Well What a game, it had everything from missing goal posts to amazing comebacks.

It was great to see everyone arrive bright and early and raring to go unfortunately we had no goals on the pitch !!! After numerous calls and walking up and down, those poor park keepers finally got out of their beds and turned up at 10.20am only to give us the wrong cross bars first of all. Finally we kicked off around 11AM !!!!!!

We decided to start with a new 5 – 3 -2 formation and initially it worked a dream. We created a couple of chances for Reynolds who used his strength and pace to good effect. Also Charney had a good chance. To be honest we really should of been one up. Suddenly  a mix up at the back and they rolled the ball into as empty net. 1.0 Nil to Brady. I think you were all still shouting  and blaming each other and the second goal went in no idea what happened. Before you could re-group they broke the shot was parried and they tapped into a empty net. no one followed the shot in. That was 3 goals in about 5 minutes and we were only 20 minutes into the Game. Nick changed it back to 4 -1 – 4 – 1 and finally we got the goal we deserved Gabe finished well after good work down the left. Back in the game. Connor shot from outside the box and was cleared off the  line by there defender who wasn’t under any pressure. However we let them take a quick throw and we were not strong enough in the tackle and the laid the ball back to there midfielder who curled a goal in to the top corner 4.1. Difference was now that you wanted it a bit more and began to fight for the ball and just before half time you got back into the match Charney scored via a deflection but to honest he deserved that goal. Half – Time 4-2.

At half time we lost our goalie, Josh hurt his leg and Saul volunteered to go in big THANK YOU.

Second half started and it was obvious you wanted it a bit more  but we struggled to create any real chances we kept pushing but it would not fall for us. Finally after about 20 minutes we scored Faizan starting his first game for us closed down the defender out muscled him and cracked in a great goal from the edge of the penalty area 4-3 . Next bit of drama probably actually decided the game. Brady were given a harsh penalty Saul stood tall in the goal gave their striker the eyes and he put it wide ……….Saul didn’t even move he was that sure !

With this new surge in confidence we played the ball down the right between Louie & Morgan onto Charney who crossed for Gabe to side foot in 4-4 we were now on top with 10 minutes to go. Callum was first to go close with a shot and run that the goalie saved. Faizan was unlucky again with another shot just over. The midfield of Louie, Connor and Faizan were winning everything and pushing the ball up to the front three who were hounding the defense . With 5 minutes to go the ball was worked down the right Gabe picked it up and drove to goal. Charney and Reynolds were free in the center and would of had a easy tap in but Gabe wanted the hat trick and he duly provided 4 – 5

Drama still not over with about 2 minutes to go they were awarded a free kick on the edge of the penalty area. Saul lined up the wall then hid behind it LOL, But they pulled the shot wide. Last few minutes we held out with Tom and Adonis holding firm at center back ably supported by Morgan and Joey.

It was a great come back performance by you all. We gave away some silly goals and missed some chances but in the end you all worked encouraged each other and tried your best.

Well Done
