HOVEHATTER: SPIKE BOBBERMAN CUP WINNER 2020-21

[hatterinSW19]

The result:


Hovehatter 4 Ashfordhatter 2


Well, that was a cracking cup final to match the game on the pitch, with Hovehatter showing the same steely nerve as James Collins to snatch the win late-on.

With the game scoreless at the interval, Ashfordhatter edged into the lead with his half-time prediction of 1-1 and continued to hold the advantage until the 78th minute. We all know what happened then  . Hovehatter’s bold prediction of a Hatters’ win shot him into the lead and (aside from one nervy moment until the offside flag went up for Andre Gray) he romped home from that point on. Both players had Collins as a scorer for an extra point each.

Many congratulations to Hove, and commiserations to Ashford on losing out in such a competitive match.

So, a match worthy of a final decides the first Bobberman trophy of the season. Many thanks to everyone who took part to make it such an enjoyable competition. Looking forward already to 2021-22, when my greatest wish will be that penalty shoot-outs can once again be decided by the attendance figure.
