The
first final of the day was the Wooden Spoon Final
as the two teams would battle it out for the coveted
prize of literally a wooden spoon!
The
two teams on show were Paris St Gentleman and
Taylor's Tits. Despite being in the Wooden Spoon
these two teams were pretty decent sides and we
were looking forward to a cracking final. Paris
St Gentleman had stormed into the Final with a
6-0 win. Taylor's Tits had two disappointing results
first up but their last two group games showed
improvement and progression which culminated in
their Semi-Final win. A continuation of this trend
could see them take glory here.
The
game started with defences on top as both teams
battled valiantly but were unable to find the
breakthrough. We kicked off the second half still
at 0-0 and just one half left for the teams to
decide their fate today. We often mention how
crucial first goals in games can be and they can
so often be decisive as it dictates the pattern
for the rest of the game. Paris St Gentleman claimed
it through Colum Ferguson. Taylor's Tits would
now have to attack and take more and more chances
to try and find an equalizer. Inevitably gaps
appear at the other end and if the opposition
can capitalize on the counter then they can finish
games off. That's what happened here as Danny
Jones made it 2-0 and sealed the win.
Our
commiserations go to Taylor's Tits and our congratulations
go to Paris St Gentleman as winners of the 2014
Mallorca Tournament Wooden Spoon. |
