Queens' 1 Churchill 1

Honourable result, but a draw between 2 of big guns in the MCR virtually gifts the league title to Jesus (as long as they overcome corpus, catz and selwyn which they are very likely to).
It was a close tight game with very few chances, though we were controlling possession in the first half and went 1-0 up thanks to a Matt Wells goal which owed more to poor keeping than good shooting, but they all count! We had a few other chances in the first half but couldn't make any of them count but churchill were working hard to close down space and make it difficult, and the referee wasn't helping (but i'll moaning about the ref for later...).
Second half started well, we were playing nice football and churchill weren't doing much and we had a good disallowed for offside (very late, and wrong, call!!!)
and then came the incident which ruined the game, when the referee (who had for some reason decided to ignore fouls for most of the game and instead focus his attention on booking people for dissent, hence people were getting more annoying at his lack of decision making!!) decided to send off Paul and one of the churchill players for pushing. Normally, a good referee in a college game would defuse the situation with talking to both players and captains and asking for peace, but no, straight away, the referee went to his pocket without thinking and them both off.
After this, straight away, churchill equalised from a cross and we defended well for the last 30mins to keep them at bay, though injuries caused us to lose our shape and we didn't pose enough attacking threat.
In end, a draw reflected the game play, though if the referee wouldn't have made that error, i think we would have held on a victory....

Team: Dan C, Pete, Me, Adrien, Simon, Matt W, Dan B, Paul, Stefan, Tom, Gabriel, Bob, Dan S.

Goal: Matt Wells

Bookings: Me, Dan B,... lost count
Sending off: Paul

P.s. Refs name was Daniele Dosi and he certainly was (he even had the temerity to turn up late and not bring a watch to the game). I would not recommend him...
