Dark clouds drift away to reveal sunshine
New season, fresh start, same division but not the same mistakes. This looked like a Khazboss side on a mission to put to bed the ghost of last season. The signs did not look good at the start; Gregory and Heron were both ruled out, the fixture list pitted Khazboss against Real Unicorn who were relegated last season by only a few points, Scott was recovering from a rib injury and then to top it all off, Cheverton pulled his ankle in the warm up and was unable to start. And yet Khazboss came out on fire. The Murphy brothers kept it tight at the back while Evan & John were linking up superbly. Real were no pushovers with some tough tackling and wicked shots, but Khazboss kept tight and fought for every ball. Despite the heroics of the Real keeper, Khazboss stormed into a 7-0 lead with some excellent interplay and classy goals. The only down point came when Scott took a strong challenge and appeared to aggrivate his rib. The injured Cheverton had to come on in his place and in the time it took to settle the team again, Real had pulled two goals back. But Khazboss settled quickly and with full concentration on the game right to the end, finished with a blitz of powerful shooting and a couple more goals. This was Khazboss on fire.

Verdict:
Worked like a team and reaped the rewards with a good great performance. Can they keep this going?

Ratings:
Charnock: 7 - Good organised display. Good distribution and made the few save required. Unlucky with the goals.
Ste Murphy: 8 - Back the form showed at the start of last season. Good tackling with a couple of goals chipped in.
Scott Murphy: 7 - Organised the team well from the back.
Evans: 9 - Scored some great goals and linked up with John really well. Star Man.
John: 8 - Another good effort for the team. Some great shooting and held position well.
Cheverton: 7 - Once settled, played a good holding position and unlucky not to score.
