I Want One Of Those Blog

Last night, the cream of IWOOT’s athletic contingent (the least unhealthy, in other words) took on the formidable might of Thumbs Up, one of our lovely suppliers in a charity football match for Children In Need. It goes without saying that it was a sporting encounter comparable with the big leagues, and a jolly old time was had by all at the Norbury Powerleague Centre.

The most important thing to note is that we won, 11-10, after being 4-1 and 7-2 down at certain points, so it really was a valiant effort from our own little Carlos Valderramas.

 

Here’s a convenient list of match facts:

• IWOOT’s team was made up of Ben (scored 4), Sergio, Simon, Neil (scored 3), Neil and Paul (also scored 3), with lady support from Melissa, Wanessa and Jo.
• One of our goals was an own goal from Thumbs Up. Whoopsie!
• Simon grazed his knee quite badly (see below).
• Ben was awarded a shiny medal for being Man Of The Match.
• Sergio moaned before, during and after the game, and also brought a dressing gown with him for the shower.
• Post-match, everyone went for a slap-up Mexican meal courtesy of Thumbs Up – big thanks to them for being such great sports and giving us such a good game!
