    James Gannon's team tried the new 'social distancing ' line up, but it took them time to adjust to the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 formation, so the first half remained goalless.
    But what a second half! Hinchliffe, who had not had a shot to save in the first half, using the time instead to start writing his memoirs, actually got to touch the ball after a poor back pass from Bounab, who had been brought back to the team on an emergency loan. County's no.1 proceeded to go on a mazy run up the field and ultimately send the other goalie the wrong way. 1-0!
    Unfortunately almost immediately after the equaliser came, but only due to a County calamity. It was actually a County corner, but Bounab had been so impressed with Hinchliffe's goal that he tried passing it back; Ben was not expecting the ball, and was in fact engrossed in writing chapter 3 of his autobiography, and reacted too late.
    But...despite fearing the worst, our fears were unfounded. This galvanized the home team into action, and the goals rained in, with Bounab going on to player a blinder, having a hand in all the goals, in fact scoring our seventh.
    Shame no fans were around to witness it.
