A beautiful day for the game, with blazing sun and a newly laid Happy Valley turf. Initially, we applied pressure onto the Legal Head back line with some good attacking play, especially from our right and left flanks. It was such a move on the left flank with some good work between Garrow and Howard that set up the first goal. A high ball behind their defense into the box created enough havoc to allow Argueta to get a slight touch to see the ball go in. A good start for the fellas and reward for the intial pressure. Legal head tried to get back into the game with lots of hard work by closing down the spaces and battling for everyball which made for an ugly contest. However, we rose to the challenge and saw Garrow head just over the bar and later on in the first half he hit the cross bar with another headed effort. Good work down our right flank saw a cross into the box deflected in Argueta path to put Fellas up 2-0.
Doug and Koh came on for the second half. Legal Head exerted more pressure and upped their effort level which resulted in them pulling a goal back. A momentary sense of complacency from our part. With a possible draw on the card we searched for another goal with another effort rebounding off the crossbar and several good moves lacking the final touch to secure our third goal.
End result 2-1 and a good performance from the Fellas. On discussions after it seems that pitch 4 is smaller than pitch 5 hence less space to exploit and get in behind the defense like we did to great effect the previous week against BOC.
