winter night
the wax and wane
of the Sherrin
the noises
a half-empty stadium makes
winter chill
night showers
the fits and starts
in our play
the right place
at the right time
Daicos
one or two buds
the debutant
kicks a goal
the moon eclipsing the game
no goals for an hour
leaves fall on leaves
already fallen
scoreless quarter winter is long
