Lastest news from BUFC:
16/9/2000 - Barnstoneworth bow out of the end-of-season cup, with a loss
to Christian Utd, amid the worst display of refereeing post-war. Just
what did Greg McGuire yell at the ref to get his red card? ... I believe it
started with F, and ended with OFF !! Oh well, a carton of red for the boys !!
19/8/2000 - Almost an anti-climax, with a 4-2 win over Derwent Utd.
Secured the Championship by 3 points and a healthy goal difference. Went past
100 goals for the season, and Greg McGuire and Blake Donaldson each scored,
but remain tied for leading scorer on 17 each.
12/8/2000 - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS !!! With a 7-0 win over Uni
Bohemians, and DOSA held to a draw, we can't be beaten for the league ! A
solid win, without really turning it on.
5/8/2000 - Snuck in 11-1 over Hobart Wanderers, with McGuire a lazy 4
goals, and Tim Morris giving the imaginary air ball an absolute pounding. The
good news today, rumour has it League leaders DOSA lost, so BUFC is BACK ON
TOP !! Woo Hoo !!
29/7/2000 - A 6-1 victory over Uni Grads, with Lager Breen netting a
hat-trick. Didn't see the game, so can't report anymore.
22/7/2000 - A hard fought 2-1 win over Christian United. Tim Peters a
superb display in goals, including a penalty save, and a great volley for the
winner from Lee Salter were highlights.
15/7/2000 - Bummer. Lost 2-1 to DOSA, and probably lost the league title
with it. Things didn't get going for us, our previous lowest goal tally for a
game was 3, so we were off the mark there.
8/7/2000 - A hard-fought 3-2 win over New Norfolk, with Greg McGuire
scoring 2 crucial headed goals. Could've won by more, but could've lost it
also. We are now clear on top of the table.
2/7/2000 - A rowdy "Hanky Panky Bus Tours" bus trip to to play
Huon Valley proved successful, with a 5-1 victory. Highlights include a
strange penalty and a clinical finish from George to slot one home in
our own net....oh, and I'm a Dad.
24/6/2000 - A solid 7-0 victory over University Dynamo, with some good
soccer played. Don "how much time can you have in front of goal and still
miss" Ryan disappeared pretty quickly after the game, choosing not to
join in the post-match discussions over a beer.
17/6/2000 - A 4-0 victory over Derwent Utd, 3 goals in the first half
against the wind, and 1 lucky goal with the wind. Paul "Slugger"
Breen providing some entertainment.
3/6/2000 - A resounding 13-0 thumping of Uni Bohemians, with Blake
scaoring 4 goals. Tim Peters scoring for the second week in a
row...can the game ever be the same again.
27/5/2000 - 9-0 victory over a very undermanned Hobart Wanderers. Lee
Gillam helping himself to his first goals for the club, a casual 4. About time
he made up for the own goal. Missed more than we scored. Tim Peters scoring
also....bad for soccer.
20/5/2000 - After going behind early (again), Barnstoneworth rally
strongly to record an 8-1 win over Uni Grads. " 8-1....8 Bloody 1 !!
"
13/5/2000 - Wasn't there, no idea what went on. But Barnstoneworth won 6-3
over Christian United, so it couldn't have been too bad.
7/5/2000 - Not much went our way at DOSA. Losers at 4-3. Fine goal from
Colin from a free kick. Fitness fanatic Craig Seymour ran out a strong 5
minutes before turning red. Naughty Devereux picks up a yellow. Looking
forward to the return of the Great Corn next week.
30/4/2000 - Back to concentrate on the League, and a fine 5-1 win away to
New Norfolk. Could yet prove an important win later in the season. A fine
finish from new signing Lee Gillam to score his first goal for the club (OG).
24/4/2000 - "The Vase" - Round 2 of the cup, and Barnstoneworth
play like crap, on a hard and bumpy surface. A 2-1 loss to the Kingston
Cannons. Ah well, it was only a vase. Now if it had been a cup .....
16/4/2000 - "The Vase" - Round 1 of the cup, and we fight back
to down last year's Premiers Hobart Wanderers 2-1. A great win from the lads.
15/4/2000 - 2 from 2, as after a slow start and going 1-0 down, we finally
triumphed 5-1 over Huon Valley, with Blakey netting a hat-trick, and Fitzy breaking his nose to
look like the former McGuire nose.
9/4/2000 - First game, first win, 3-2 over Uni Dynamo.
Our pre-season fitness proved to hold us in good stead, as we ran out the
first 10 minutes strongly. The last 80 minutes were a bit of a struggle
however.
