Premier League Kicks Off - Barbarians 1 - 0 Sexy FC . Match Report 17.09.11
The Premier League kicked off with the Barbars A taking all 3 points from Sexy FC. It wasn't a pretty game but the result was the most important factor. Sexy FC have always provided some tough competition and this game was no different. The Barbars line up was similar to the cup game against Russians with the exception of Keith having to play Goal Keeper in the absence of Carlos M. Which meant that Andrew and Laurence were paired in the centre backs positions and Phil came back in left back. We also welcomed back Kenny Baines to right back.
