Any match involving the teachers is usually an exciting game of football... but today's match is the exception that proves the rule. With 8S resorting almost exclusively to route one when in possession and doing everything possible to (quite literally) knock the teachers out of their stride when defending, this match was not one of the most memorable. The teachers were less cohesive than usual - probably due to a very active summer in the transfer market - and this is a side that needs more time together to gel. 8S began better. Antonio F was close but his shot dribbled wide. Kevin, playing at full throttle all through the game, then put his team ahead. He was played in by Giovanni Z and his shot had enough pace and spin to get past Mr Martin.
The teachers woke up in the second half. Mr Piccolo's glancing header was close, but was, well, too glanced. Mr Alessandro did equalise though. Despite the strong attentions of Giovanni Z, he found enough space to shoot and the ball flew in! The match was not without its controversy: the teachers claimed two penalties - one for a handball and one for a ball kicked high over the south fence - but referee Corcoran denied both and was backed up by VAR.
