It was billed as creative flair versus strategic nous. Those blokes in jeans and trainers versus those guys in suits. It was a hard fought match… for fifty minutes the game was too close to call, but a late flurry by Creative sealed victory for the boys with Macs and sent the PC guys running home with their tails between their legs.

With the help of some Precision Burner energy drinks saved up from a pitch for EAS… Creative were primed to take this game by the horns from the kick off. But credit to Account Handling… they were more than our equal for a long time and even took the lead a few times which only spurred on my brave warriors… dressed in black and playing like footballing Ninjas… we raised our game and produced some wonderful flowing football.

With Copywriter, Stuart Clark, pulling the strings in midfield and Senior Artworker, Lee Fairhurst, firing in a string of long range efforts from the right wing… Creative time and time again kept in touch with their foes. Yet it was the banshee like screams of Account Director, Steve White, that drove Account Handling on… and his side did not disappoint as Leigh, Tom, Mustafa and Mark combined time and time again to fire into the back of our net… with one particularly lovely shot by Tom beating my good self during my stint in goal.

Cheer up Keith, you just scored a beauty

Yet the ‘Teen Wolf’ like skills of artworker Keith Pleasant foxed the defensive play of Account Handling to produce a string of lovely goals. Whilst at the other end, Copywriter Joe Reaney stunned us all with  game-winning saves that frustrated the boys in suits… who weren’t in suits… if you get my meaning!

Together with some quality goal-hanging goals by my good self we took hold of the game with ten minutes to go and racked up 5 goals in the last 10 minutes… could it have been the unique chemical mixture of our EAS energy drinks that gave us the edge!

It’s safe to say the score does not reflect the close nature of the game… and at the final whistle… both sides walked off the pitch with a great deal of mutual respect for each other.

Which leaves me with one last thing to say to my good friends in Account Handling…
