Lewis guns down the sick Saints
5:16pm Wednesday 16th May 2001
London Colney Amber U11s took maximum points from a double header against St Albans City South U11s at the weekend.
The Ambers won the first game 4-0 before notching up a 5-2 victory in the second.
In the first match Tom Hanson's excellent hat-trick established Colney's lead.
His first goal, a corner, ricocheted off a City player before beating the keeper. Hanson's second strike was also from a corner. He completed his hat-trick with a free kick from the edge of the box.
Colney's fourth goal was scored by Andrew John after he had latched on to a Filipe Poeira through ball.
Colney turned on the style in the second game. Their first goal was scored by Lewis Wynne following a good run by Dominic Easter. It was Easter who delivered Colney's second goal.
City pulled one back but Colney soon restored their advantage through Wynne. And Wynne completed his hat-trick by chipping past the stranded keeper. The on-fire Colney man struck again to complete the Ambers' tally.
*Colney's U10 Ambers will be sharing the Challenge Cup with Aldenham Warriors following a 0-0 (aet) draw in the competition's final. Under Challenge Cup rules, a penalty shoot-out is not permitted.

Treasure Island: The Theatre Royal, Haymarket
I was set to interview Keith Allen in the run-up to Treasure Island, but he cancelled. I mention this non-event because, Allen not being someone I naturally associate with children’s entertainment, my central question was going to be: “Who’s the target audience?” The poster gave little away. Was it even to be a kids’ show? Would it be dark and/or adult? And how would he be playing Long John Silver? Straight-up murderous or loveable rogue? Having seen the show, I still don’t have my answer. What’s more, I’m not sure the production team has it, either.

Being someone who works from home I’d have to admit that my tendency to be easily-distracted is not always conducive to being productive.
