Next on our fixture list was a home fixture against an intimidating Seychelles side. This was my first home game in charge and i was quite nervous as to how the fans would react to me, if their where any there that is. Sarah was coming which i thought was great, she had supported me throughout my incredible journey so far. I had told the players too meet up at my hotel, where a luxury boogie bus would be waiting. I wanted the players to relax before the match, as the previous night the lads seemed to be ******** themselves. I didn't want to fear the opposition, i wanted to be feared by them.

"Right lads, we can beat this team today, they're scared of you. They didn't even want to turn up today, we go out there and we rough them up. They won't know whats hit them. The surface isn't too great, which is to our advantage, keep the ball and make them work hard, chase down every ball. Right through ever tackle, We can do this boys COMEON !!!"

4 IN A ROW FOR HEWITT'S COOKS AFTER VINTAGE DISPLAY AGAINST CLASS OPPOSITION
The cook islands have picked up yet another famous victory under the leadership on Scot Peter Hewitt, he has led the islands national team to 4 straight wins. Keeping His record at 100%. The Cook Islands places 40 places below their opposition, put on a memorable display for the 999 attendees. The match was also Hewitt's first home game, and the crowd reacted well when he was introduced before the match. The Cook Islands attacked from the star and star player Tikalla put them on their way to a 3-0 win with a nicely timed leap and headed the ball home on 14 minutes. Seychelles then started to attack with a bit more meaning hitting the bar on two occasions in the first half. The game then dragged on a little, then a moment of inspiration from Teariki Piri, doubled the cook's lead. Then moments later a swift counter attack after a Seychelles corner saw Michael Varney place the ball into the net after going round the keeper in spectacular style.
the facilities that Hewitt needs to work with. NO WONDER HE NEARLY QUIT

Managers Say
A supreme performance from the lads, the best one yet by far. We were dominant from the first whistle. Tikalla was amazing today, his best performance by a mile. The fans were pretty good today, although there weren't many of the but they were pretty loud. I hope this victory sees an improvement in the world rankings, we deserve to be higher the 196th, but thats football for you....
