The Dockers played host at the Trafalgar Ground to league leaders LA aka the Marigolds. The hosts were hoping to make it 4 wins in a row but that looked unlikely as the visitors were 2 goals up after 7, yes seven, minutes. Oops.
After that it all got a bit strange. Unknown to everyone else, the ref had just teleported in from the Twilight Zone where the rules appear to be a little bit different. It kept everyone on their toes and, bless him, he can't help it if yellow is his favourite colour.
The Dockers got back into their usual stride eventually and found themselves leading 3-2 with goals from Jallow, Franzen-Jones and Watson. To celebrate they passed back to a Marigold who was about 10 yards offside. 3-3. Doh!
A point gained against tough opposition or 2 points lost to a mistake. Don't care, it was exciting stuff.
And the ferry arrived on time. Hooray!
A special mention has to go to the LA no. 11 who bravely saved a shot with no gloves on. Bet that made his hands sting a bit.
One question, would if be a local derby if LA FC played LA Galaxy?
POTM: Newhaven manager, for unrewarded persistence in explaining the actual rules to the ref.
Back soon hopefully
