The second game of the Flipper Trophy Knockout Tournament was played on Sunday 29th August 2010.


Players and officials stood around the centre circle to observe the one minute silence.


Shortly after kick-off Robert Yon of the Harts was blown up for hand-ball whereby a free kick was taken by Retards’ Denny Leo.


Very early into the game a good effort was made by Jeffrey Stroud of the Harts, but this was saved by Retards goal-keeper Paul ‘Kelly’ Thomas.


Darrell ‘Punch’ Henry took a shot at the goal, but went straight to the goal-keeper’s hands.


Eugene Bennett did a ‘loop’ shot towards the goal, but unfortunately it bounced and went too high over the bar.


Dane Wade crossed the ball to Nicky John who headed it straight to the hands of Harts goal-keeper Robert ‘Pucktoo No. Three’ George.


A free kick was taken by Adrian ‘Kenny’ Henry who did a good long range shot, but was saved by the Harts goal-keeper.


Denny Leo did a pass to Schmichael who did a header, but was again saved by the goal-keeper.


The Retards almost made a score whereby a long range shot was taken and Robert ‘Pucktoo’ came out to meet it, but missed and Michael Yon of the Harts team chased it managing to kick it out in good time.


Daniel Yon took a long range shot, but it went out wide of the goal.


A good effort was also made by Aaron peters who took a long range shot, but it went out wide of the goal.


Schmichael Benjamin saw a chance and ‘hammered’ the ball into the goal, finally scoring for the Retards.  He got ambitious and shortly after took another shot, but this time the goal-keeper cleared it.


Ian Prickit did a brilliant pass to Dane Wade who took a shot at the goal, but unfortunately it went out wide off the goal.


Carlyn Yon tried a long rang shot, but was saved by the goal keeper.


Eugene Bennett did an excellent pass to Leroy Hudson who took a shot, but just missed the goal slightly.


A free kick was taken by Mario Williams who took a long range shot that was stopped by the goal-keeper and then slipped through his hands, but was recovered immediately after.


Jeffrey Stroud took a good long range shot but this was stopped by a header from Anthony George and a clearing shot from Ian Prickit as the Retards fought hard to keep their place in the tournament.


The final whistle blew and roars went up from the Retards Fans.


Please note that the Retards play the Wanderers on Sunday 5th September 2010 at 1600 hours.
