I travelled to Hampshire yesterday to watch Bath City play Eastleigh in what was a very entertaining game of football. Here’s a brief summary of the major events.

9 min – City find themselves 1-0 down
11 min – Our misery is compiled when Eastleigh’s lead is doubled to 2-0
21 min – City fans are given glimmer of hope when a penalty is awarded. Dave Gilroy converts it - 2-1
25 min – The joy is short lived when Eastleigh regain their 2 goal advantage. 3-1.
60 min – Any hopes of getting a result are dealt a major blow when a Bath City player is sent off.
65 min – Game on! Bath City hero, Chris Holland, heads home a goal to make it 3-2.
75 min – The moment we thought it was well and truly over... Eastleigh get a fourth. 4-2
86 min – Dave Gilroy sends the City fans wild by scoring a wonder goal. 4-3. Too little, too late???
89 min – Apparently not. City are awarded a second penalty. Gilroy converts. Claims his hat trick. City fans, players and management go mental. 4-4.

3-1 and you fucked, sorry, “messed” it up!

The funniest moment of the day came when a certain City player yelled instructions to his team mate while pointing to one of Eastleigh’s more dangerous looking players “C’mon Geth - snap the fuckers legs!”. What great sportsmanship. His mother was stood close by. She must be so proud.
