| The Totton Town website writers ended their 6 week strike today after receiving a handwritten apology from chairman Glenn Baker regarding the abismal performances of late and a promise that things would get better. The writers held a meeting that ran into the early hours and have agreed terms. TTFC have a regular updated website once more. The chairman was true to his word with Totton Town comfortably beating Netley Central by two goals to nil. ''Probably the best alround performance thisseason'' Commented Glenn Baker after the game. ''That'll give em something to write about!'' The game kicked off with a confident TT who took the game to the home team and dominated the play in every postion. The first chance of the game fell to Leathen Hanlon who was slotted through by Dan Gain with a well weighted pass. Hanlon decided to strike early with his left only to find the keeper anticipating his intention and collecting the ball with ease. As time went on TT looked like a different team from past performances. The back line were inspirational and dealt with everything in a no nonsense fashion. Sam Payne lead by example. ''Ye,, Sam had something to prove today. He was stripped of his captains arm band before the game and threw his shirt down in disgust. I knew he would react.'' Added Ross Baker. The first goal came from Liam Hanlon with an incredible solo effort. Liam took the ''ball'' by the horns and won two challanges after rounding three players before slotting the ball neatly past the keeper. ''The goal was raw genius'' remarked Glenn Baker. Fox in the box Matt Froukians was the second goal scorer of the game and manouved himself to strike the ball through a crowd which found the back of the net. For the work rate Matt has shown this season a goal is the least he deserves. Hopefully the Fox will be on the prowl in the next game. Froukhians and Gain linked up superbly in the center. The second half saw TT produce a variety of chances that never mounted to a change in scoreline. The backline provided such reassurance that TT never looked like hanging onto their lead. Ben and Leathen continued their tiffs on the left. ''It's like they are a married couple or two grumpy old men'' Glenn Baker. Fans favourite Ross Baker came on today for the last 15 minutes. He lead by example and expressed the passion of a spartan. It was a truely RRRRRRoaring display by Baker who intimidated the Netley Central players and even silenced the capacity crowd of 10 towards the end of the game. Glenn Baker added ''Ross is like the football equivalent of Monica Seles, always grunting... i don't know...each to his own.'' Every player for TT today performed well and the league is back in contention. It's in our hands now. ''UP SHE GOES!!'' |
