Report

Sorry, readers – with my work starting this week I’ve been too busy to write a full report, but suffice to say that this was a hard-fought match and if a ball or two had gone a foot lower and if Kashima’s GK Hitoshi Sogahata wasn’t such a tool, we might have gotten a draw (which I think we deserved) or even a win.

For completeness sake I’m going to backdate this entry.  Sorry for the delay!
