Shaka opens with a lucky win

Sam 4 Shaka 10

Leading 2-0 after just a few minutes play Shaka stunned the host with 2 flukey goals in a matter of seconds. Sam had put up a stern defence up until two undefendable deflections drew Shaka level. Buckingham was clearly boosted by this slice of luck and he raised his performance quickly taking the lead and extending it. There were signs of a fightback with a spectacular effort from Sam and an own goal by Shaka. It looked for a short while like the game could take a twist. But another lucky strike from Shaka sealed the win.

Even spectators were baffled as to how the man nicknamed The Crab pulled a win out of the bag, one even suggested there may have been something untoward in the way the game was won.
