An experienced Pegasus veteran's side proved to good for the hastily assembled Mayor's XI and ran out 7-3 winners at Old School Lane on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Paul Mallender, Dave Jones (the oldest player on the pitch), Mick Panniers (2), ex NY Cosmos player Craig Clark and a seventh dubiously claimed by portly full-back Phil Powell (would you buy a car off a man who claims someone else's goal?). The Mayor's X1 replied with goals from Jamie "I'm a Dad" Griffiths, Tristan "I'll have a lager" Edwards and Jon "Skift" Eckley. It's also understood that no action is to be taken against Oxo regarding the damage to nearby hedgerows caused when firing well wide from just 10 yards out.
Most importantly, the game was watched by approaching a hundred paying spectators which together with a well supported raffle raised the goodly sum for The Mayor's chosen Charity.
