It was a night to remember as Almaty Athletic recorded their highest ever victory in their short history in what can only be described as a demolishion!
Things didn't look good for Almaty as Billy "damn that ankle" Murphy and Marco "must have gone to Rod Stewart also" Machado cried off in the afternoon. This caused a headache for Gaffer as he was down to a squad of 5. Rather than cutting of his nose despite his face Gaffer reluctantly made a call to John "Rebel" Murphy who gladly accepted the olive branch. He also made contact with Gary "The Ox" O'Herlihy who impressed in recent Sun footie games.
With Phil "Unpuctual" Smith running late the team started with John in goal, Dawse, Spratt and Dave Smith in defence, Gav in centre with Gary up front. It wasn't long before Almaty found themselves 3-0 thanks to a well-deserved hat-trick from Gary "give me the ball and I'll score" O'Herlihy. Eager to close the gap on the top scorer charts Gav "Crouchy" Jeffers bagged his hat-trick. Gary got a fourth shortly before half-time to make it 7-0 at the break.
Conscious of increasing their goal difference the message at the interval was to be ruthless! To silence his critics Phil "Yes, he can score!" Smith grabbed Almaty's 8th 5 mins into the second half. "It is a weight off my shoulders to be honest with you" commented Smith. Gary got another to make it 9... Gav got his 4th to make it 10... Dawson got two to make it 12... Majestic got their consolation goal... Phil incredibly got a second to make it 12... Gary then sealed his double hat-trick to make it 13 - lucky for some!
It was a near flawless display but lets be honest about it the opposition were pretty crap except for yellow boots. Credit must be given to John "safer than safehands?" Murphy who put in a fine display in goal and was unlucky not to keep a clean-sheet.
The only bad news of the night was that FC Miracle beat Gliebenhagg 4-1 to maintain their two point lead over Almaty. Despite this Almaty fans will be pleased to know that the team have an insurmountable goal difference over FC Miracle (33 versus 22) which could prove vital if FC Miracle were to draw a game.
