Wingate & Finchley 2:1 AC Finchley

Hard fought and hard won performance

Today’s squad Frankie, Jack, James, Saul, Hyde, Daniel, Max, Lotjan, Connor, Tommy, Jed, Polly, Harry and Arlind.

Tough conditions today with a really strong wind that made the first half with wind against a tough 45 mins. Not much happen in the first 10 mins as both teams cancelled each in the midfield

Jed was working away upfront and managed to win a corner. Jed swung it in and Max thumped home the header 1:0 15 mins gone.

Still the wind forced us back but James and Saul dealt really well under extreme pressure. In the swirling wind Saul tried to clear the ball dropped to the winger whose speculative shot went flying towards goal Frankie dived to his left and turned the ball round the post … Fantastic save.

Chance were a premium both for them and us due to the wind and some great midfield work from Max , Lotjan and Connor

HT 1:0

Second half and this time we had the wind which meant they were playing in front of their box a lot of the time. After 55 mins Max floated a cross in and the defender lost it on the air and hand balled in the box.

Harry confidently stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way 2:0

We were always in charge of this game and it was about management . Another corner and this time Saul met it and then ball went over the bar when I thought he would score.

Soon though we paid for a bit of lethargic play we didn’t go with the runners and a cross found a player in marked who chested it in on the line 2:1

No heads dropped and we continued to push. Daniel had a great run down the right into the box and we should of scored .

A corner by Jed was headed on to the bar by there defender and then cleared.

The best chance of the second half fell to Harry a long ball out and a mix up between the keeper and defender gave H a free shot on a open goal, unfortunately he didn’t realise how much time he had and took it early and the shot went wide.

Bar a few silly free kicks in the last five mins you managed the game fantastically and deserved the 2:1 FT

MoTM , big shouts to Saul and James today who were magnificent at centre halves, however Max was winner a great headed goal, won loads of headers in the middle and created chances for other

Last trading Wednesday 8:15
