MATCHDAY 9FULL TIMETERREBUS FC 1-4 POLAR INSTITUTE(R. Scott 47’ (OG))THE LEAGUE IS BACK! The lads finally took to the pitch today for the first time in months, but a cold-hearted response from last-in-the-league Polar Institute left Terrebus’s league prospects once more on thin ice.Recent Instagram posts show certain unnamed players taking advantage of the tuberculosis quarantine to perfect their gardening skills and nurture their sourdough starters. Perhaps they should have spent a little more time on the pitch, as Terrebus looked all at sea throughout the entire match.Ever-reliable Polar midfielder Oates opened up the scoring for the visitors in the twentieth minute, knocking home a header from a carelessly conceded corner. Just after the break an own goal from Polar Institute’s magnetic captain Scott offered a spot of hope for the embattled Terrebites, but it was soon quashed by a veritable blizzard of goals by Polar winger Cherry-Garrard, beginning with a clinical free kick that left John Bridgens rooted helplessly to terra.Cherry-Garrard’s second goal proved contentious, as in the lead-up to the goal his teammate Evans’s wrist appeared to have made contact with the ball. In the ensuing uproar, no fewer than three Terrebus players saw red—quite literally, as Cornelius Hickey, Magnus Manson, and Tom Hartnell were all unceremoniously sent off. Terrebus’s board would like to assure their fans that they intend to appeal all three bookings and are confident of their success.As the three men made the worst journey in the world down the tunnel, Captain Crozier stepped up to advocate for them (or admonish them, by all accounts it was difficult to tell exactly which). He himself was shown his fourth yellow of the season- risky business all around as a fifth could mean a multiple-game suspension for our stalwart captain. The result leaves Terrebus in eleventh place, three spots from the bottom and certainly the furthest south they’ve been thus far. Still, with seventeen more games in the season and all to play for, the lads can only hope on, hope ever for better days to come.It saddens us to add insult to injury, but it appears that during the emergency team meeting that occurred immediately afterward, the Man of the Match trophy was apparently broken. The Man of the Match award will return once we have procured a suitable replacement, or some duct tape. -- source link
