With 4 new guys in the line-up and Bondo having had a full pre-season, hopes were high for the 1000+ Shrimpers who travelled to Coventry Birmingham.
Slight surprise to see Humpfrys on the bench and Theo starting, no surprise to see Mighty Milligan as Capitano. And no Dru as he’s seen at Brentfudd game.
First half is a horrible throwback to last season with Cov running the show, hitting the post, Ox making saves, Blues with no shots on target. Halfo 0-0.
Second half and Hutch comes on but Cov still on top, they score on 51mins. 1-0 Cov. Hump and Coxy come on and Blues come into the game, LochNessy heads wide, Ralphy has a header saved, and Hump heads against the bar. But no cigar as Blues start the season with a loss.
