Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

I Don't Need a Lot for Christmas...

 

To paraphrase that great sage Mariah Carey, "all I want for Christmas is a home win for the Superwhites against the Tractor Boys." Yes, it's a big seasonal clash this morning, with six big points in the Championship on the line. If we win, we can close the gap with Ipswich to seven points. A draw keeps us 10 points behind them - not good enough. A loss, though, would mean a 13 point gap going into the New Year, an unassailable gap between the teams. So, come on, you Whites! #MOT!!

Nice overlap there through Spence - that's his strength bombing forward.

YESSSSSS!!!!!

Pascal Struijk, our skipper, nods home right on the line after Piroe pulls a save out the keeper.

1-0 Whites!

Great break there but DJ should have crossed rather than taking the low percentage shot.

Great ball in from DJ but no one was following in. That's the problem with playing Rutter as the #9.

Phew! Broadhead whistles a shot just wide of the mark. Not sure Meslier was getting to that one.

Halfway through the first half and we're still leading 1-0. Really strong performance so far against a really good team.

We're 2-0 up as our old friend Leif Davis turns into his own net!

Oh - Conor Chaplin rifles one off the upright - Meslier was nowhere near that one.
