Game 6 (10/5/08)
A fine “team” effort today saw our boys (and girl) tough out an exciting win this morning. We were unlucky to concede the first goal, but due credit to their striker, he managed to get to the goal and put it away. However, it was our day today and from about that point on, we put it all together. It’s amazing what happens when you play the game in their half of the pitch so well done to Christian and our backs Jezza (who played with injury) and Liam….the quiet achiever.(who never gave up)
1 nil down at half time….we were nervous but we knew if we could get through we had a good chance. They played 4 back in defence….so we couldn’t go through, we tried going round but they were too quick….so we had to go over the top and that’s what gave us the position we needed to give “Spider” (aka Dale) first blood from a Charlie Witt corner. Andrew hit number two sweetly off the left boot and drove it hard into the back of the net and “big boot” Charlie backed himself again with a long shot which sailed past the keeper and nestled nicely in the top left corner. We even saw our team move the ball back to find space…..”Now that’s confidence”. Deserving Player of the match was Sammy who muscled up in defence and just kept pushing the ball through for the forwards…nothing fancy…just turn the play around. Plenty of sweat on the foreheads this morning…..…the sign of a team that worked hard for their win. Keep up the good effort team.
