DATE 4th Apr 2004
OPPOSITION Golden Bottle
GROUND Away

With the season drawing to a close and with about 9 games still to play, the First's today had a double header.

Todays game saw Mark Niblett play his 100th League and Cup game for The Argonauts.  With the absence of regular players Neil, Jason & Manager Rob, we saw First Team starts for Adam Clifford & Ben Tuck, each having a long run out.

With the date being 04-04-04, you might have thought the game's might have been a 0-4 loss or a 4-4 draw, but both games ended up as a 1-0 loss.   I think 4 had something to do in the games outcome, as both games were lost in the last few minutes, who know's even with 4 minutes to go.  We didn't deserve to lose either game, Dave Willett tackling in the box to give Golden Bottle a pen in the first game, and a George Mullholland defensive error late in the second game.  We also had four sub's.  It was a tough game, in the 2nd game we probably had are best chances, with a long range shot from Kev going just wide, and a header (see pic) from George from the 6yrd box. 

Dave Willett won both MOM, with Andrew Procter in the 2nd game coming close to getting it with a good first midfield performance for us.
