The 'Rhubarb' turned up in good spirits only to be sent home with 'Custard' on their face on a morning where their league title dreams had 'crumbled' - as this was a morning for the football conesuer. The Roo were 2 down in 2 minutes with both Tee and Jammer lobbing the stranded keeper. The Glasshouse were playing with the ease and style of Liverpool in the 80's, the back 4 comfortable with the ball at feet, Ling, Oatway, Stuie and Smith. Stuie Lee added a 3rd with a touch, turn, and finish on 10 minutes, and Tee jumped in for his second with a cool finish. At 4 goals down the Rhubarb started to get into the game themselves and showed exactly why they have proved to be tricky customers to some good opposition this season, and on 30 minutes Stu'R had to be on his toes to push a shot over the bar when Joey beat the offside trap to race free. Stu was stand in keeper for Urch, last seen leaving a swingers party with a set Ford Mondeo keys and a sex-swing. Jammer went on to add his 2nd with a crisp finish and Chris Brown finally notched his first of the season. Brown side stepped 2 players only to hit the keeper with his shot, and when all on the park believed he would never score this side of santa coming down his chimney he hunted down the rebound to fire home his debut goal for the mighty Glasshouse. The Roo only had glimpses in the game, and on 40 minutes a low drive from distance caught keeper Stu unsighted, and with Stu going down in more instalments than a Sunlife Pension Plan the Tavern had their away goal that could prove so crucial in the second leg. Half-time came and went, with manager Lee dragging last week's MoM, 'the invisible Sampson', to be replaced with his son Dan, simply evolution. The impressive Stu Lee was then rested to give Sam Long a run out. In the other dugout the Tavern introduced their village idiot, a true Rhubarb vegetable! Sam's first touch was to head in a James Taylor's long throw, and he later added a 2nd when he jinxed his way past 2 to fire home, and he would have gone on to finish his hatrick had it not been for some woeful finishing. Mike Turner was also unlucky not to bag his hatrick when what looked a credible goal was ruled out for a previous head injury. As ever Jammer went on to bag his 3rd and then added a 4th before Tonkin raced in to get his season underway with a cute finish past the away custodian. Having finally opened his account for the season Brown was in confident mood, dazzling in and out of players as if they were nothing more than players static on a table football, and Chris fired home his 2nd and 3rd of the morning to earn his chip-butty at the pub. Unfortunately for the Tavern this was a day where the Glass played in their favourite gear, cruise control, and had it not been for their goalkeeper and Man of the Match Lummoux, the goals could have rained into the twenties. With the Glasshouse at home in Somerset Cup action next weekend the manager is left with more tough decisions…. white or red socks? Dan or Barry? wax or gel? roll-on or spray?
