At the very start of this season, back in July, I watched Oxford City thump Barry Town in a friendly. The score was 9-0. I had a feeling that would be the highest scoring game of the season. Since July I have been including my season totals on Futbology in my monthly round ups. That 9-0 has been on every one.
Today it got wiped off, in my first game of 2025!
The game I went to was Cardiff Draconians against South Gower. I was expecting the game to get called off because of the cold weather but apparently they had some club volunteers going over the pitch with snowblowers to thaw it out a bit and that meant game on!
Although there was a minute's silence first.
The surface was still quite slippy, but that didn't matter to the Dracs as they notched up an 8-2 win. That might seem like a hammering, but South Gower made a game of it. Their heads didn't droop and they were creating chances of their own right until the end.
The additional bonus - for me - is that the ten goals I saw today meant this became the highest scoring game of the season. And here is the proof!
I closed out 2024 with a 0-0 draw on New Year's Eve, so this was also a tonic to wash away the memories of that frustrating game. My goals to games ratio for 2025 is now on 10, which is unsustainable in the long term but makes for a great screengrab for 2025 so far.
