Bimbo's end of season review

It was a difficult season for Boston with a fixture list that saw us piggybacking CrashBiskuit throughout, so many of our opponents held back on them, before exerting themselves against us. Even so BUFC ended in a very respectable top-10 position by finishing in 8th place, with 51 points.Overall we won 15; drew 6; and lost 13; our Goals for = 99 and Goals against = 82; giving us a positive GD of +17. Top scorer for the season was your reporter and yours truly, Bimbo with 51 to his name. Phoenix was close behind, scoring 40 and our midfield duo of Duly (RIP) and Gav got 3 each, while Mickey chipped in with 2.Meanwhile our keeper, Gunny, ably assisted by the BUFC defence, kept 4 clean sheets this season and we had a pretty good disciplinary record too. Iama picked up most cards, with 3 x Yellows; NN  2Y; Bimbo  1Y + 1R; Mickey, AJ, Gav & Undo  1R each; and Gunny & HD  1Y each.
Sadly, this season saw the departure of two loyal Bostonians, as first our Italian midfield maestro, Gennaro and then the long-standing Duly, who had been at the club from the start, went inactive on us. Id personally like to thank them both for their efforts on behalf of the club and Im sure we all appreciate the contribution they made to get Boston into the position we are now!Their departure though saw the arrival of two new midfielders at BUFC in the shape of Undo and his MF partner, Kithy  who also brought her pan with her to add to the teams weapons cabinet! We welcome them to the club and hope they enjoy a long and illustrious career in the strengthening Boston MF!
We started the season badly (again!) with a record that went L; W; L; L; L; W; L, culminating in an 8-1 defeat by Tank away, our worst result. However, we reversed the score-line in our best win of the season, beating WidowMakers 8-1 away. We also beat London 7-1 at home, but for me personally one of the most memorable games was our 2-2 draw away to the Toon. This game saw Gunny get her bat out and concede three penalties, and she then went on to save each one of them!As the season came to a close, we went on a late run; winning seven of our last ten matches, which saw us rise from our long-held 11th spot to our final 8th place. Well-played everyone and looking forward now to an even better performance in the new season before us! Cmon Boston..!!! We are United..!!!
