Frustration for City
Wednesday Nov 09 2005 00:00
This was ultimately another frustrating game for City as they had to settle for a point after a sloppy period of play let Banbury back into a match that better finishing should have seen City put beyond their reach. Perhaps a point against a team in the upper reaches of the table should be seen as a reasonable result, but the Puritans were below strength and below par, and Burns will know his side must win home games or drastically improve our away form before our position in the lower end of the table becomes impossible to salvage.City spirits were high coming into the match. First of all came a very welcome sight on the team sheet. Still in at number 7, Neil Mustoe. The City midfielder clebrated his birthday with a special gift for his club as he rejected a double-your-money offer from Southern League Premier rivals Mangotsfield United to again stay with the club he watched from the T-End as a boy. It was a decision of letting your heart rule your head, but that is exactly what football should be about. As an extra lift for the fans one of those players Mustoe watched as a schoolboy was also back at Meadow Park - with legendary striker Lance Magic Morrison making a trip from Birmingham to return to his old stomping ground. Lance was a key player in getting the goals that fired City to the 1988/89 Southern League Midland Division title, and a real fans favourite as his incredible elastic legs bamboozled the opposition and seemed to defy the laws of gravity. Lance must have got a real shock though when he saw Adie Harris on the City team sheet. The ageless winger was in the City side all those years ago, and at 41 hes still here and still in Burns starting eleven.
