Hard Luck today boys, you were unlucky to conceed an equaliser deep into injury time!
The compact pitch meant it was a day for tackles rather than passes. We started brightly taking the lead within the second minute with good link up play between Broggy and James H, Who put the ball in the net with a crisp shot.
At times we lacked the eagerness to make a tackle and all to often turned our back on the ball. However we stuck at it and throughout it was a close game .
Bryce scored another hat trick and recieved "MOM",one a brilliant solo effort and the other two neatly setup by Joe, who again showed his class at good old fashioned wing play.
Nathan was solid in defence and did the simple things to great effect. Midfield energy came from Ollie, Broggy and James H today who at times enjoyed sustained pressure at the beginning of the second half, winning corner after corner.
Captain today, Sam Cobb showed that he can be a "fox in the box" by pouncing on a well saved shot, to poke home his first goal this season. Well done Sam.
With full time approaching there long goal kick caused us trouble again, but smart, positive keeping from the PACMAN in goal kept us in the lead. Only to be denied a win deep into injury time.
Thanks to all the parent helpers/volunteers today.
Finally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUTS TO BROGGY AND BRYCE, BOTH NINE THIS WEEK. The grandads of the team!
