The day began crisp and glowing
Can the team’s form keep flowing
Schumann’s banter was mind-blowing
Time to get going

Spalding was wet, cold and grey
And changing was in a café…
We could no longer turnaway
This is judgement day!

Alas the game begins
We quickly paid for our sins
Diving in, cost us wins

In went goals 1, 2 and 3
South’s true quality was hard to see
Comeback equivalent of climbing Mauna Kea
Half time talk – let’s do A.B.C.

“These guys are *hit”
Made us want to throw a fit
How dare they say it
We will make them look a hypocrite

Ref blew one early whistle
But also gave their player a dismissal
Ed then sent a no.5 missile
South were now Spalding’s thistle

Now Ed has done it again
We are causing quite a pain
A team no-one can contain
All aboard the Schu Schu train

The third goal was in touching distance
They offered much resistance
One goal disallowed with subsistence
Despite our insistence

Away to Spalding and lose 4-2
No need to feel subdue
But we will review
And wonderfully the lemon is Schu

Finally the MOM was debutant Richer
He can fill the next beer pitcher
