Real Milan 0 S J Cherokees 2

Injury ravaged Real Milan were forced to take on SJ Cherokees with just EIGHT fit players and remarkably held Cherokees at bay till just after half time. Real were rocked just hours before the game when Karim Usmani became the latest player to with draw from the squad.
Frantic phonecalls resulted in Scott Lawrie climbing out of his sickbed and agreeing to play, on condition he could take regular rests during the game. Danny O'Sullivan also defied doctors orders and agreed to play despite an agonising achilles problem that required ice packs before and after the game.
In spite of all this, the Milan players were determined to give a 100% effort to the cause and played their hearts out against a well organised hard working Cherokees outfit.
Man of the Match was Sam Haggerty who was simply outstanding in the first half.Tom Emery was also superb in an unfamilar right wing role and working very hard for the team and helping Danny out. Every Real Milan player should be proud of their performance and with a bit more luck they could have got an unlikely result.
