The Vader’s came unstuck against league leaders the Saints in what turned out to be a match with only one real team on the field. The 3-0 score line flattered the Saints and The Vader’s put in a solid performance and should take some positives from the game.
From the kickoff as expected every ball was being aimed at their main man Jordan who had The Hambone to contend with. With the Vaders doing all the attacking the first goal for the Saints came against the run of play when Powys had to come across to cover and unfortunately gave Saints’s top scorer too much space and he rattled the top corner of Jimbob’s goal with a stunning strike.
The Vader’s continued to push forward using the flanks and were still creating chances. Cock of the Week Rob Boydell was busy squandering set piece opportunities from left and was under no illusion that he would take no further part in the second half.
The second half kicked off as the first finished with the Vader’s creating all the chance but not able to convert them past the Welsh league goalkeeper. Lee Nicholas replaced the injured Leigh “k-swiss” James who had just been injured going into a clattering tackle with a midfielder.
With the Vader’s pushing forward the Saint’s grabbed a second goal and with only 22 minutes of the game remaining it looked unlikely this was going to be the Vader’s day.
The Saint’s managed a third just before the death and the game ended in disappointment for the Vader’s who are still looking for a third place finish in their first season.
A big game next Sunday against local rivals St Pats with more than 3 points on the line.
Man of the Match: Lee Isaac

Quote of the Day: Hambone for a change – After Powys stated two of the goals he felt responsible for “ow don’t say that, get your arse off your cock and shove it in the air like”
