Game 5 12/5/07
Up against the AA1 premiers from last year, this game would sort out where we could expect to finish this year. Jimmy had been under done so far this year, but with a bit of indoor one touch and clear instructions to play and go, he seemed ready to have his big game. It didn’t take long for him to get clear and run straight at goals and let rip with a fierce bullet which left the keeper wondering 1-0. Kris came on to help out for the day due to Feeb’s blisters and made an immediate impact, stripping their last defender only to have a late challenge in the box deny him. Gav stepped up and had the keeper trying to avoid a pile driver penalty that almost took his head off. 2-0 halftime. We had hoped they would start to tire, but with their U21’s playing before hand, they used 5 or 6 fresh players to try to start a comeback. Our back four held again, just.. and the pressure continued to build on their defence with gaps opening all over the place. Ad helped himself to a beauty, 3-0, Kris went over, Toby wide, Doz went close and that was it. Good result, great game Jimmy, thanks Kris.. That’s all folks…
