Brentford
0 Irons 9 - 02/07/00
The Hammers pulled
off another comprehensive victory in West London this morning with
a nine goal mauling of new boys Brentford.
Brentford, one of
the latest teams to join the internet football circus were never
in the game as the Irons strength and guile overcame the youth and
persistance of the home side.
Six goals to the
good at the break, the Irons stepped off the pedal in the second
half as the home side bravely made a game of it. However, the
outcome was never in doubt as the Hammers rattled in three more
goals to earn a well deserved victory.
We all arrived well
in time for the somewhat early 10.30am kick off - all except poor
Russell who decided to walk from the nearest train station. What
he didn't realise was that is was four miles from the ground,
hence his arrival halfway through the first half.
So with only nine
Irons at the off, we borrowed a couple of the Brentford lads to
make a side up. But it wasn't long before the Hammers took the
lead - the first of several excellent corners from Raisters was
nodded home at the far post.
After that it was
West Ham all the way. The Brentford lads were all on the young
side and more often than not came out second best in the 50/50's,
which gave us superiority in possession and the opportunity to
pepper the home goal with shots.

Unlike last week at
Gillingham we managed to turn these into goals - six of them in
fact by the break. That was the cue for a few changes which
actually worked against us as we took our foot of the pedal, and
Brentford came close on several occasions to breaking their duck.
However, we remained
steadfast and resolute and a quick break on the right side
culminated in our seventh goal, which was the signal for the white
flag from the home side. Robbie O decided he'd had enough and let
Darren have a run out on pitch, during which time we managed to
knock in a couple more.
Down the pub after
the game with the Brentford lads; very nice too, especially the
two blonde sorts strategically positioned in front of our table.
Anyway, all in all another good away day for the Irons, and
another three points for our dismally low league total.
Next week we'll be
entertaining Ipswich (well as long as we can find a pitch) in the
last of our Worldnet warm-up games.
