Dec. 26th, 2009 07:24 pmA peaceful, quiet Christmas yesterday. Got the book Ten Years of talkSport from the parents and spent much of the day reading that, in between watching telly and overindulging in the nibbles.
My cold is still clinging on grimly and at lunch time today a throbbing headache came on. A Paracetamol seemed to do the trick for the time being.
Over to Westleigh Park for Hawks v Woking. Greeted in the clubhouse by the sad news that Pete, one of our best known fans, had died this morning; there was a minute of silence for him before kick-off. Caught up with Mark and Malc over a mixed fruit Kopparberg and went over for a chat with Steph and Angie, who were busy folding up tickets and putting them in the drum for the HawkSupport Christmas raffle.
It's not usual for radio stations to do live commentary at our home games, but BBC Radio Surrey cover all Woking's games live, so today I had the strange experience of someone doing full commentary on the match sat right behind me. As kick-off approached one of the other radio guys relayed the news that Portsmouth had lost 2-0 at West Ham, sparking a restrained little ripple of celebration among the Hawks fans nearby.
Hawks took the lead with a pile-driver from Ian Simpemba late in the first half. Just after the hour mark Woking had a player sent off for an atrocious tackle on Steve Walker, but moments later they got a penalty when Ivan Forbes brought down their right-back and Giuseppe Sole equalised. It ended 1-1 but that wasn't the end of the action; in injury time a Woking sub saw red for a bust-up with Aaron Howe, much to the disapproval of the large travelling support.
Back to the clubhouse for the raffle draw, where my headache came on again but I still managed to sink a Kopparberg. I didn't win anything.
Head OK now, touch wood.
