The Mighty 4s Roar Again

After a run of nine straight defeats in which the Sils scored just 7 while conceding a staggering 65 the Mighty 4s enjoyed their first taste of victory with a delicious 7-4 win against Warwick.

At half time Captain Fantastic had a flash of inspiration and changed the defensive formation from 1-3-1 to a winning flat back 4. Yes, I know the numbers don’t add up but that’s the genius of his magic! It didn’t stop there. A three card trick apiece from Super Sam and Awesome Andy sealed the deal. Steve brought a completely new meaning to hairodynamics and little Charley Russell was just brilliant.

Having clawed our way off the bottom of the table we are now only 10 points behind second place Hampton and the West Midlands Premier beckons!

This Saturday we are up against Bromsgrove, a rather unremarkable town, and it’s only their 4s, so nothing to fear. (The fact that their 5s beat us 5-1 in a pre-season friendly is irrelevant!)

The question is can Dave pull another rabbit out of the hat?
Is Andy still on fire?
Will the returning prodigal take over from where Sam left off?
Will a week’s growth slow Steve down?
Will Charley ‘russell’ up another great performance?

To find out get to the Sils early on Saturday to bag a good spot on the terrace to watch the drama unfold. The 4s are roaring again.
