Colin Barrett's trophy cabinet and knack for scoring big cup goals means he has to play.

The players emerged from the tunnel to a wall of noise from the Capital FM Arena. They've met Prince Harry and Queen Victoria and now....
Ladies and gentlemen would you please stand for the national anthem sung by Alison Moyet and Stuart Pearce, backed by a huge chorus which includes every one except young Gary Neville.

It hasn't settled down yet. A nervy start from both sides. The COLINS will be the happier for the scrappy opening.

McGovern was looking composed in the warm-up:

The johns look intent to play the possession game with some crisp passing and neat triangles, cooper is looking frustrated already!
Roberton shoots but it hits the post, in true Nottingham forest style the Collins break quickly with some neat passing of their own. Cooper to Barrett, Barrett to Walsh, Walsh to Addison and there,s the shot's GOOOAAAAAL Addison opens his cup final with a glorious finish!

Proof that even an awful dirge can sound good when belted out with passion.
Helps that Moyet just sang it like a bloke!

Well, that's just the start they wanted! Colin Addison is leading scorer in this tournament with a lot of goals. And he continues his run of scoring in every round!

Robertson had been down at the park, practising against the helpful team of acting Johns (Johns who are actors). He seemed in good form as he went round John Corbett:
And, after losing the toss him and McGovern make friends again with the yellow shirts and choose ends.
The early Addison goal has rocked the Johns and ignited the final though. Walsh gives it to Addison again who aims for the top corner but only finds Middleton's gloves. The Johns instantly move up field where Robertson exchanges passes with Quigley and then dummies to shoot and as Cooper goes to block he takes it to the left and then slots it into the bottom corner from just outside the box.
Goal Johns! This is what they all came to see.

The JOHNS have been jolted into action, Robertson and Metgod combining to test Barrett and Cooper. The shot when it finally comes lacks power, and is smothered by a relieved looking Doyle, who bowls it out to Walsh underarm who puts Addison through one on one with Middleton. Addison feints left, and buries it right. Goal to the COLINS.

There was some debate before the COLINS scored there about the effort from McGovern that Cooper headed off the line. The JOHNS thought it may have crossed the line.
Johnny Carey is asking the fourth official the question.
It wasn't given though, that's all that counts and the COLINS lead. These JOHNS fans are going to really get behind their team if they're to get back in it.

GOAL! :metgod: AND IT'S TWO-TWO!
THE JOHNS ARE RIGHT BACK IN IT AGAIN!
Quigley was too clever for Walsh, who hacks his man down. There didn't appear to be any danger to the Doyle's goal, but Metgod had other ideas. He hits a thunderous free-kick that Doyle does well to get out of the way off.
JOHNS 2 COLINS 2

Can't believe Lichaj Sports is not covering this. My ceefax is obviously slow as it still says 1-1
