Game 5 (3/5/08)
SCORERS: Andrew Meikle (2)
A very exciting and close match today, which unfortunately ended in a 3-2 loss to Putney Rangers. Both sides were fairly evenly matched and we knew from the start that it was going to be very tight. The Rangers scored the first goal about 15 minutes into the first half but we managed to come back at them shortly after with a great goal from Andrew. Second half saw us at 1 all and we took to the field with great enthusiasm, but Putney struck again 2-1! Then wouldn’t you know, Andrew managed another goal - 2 all - and the crowd was going nuts!
Both teams were on fire and determined to score the winning goal. They both fought hard right up until the end, but it wasn’t to be our day because, with about 5 minutes to go, Putney scored the winning goal and we simply didn’t have time to get back at them.
It was a terrific game and our team played brilliantly. Great job boys! Man of the Match went to Adam for some excellent marking in the right back position. Well done Adam.
