22 Sep 2007: Lisbon St Antonys 8-8 Culcheth+Lisbon (HT 5-2)

Culcheth Athletic turned up short-handed, with only 6 players – not enough to have an official game so the Lisbon coaches decided to offer them a friendly match. We lent them three players in each half, making it a 9 v 9 game and in fact for some of the second half they had four of our players (including Hanifa who got bored being on the winning team and swapped sides) and we were outnumbered but at least our defence got some practise at being under pressure!
