A return to last weeks venue, Moor Lane sports arena saw the third XI up against a Laserquest team that had been defeated 4-2 at the Memorial Ground earlier in the season.
Matt Williams took the captain's role as Phil Gardner acquired some splinters alongside pulling champion Gareth Lawton on the bench.
After the first 10 minutes of non-stop jokes and banter, Gardner, manager Dave Griffiths and 'The Wand' remembered they were supposed to be watching a football match.
About the time Lawton was telling a story about the previous nights victim and that for marks out of 10, he'd given her 1, Simon Stewart slipped a pass from the old skool through to Ashley Poshpants to hit a low soft left foot shot into the net for 1-0.
With Lawton's gags becoming a bit strained it was time for Gardner to pull out some A+ material, telling the opposition forward he was playing like a dream, a f***!%g nightmare to be precise. His girlfriend looked like a treasure, she had just been dug up and he had legs like a Chippendale, table that is. A few half chances came and went and Wulfs went in one up.
A half time injury to James Sutton saw Gardner take up his rightful place alongside the colossus that is Matt Williams. After a few minutes is was obvious that the Laserquest team talk was 'oof it, kick um and moan, moan, moan in that order, but by concentrating on their own game Paul Fothergill and Jim Lawton would take everything thrown at them.
An ongoing battle for Bhupesh Patel meant the Laserquest centre half was getting wound up and in true style of someone not quite right, he carried on his argument even when Bup was standing on the touchline after being replaced by The Wand.
This total lack of concentration resulted in Simon Stewart running at the defender and being hacked down for a penalty. Gareth's eyes lit up as though he had just spotted something with blonde hair, size 16 waist and in a bad way from binge drinking. A penalty, a drunken female. Two things that should end with Gaza scoring. No chance as weight watchers own Danny Patrick made his move to claim the ball. A good penalty, put into the corner of the net meant against the run of play, Wulfs were up 2-0.
Another few minutes of Laserquest pressure came to nothing and wulfs held on to their first clean sheet since October.
A look back at the game showed that Wulfs were grateful of the points from a scrappy game, but a lesson to the opposition; 'If you don't score you don't win'.
Man of the match: Simon Stewart.
Pass of the match: Ashley, left to right to end with a penalty.
Final score: FCS Lasermail 0 Old Wulfrunians 2.
