Game 13 8/7/07
What can you say. Best game of the year. This is why we wanted to play AA1’s this year. Tough game given the opponent and a late shower which had water laying in both goal mouths. Kyle filled in today and it was his left foot cross that Toby should of scored from, yet it sailed over the bar with the keeper well beaten. A mistake was always going to determine this game and it did when our back header left Adam stranded 0-1 halftime. Our players continued to knock the ball around as if it was a dry pitch. The intensity of the game was fierce, with neither side giving an inch. We started to get on top but a penalty to them took away our steam. Adam saved again, only to deflect the ball back to the taker who didn’t miss the chance 0-2. Adrian responded immediately with a well taken chance 1-2. Doz should have levelled after a great header was get touched by their keeper. We pushed forward in the last ten, bringing on Scott, Kris and an extra striker to get the equaliser, but to no avail. Adam kept us in the game with some fine saves. Last 2 mins they took advantage of us pushing way up the pitch and picked up a soft third goal 1-3. Overall, they were thrilled, we were left empty, except for the respect we gained from an older and wiser opposing team.
