Littleport town 1 Alconbury 9 yes 9. There has been a big buzz at Alconbury all pre season and it started today not such a buzz littleport should of scored in the 1st minute. We were very slow to start first 10 min we were off the pace . We looked nervous we were rushing everything and was not good to watch we then settled down and sort went from 1st gear straight into 5th gear. Matty Pond what a game he had today was both physical and absolute class the tackle he made and run and back heel for Wayne Childerley to set us on our way with a 20 yard thunder bolt giving the keeper no chance don't think he saw it . Great strike. We battled well what I loved about today is the determination from every player if a player lost the ball a Alconbury player was there winning it back the work rate today from everyone of you today was so high well done. Alex Norman work rate after he had his moan first 10 was up there today must covered every bit that pitch 10 times and his work rate set up the second goal it was a ball strikers would die for and James Edwards with a nice little finish. Correction the pass was from claxton . The boys were focused now the back four were playing football from the back as to how we have been playing all season lead by skipper Simon Chubb Pearce , our skipper lead by example putting his body on the line for everything . The football the movement I don't think littleport new what hit them and then Wayne pops up for his second I don't even remember who set this one up as I think every player played a part the football was of such a high standard . 3-0. Greg Cooper what a signing Mom today along with Wayne, greg must feel like he run the London marathon . There left back went home ?? he pulled his pants down every time he went down that wing , greg work rate today was absolute quality if he lost the ball he worked to get it back . When going forward it was so good to watch . Keep up the good work mate and his determination got him into the box and a lovely calm finish 4-0 half time. Good positive team talk from myself and Mick Clarke. No subs. Slow 5 mins Then a great ball from Benn Arnoldd and just like to add Ben was amazing at back again but what a ball for Matty Claxton a great header 5-0. Claxton has been playing out wide all season but today with 6 away we picked him to fill in at centre mid and today mate quality well played a job well done. And with matt in centre mid we played Wayne out wide . Wayne has been playing for res and first team and we have seen Wayne's work rate and determination and we picked Wayne and started him and he did not dissapoint us MoM today also and Wayne's absolute class today mate and with some good work Wayne got his hatrick 6-0 ??????. The ref gave a pen debatable really but unfortunately Matt Lees could not save it just like add matt was very good today pulled off some good saves and very vocal and done very well . Ross Sommers came on to just slow game down and settle us and the old war horse showed us why he back playing football with a thunder bolt off a header. 7-1. We were not finished there just hit 6th gear Greg what a run and shot keeper save fell for James to tap home for his second. Ryan Palmer on for James and Palmer wanted a bit off the action with a turn on box and a good finish. 9-1 You have set the bar high now boys and need keep all the work rate there and add more and more. I think mick and myself picked the right team today and we got it right very happy with the start boys . James van der Mackrell need to mention was absolute quality also the ground you covered and football played mate well done. Kristien Strickson-head put in a massive shift also. I could go on but it's one game we need keep it up or today means nothing ok. We need start better next week ok. We had 6 quality players away today so me/mick /Pondy. Are so happy with this squad and buzzing like you all should be . Darrell Clark write up done . ?????????????? buzzing Donkey goes to Paul Mcfarlane came on got booked fell over got injured come off lol . Hope your ok mate . Nathan Pond well done for getting the boys in shape.
