Football : Evesham United v's Gloucester City

[tigerroar]

Some shots from yesterdays BGBL Premier Division game between Evesham United and Gloucester City, which finished 2-2 despite City taking a 2-0 lead. Evesham, like City are currently homeless (while their new ground is being built) and the game was played at Worcester City's St Georges Lane stadium.

A timeless shot - I've been to Worcester's ground as long ago as 1989 and that clock has never worked!

This is a "f**king joke" according to the City man that walked past me as I took this!

Luke Ballinger's lob (obscured), led to this...

Luke likes a good celebration

A last ditch tackle by the Evesham man led to shouts for a penalty

Nice shots ... I think I like the 4 arms 4 legs and two heads the best! LOL

How far away were you from the action?

[tigerroar]

I was pitchside.

I like that pic too, not technically the greatest photo but the defenders create an amusing pose.

How do you time your headers .. burst or single shot and looks like you use the 2.8 the most for football...

Very nice shots, but I hope you are aware of the forum rules (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=51052) which only allow you to embed 8 images per thread. I only mention this so a moderator doesn't have to be the first to suprise you by taking down the shots.
