Match Report

Newcastle legends were the better the side on the day as their 22 - 1 pounding of Play Up Pompey showed.
A strict diet of Ball skills, Ball skills and a little more Ball skills has seen Newcastle legends's stamina levels shoot up.
To say that Play Up Pompey played football would be stretching the point a little far seeing as they barely saw a ball all match.
An own goal by Casey Needzit gave Play Up Pompey a mountain to climb. If they were actually climbing a mountain, Casey Needzit would be carrying all the bags to make amends for his gaff.
Graham Taylor would have been taking notes of the long ball tactics employed by Testing Formations and his Newcastle legends team.
Casey Needzit will miss 8 weeks after he hobbled off the pitch with a broken cheek bone.
"Our poor performances are having an effect on replica shirt sales," sighed boss connor phillips. "We had a mongoose in the club shop the other day, I said 'We don't get many mongooses in here', 'At £40 for a shirt I'm not surprised,' he said."
With Newcastle legends scoring so freely questions need to be asked of the opposition. The most obvious being did they actually turn up? If so, why did they bother?
