4th game in the playoff mini league saw the Mighty Shrimpers travel to Boreham, who take their name way too literally. Murphy starts in front of at least 850 Shrimpers who make up at least half of the attendance…
First half and both teams have chances but the Blues just can’t hit the target, Arnie saving well as it ends halfo 0-0.
Second half and both keepers are saving well again, before Tom Daley is well tackled by Kensdale in the box and then performs a superb front somersault to try for a top score and a penalty. The referee is not fooled and runs over to book the Wood forward for simulation. OOOPS actually he has a good long think about it and awards a gold medal to Daley and a penalty to Wood on 75mins. Another joke decision, which Brunt slots home. Blues don’t give up and get a penalty for handball minutes later as the ref tries to even things up after seeing the dive on Twitter. But Jack Bridge has the pen saved and Blues draw a blank again.
Blues finish the mini league on nil points.
