PUREST GREEN

The Mariners are on the hunt for those all-important points to secure a playoff spot, and this week they’ve headed to the land of afternoon teas to take on Betty's Boys—a team they've never managed to beat in league action. Could this finally be their chance to break the curse? Kieran Green decided it was time to sprinkle a bit of his trademark magic again, delivering a jaw-dropping 70-yard strike (yes, SEVENTY yards!) that had us all picking our jaws up off the floor. Add in a stunner from JDS, and things were looking good—until the Mariners’ defence had a late wobble, giving away two goals in the final five minutes and ending the game 2-2. Frustrating? Yes. Valuable away point? Also yes. Join Dave and Steve as they break down the drama, relive Green’s incredible moment of brilliance, and remind us why this team keeps us coming back for more. And in true Blackadder style, that strike? “PUREST GREEN!” So grab a cuppa, settle in, and get ready for another rollercoaster ride. Enjoy—and UP THE MARINERS!
