The First Half began evenly, here Daz brings the ball out defence to set up a Supporter's counterattack...

Image

Gradually, the Old Boy's professional skills began to tell, with neat passing cutting through the defence.

Image

The second goal of the day was a well taken placement by Dean Smith - the Supporters looking a bit despondent...

Image

The Old Boys begin to turn the screw and take charge, the ball being controlled by the dangerous number 9...

Image

A controversial penalty, dispatched ruthlessly.

Image

The Old Boys in full control as continual pressure tells with a succession of corners and flow of goals. Some goalmouth action from the rest of the first half.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Marshy skies one high over the bar (no-one's perfect) - although fans were thrilled to witness the legendary stepover on numerous occasions...

The Supporters threaten early in the second half...

Image

Both teams start brightly as a rainbow marks the end of a light rain shower.

Image

Stout defending by the Supporters denies the Old Boys an early reward.

Image

The Old Boys get to grips with the game again and take control of the midfield.

Image

Mark Taylor slots home a well crafted ball to resume the goal feast.

Image

The Supporters mount a rare attack - this effort going just wide.

Image

Clyde Winjhard was a threat all game and needed constant attention from the Supporter's defence.

Image

The ball nestles in the back of the net again as a player looks on forlornly. Quality will tell.

Image

The Supporters make a breakthrough and a goal! The immediate aftermath as the Old Boy's keeper is left stranded.

Image

Most of the action is still in front of the Supporter's goal however and brave defending is required to keep the score respectable.

Image

Another penalty given by Wiley - but this time the effort is pulled wide.

Image

The Supporters mount more attacks in the second half - the triumpherate of evil: Neil Ravenscroft, Tinned and Pedagogue can be seen looking on in the background.

Image

Another attack, and a cool finish as the ball is squeezed beneath the Old Boy keeper - but sadly ruled out for offside.

Image

An injury as Clyde Winjhard makes a robust but fair challenge on the Supporter's keeper - but the game was very sporting throughout.

Image

The Old Boy's dominance continues - this effort finishing wide of the goal.

Image

The replacement keeper takes everything as the Supporters jealously defend their goal.

Image

However the Old Boys get the last laugh as a sublime chip off the post ends the scoring. Final score 9-1.

The game was called to a halt by Alan Wiley and everyone shook hands.

Image

The match had been played in a great spirit of fair play.

Image

Image

Both sets of players showed their appreciation for the fans who had turned out to see the spectacle.

Image

Phil with some of the Old Boy players.......Chris Marsh

Image

Premier League ref Alan Wiley

Image

Clyde Winjhard

Image

Some of the Walsall Old Boys enjoy a well earned pint.

Image

Thanks to all those involved and let's hope lots of money was raised for this worthwhile cause!
