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.

The Barbarians showed once again that this defence is comfortable playing football out of the back and in parts looked good again. Overall the 1st half was a scrappy affair with the midfield finding it tough going to connect the forwards. This was largely due to the confusion with Sexy front line skipping from 2 to 3 forward constantly.

Stewart, Giambattista and Nathan all did good jobs breaking up anything down the middle. The first half was most notable for Keith "The Badger's" efforts in goal having to spring into action to flick a couple of shots over the bar and then a fantastic leap to push the ball onto the post with the hairs on his wrist. Amazing!

Kevin's remarkable run of form continues as he notched another goal from Henry Manuel's corner. A real up and under cross was met by one of Kevin's heads. A good finish from a player who has now scored two on the bounce. 1.0 Barbarians. The half came to close shortly after Kev dazzled everybody with an amazing cross, across his own goal! These things can't be coached and can only be found in the Kevin Plumbe locker of tricks.

The second half had a little more spice as some of the new lads began to understand what it means to the Club to beat Sexy FC In particular we enjoyed the tousle between Dale Wong and Sexy's Dave Vaughn. Dale needed no encouragement to continually boot and pull Dave around the pitch in response to Vaughns hand bag tactics. It was fitting to see Dave Vaughn boot the Litter bin as he come off! Dale defo got in his head!

Now whilst Sexy did pile on the pressure the Barbarians defense and GK held up well and the defending started from upfront with the running of Dirk. A solid start has to be said for Henry at right back too.

Man of the Match went to Kev for his game winning Header with Keith getting a good number of votes for his bravery in goal! Quality stuff.

Next up Africa............
