The Mighty Shrimpers came into this game looking to crush lowly Vale into the Roots Hall dust. Prawn Connery reports, with Wendy Prawniwell storming the North Bank with her Rock Choir Crew, also Fish Walsh and James Anchovy partaking hospitality down to Fish’s sponsorship of Demi’s away kit.
First half it’s Big Willy Atko back in, with FerdsinNados, and Blues are nodding off, Vale can’t believe their luck, Demi heads off the line after Coxy misses a sitter. Zero shots and corners for the Blues. Halfo 0-0 luckily. Prawn goes for a pie. Wendy wobbles her tonsils with the halftime Choir Chorus.
Second half and nowt changes so on come McGash and Theo Rollmop. But it’s Eagle who swoops for a header for 1-0 Vale. Where’s the defence? This wakes Blues up! Finally we’re getting some width. Five mins later Cokes crosses for the Poet to score, Wordsworth 1-1. Blues push on but have no end result and it fizzles out to a draw.
Prawn, Fish and James frustrated, reckon Lenny MOTM with Demi and Cokes in the running. Blues now 4 points off the pace, Millscum score late to win.
