Two in the tower as Boston draw in London

London UFC 4-4 BUFCBoston were on their travels again today and went to see the sights with a coach tour of London before our game. Little did we realise two of our players would be in the dungeons of the Tower before we left..!!!London controlled the early part of the game and their striker, Strider put them ahead on 12 minutes. However BUFC were not phased at all and quickly struck back when Bimbo grabbed the equaliser in the 17th minute. This was quickly followed by probably the best move of the game on 25 mins, when Gav played in Phoenix with a nice, diagonal pass, who immediately squared it to Bimbo to side foot home and give us a 2-1 lead.We werent finished there and Bimbo returned the favour by passing to Phoenix on the edge of the six-yard box to score easily on 36 minutes. Things were going really well, until as half-time approach Mickey remembered he still had revision to do for his exam tomorrow and right in front of the Clamper, hacks down a London midfielder! Instant red card and Mickey rushes to the dressing room to get his head into his books!!! en man Boston battle through most of the second half until Biceps, the old, grey haired London midfielder showed his skills by running almost the length of the field to make it 3-2 on 61 minutes. Then more midfield madness occurs on 73 minutes, when our recent signing Undo announces his presence with a crunching tackle on Alibek, the London defender. Once again you can rely on Clamper and sure enough BUFC go down to nine men! Obviously something was said between the players and straight from the free-kick NumbNutz chopped the cocky London player down again! The Boston manager had his head in his hands as the teams discipline was falling apart, but fortunately this time NN just picked up a yellow from the Clamper.Nine man Boston were suddenly on the back foot and with ten minutes to go London took the lead with two quick goals from J Hung making 4-3 to London. The travelling fans couldnt believe it, just like our last game it looked like we could lose a game that we had previously been winning comfortably. BUFC however secured a point when in the dying moments, Bimbo grabbed a late equaliser to make it a battling 4-4 draw, away with only nine men on the field.
Phoenix got the man of the match award for his silky passing and positional play. We managed to bail Mickey and Undo out of the Tower before we left and both sat red-faced on the back seat all the way home. At least we hope the extra revision time helped Mickey in his exam!!!
