Team (1-1-2-1-2): Safe Hands - Breebeto Jnr - Wildman, Flying Scotsman - Carltona - Breebeto Snr, Clown Shoes

Samba Quays FC returned to winning ways with a deserved, but albeit narrow, victory over EDF All Stars on Tuesday night. The game saw Samba unveil their much discussed new look formation with Breebeto Snr opting for his one at the back and wing back formation, dispensing with years of Samba tradition. And it was the new-look Samba who started the brighter, with Wildman, Clown Shoes and Carltona all denied by the impressive EDF keeper. The deadlock was broken midway through the second half when Samba were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the EDF box. The Flying Scotsman, who impressed throughout in his new role as a right wing-back, went for the direct approach and his left foot shot could not have been placed more perfectly as it crept in off the inside of the post. It was, quite literally, a good (set) piece. Despite some late scares, Safe Hands, back in goal after a foot injury ?!?!, was rarely troubled thanks largely to Breebeto Jnr’s rock like presence at the back and the excellent work rate of the wingbacks, midfield and forwards. Speaking exclusively to SambaQuaysblogspot.com Carltona said: ‘Some of the lads were a bit wary about the gaffer’s new system, but to be fair, it’s worked well tonight. It’s always nice to keep a clean sheet and the Flying Scotsman stays behind after training to practice his scuffing and it’s paid off for him. We played some good stuff and we’re looking forward to pushing for promotion next season’. Breebeto Snr also commented: 'It's nice to see the new formation working as this will give us a dynamic edge for next season. The team worked really hard on sticking to my plan and they have given me a real headache going into our first full season - the squad has never been stronger.'
