept on pushing to decrease the deficit and they did pull a goal back, when Sangu with his Usain Bolt pace outran the Bloods defence and crossed the ball for Gift who finished off under pressure from the Bloods defence.

It looked like Spanners were coming back to the game, as they created some chances but good goalkeeping from School team 1^S choice goalkeeper Philo and poor finishing let them down and they were made to pay for  that when Bloods made it 3-1 through Malik, who received a pass from a teammate and upon receiving the ball turned Jim inside out and coolly slotted the ball to the back of the net….what a way to score a goal on your debut, salute Malik, the star in the making.

It looked like it would be a high scoring game, as Spanners never gave up and kept on pushing for the second goal to try and get back to the game and it came through their best player of the day, the Pastor Gift Chisala, who scored his second goal of the day 3-2, dynamites do come in small packages and Mr Chisala is testament to that.

But Bloods were not just about done and they scored their fourth goal of the game from a nice cross of kiplimo in which Rono slotted a powerful volley and from there it became hard for Spanners to come back, until the referee blew his final whistle ending the game and Bloods leaving with all the three points firmly in the bag……what a game!! .
