Week 13 (28/6/08)
Dear team…please DO NOT do that to us again !!!!!!. To win the game after needing 2 goals in the last 5 minutes does not go well with a weak heart. All credit to our opposition Roselea, they played good soccer today but our boys (and girl) really put it together and came home with a wet sail to pull off a thrilling win.
It was our usual slow start and we conceded an unlucky goal but our defence in the first half was truly excellent…thanks to Charlie, Liam and a “man of the match” effort by Brandon. Our guys stuck to their forwards like superglue and we were impenetrable for the first 25 minutes. Joshy bagged our first to tie it up 1-1 at the break and we could sniff a victory coming. But Roselea had other plans when they scored from a corner half way through the second half. (nervous).
It was a real arm wrestle to the finish with Dale tidying up a great cross from Sammy, pushing it wide of the keeper and into the back of the net. It was always going to be a great last 2 minutes. (very nervous). Kad hooked on to a loose kick from Roselea and set Harry on his way, and to his credit he sprinted past the defenders and managed to sneak it past the keeper. The crowd went wild (except for the Roselea supporters who looked on in disbelief). Phew…relief…..and 3 competition points as well as a huge smile. Nice to see our team “wanting” the win and doing everything to get it. Maybe it was the promise of Mars Bars that provided the extra incentive ??????
