The Stade d'Ilea pitch was covered in a thin coat of frost like icing on this beautiful winter's morn, but was also decorated with two dozen footballers wearing shirts the colour of marzipan. A lack of communication in the build up had failed to detect this clash, and despite it being incumbent on the home team to change, it was Logica rather who were invited to turn their shirts inside out. Unfortunately, the match too proved a cake-walk for Worcester Park Rangers, as they continued to turn Logica inside out for the remainder of the morning and racked up a comprehensive 3-0 victory in this relegation six-pointer between the bottom two sides in Division Three.

After last week's Little Ron humiliation, it was good to see , and himself once again available for selection, and Logica were given a further boost when returned to make his first appearance of the season. This collective good news was tempered somewhat by the late withdrawal of , who was laid low by the flu.

Despite the revised line-up, Logica continued where they had left off last week. A seemingly lethargic display found the team collectively slow to react to most situations, whilst WPR showed the greater determination to win all of the 50-50's. Rangers were bottom of the division with zero points at the start of play, but found time and space to carve out plenty of chances in that first forty five minutes.

It was only a combination of wayward finishing and the brilliance and bravery of keeper that kept the scores close. The home side took the lead after Logica lost the ball on half way: a simple break by their pacey forward enabled him to run all the way to the bye-line, and his low cross was neatly turned in at the near post [0-1].

The second goal found Logica even more dazed and confused as a hopeful poke forwards found the same pacey forward with acres of space in which to pick his spot wide of the exposed [0-2]. Logica's only attack of note during the half saw the determined pick out a run from , and the forward's squared pass was rifled goalwards first-time by , only for the Rangers keeper to dive full-length and tip the shot around the post.

Indeed Logica proved far more effective at harassing the referee than their opponents. The experienced man in black amusingly picked up on the morning's inside-out theme by awarding each decision in exactly the opposite way to that which was correct. had already been spoken to tersely after a polite enquiry following the award of a hand-ball, when a succession of four or five erroneous decisions on the bounce against against Logica found unable to contain himself any longer. A similarly topical yellow card greeted his outburst, and subsequent expostulations further angered the arbitrary arbiter, who invited captain to stem the flow of his gaffer's complaints or else a red card would ensue.

The second half showed a slight improvement from Logica, with some more committed defending whilst the hard-working tried to lead his team-mates into a revival by example. But Logica rarely threatened the WPR goal, and the majority of play was again in their own half as made a further string of vital and brilliant saves. dribbled into the box only to shoot weakly; cut inside to fire a low shot that was parried behind for a corner, and a looping free-kick from found the WPR keeper desperately back-pedalling before palming the ball over his bar unconvincingly.

Any doubt about the outcome was removed when WPR scored a third goal from a corner, an unmarked player forcing the ball home from six yards out [0-3]. It was Rangers' first points of the season, and enabled them to jump above Logica who slumped to rock bottom as a result. If only the league table would follow the morning's topsy-turvy trend.
