Unfortunately for Bidborough, Claremont got off to a
flying start to the match on 17th November 1999, scoring 4 goals in
the first 10 minutes of the game
After all the Claremont attacking play the Bidborough goalie improved
thoughout the game, resulting in only 2 more goals in the 1st half.
This in spite of all the Claremont’s continued pressure and several attempts
at the Bidborough goal. At half time the Bidborough team were given a pep talk
by their coach, Mr Norris. The Claremont team given also a talk by their coach,
the referee for the match Ms Green.

Most
of the action was in the 2nd half. Bidborough began to put pressure
on Claremont. Even so Claremont still battled on, resulting in 3 more goals.
Claremont made several brave attempts at goal but missed. Defender Thomas
received a hit in the face by the football which knocked him clean off his
feet!!! He got up again very quickly and resumed play. Another injury was on the
goalie Nicky who received a sprain on his leg. Attacker Robert on the Bidborough
team made a good run to the Claremont half.
At 4.30 the FINAL WHISTLE BLEW!!!!!!! The teams went off for drinks and
biscuits.
