Kensington draw

Excitement is not what the Kensington Boys need right now in this highly competitive all-out-brawl that is division 2. But what faced them this Tuesday afternoon was a high-paced skirmish of an away game against Inter that left both teams bruised, exhausted and with one point each to show for it.

The yellow cards rained down the Boys as they clearly lost their temper after a 48th minute incident which was deemed worthy of a goal-scoring free kick for Inters Neal Stapleton. Henry Birch and James Wilde saw themselves on the referee’s list of war-crimes and they would not be alone. The Boys fought, kicked, shouted and - at one moment of bloody onslaught in the case of Maurice Jacobs´ knee versus Bert Keith’s groin - managed to bring a man and a whole stadium to tears.

Keith is expected to be able to play the game of football again in a week’s time. Some spectators claim to never be able to forget the sight and terror.

Aubrey de Vere thought he was the hero of the day after suddenly scoring in a flash of brilliance but the game ended in the 90th minute with a last-second equalizer.Elton Hills was proclaimed as man-of-the-match but in the eyes of Kensington, it was Henrik Larsson who really stole the show, both opening and ending the game with superb handling and a fierce shot.
