The Big Match

A few (!) photos of the wedding of Oscarinho and Miss Uzu for those who couldn't make the journey to Alicante for their match on the 1st July and those who drank too much and can't remember...

On the morning of his wedding, Oscarinho unsuccessfully tries to dress himself (look at his shirt).





Miss Uzu manages to dress herself without mishap and laughs at her soon-to-be husband's shirt-wearing attempt.








Miss Uzu: 'Has anybody seen my passport?'

Oscarinho: 'She won't be needing this anymore'







FIRST HALF: THE CEREMONY

















HALF-TIME: THE PHOTO-SHOOT


SECOND HALF: THE WEDDING FIESTA










POST-MATCH COMMENTARY:

Overall, it was a good match with no major incidents to stop the flow of the game and plenty of support turned out for both sides. With kick-off in the heat of the afternoon, both kept their composure well managing to hold their shape and play hard for possession. Oscarinho almost turned up to the game wearing inappropriate kit (see shirt photo) and Miss Uzu nearly didn't finish the game due to injury when she almost fell down the stairs at the restaurant (she blamed her footwear but the Flea and Oscarinho, the sole witnesses, blamed the alcohol).

Despite having to play through extra-time (the beach party), both sides made it to the end of the match having shown a good account of themselves, content to settle for a deserved draw (and to save the penalty shoot-out for the bedroom). It remains to be seen who will take the role of the domestic sweeper system following this match which ties the two together in a new team:

PS - The Fabras are flanked by the next two protagonists to clash in a derby match, Gran Jose and La Susita.

PPS - Special mention to El Tupe/El Pulpo for attempting to carry on playing as a one man team at Stereo, after all others had left the match. What commitment! Unfortunately, he was red-carded by the barmaid for lack of coordination and sent home for an early shower.

PPPS - Oscarinho scored no penalties on his wedding night because he and his new wife slept in different houses. The Flea confirms he shared a room with Oscarinho on the night in question and that no 'own goals' were scored either.
