A Friday evening game under the floodlights against a team with a long history and a loyal support: The Shire.
The Shire brought with them one of the largest supports we have seen against the Colts. They brought some atmosphere, some humour and a longer half time queue for the pies and bovril. I have to admit that it was refreshing to see the Shire fans standing at the end of the game to applaud their team from the pitch despite the fact that the Shire only managed a draw against a team that they probably expected to beat. That is the kind of support that I hope we can build for the Colts: supportive and appreciative.
Actually, it was the Colts that did provide the more entertaining football: a creative, passing game. The Shire relied more on the long ball and physical strength. If it wasn't for a couple of errors then the Colts could have taken all three points.
