A WELL DESERVED RESULT BUT AFTER A GREAT FIRST HALF WHICH WE DOMINATED,WE STEPPED OFF THE GAS AND NEARLY PAID FOR IT.
AFTER PLAYING MEDLOCK EARLIER ON IN THE SEASON, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS WASN'T THE SAME TEAM THAT WE BEAT 5-0.
THE GAME STARTED A BIT SCRAPPY THEN WE GAINED CONTROL AND PLAYED SOME REALLY NICE FOOTBALL AND GOING 1-0 UP WITH ALEX PLAYING A SUPERBLY WEIGHTED BALL TO HAYDEN WHO CALMLY SLOTTED THE BALL INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.
THE PASSING WAS GREAT TO WATCH AND THE HARD WORK IN TRAINING HAS REALLY PAID OFF BUT SHOOTING HAS NOW BECOME A PROBLEM WITH NO-ONE REALLY WANTED TO TAKE A RISK WHEN IN GOOD POSITIONS.
NONE THE LESS IT WAS A GOOD TEAM EFFORT... HARRY WASN'T REALLY BEING TESTED IN GOAL,JOSH AND LIAM WERE AGAIN SOLID IN DEFENCE,HAYDEN CARRIED ON FROM LAST WEEK AND CONNEL ADAM AND ALEX WERE LINKING UP NICELY IN ATTACK.
AT HALF TIME WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3 OR 4 UP SO WE TOLD THE LADS NOT TO RELAX AND PUSH ON FOR MORE GOALS....BUT THE SECOND HALF THEN BECAME A STRUGGLE AND THE LADS WERE MAKING HARD WORK OF THINGS LETTING MEDLOCK GET ON THE ASCENDENCY.
PASSING BECAME SLOPPY AND THE MOVEMENT BECAME NON EXISTANT. A VERY DUBIOUS FREE KICK WAS GIVING 20 YARDS OUT TO WHICH STILL BAFFLES ME NOW,THE LADS DIDN'T REACT QUICK ENOUGH AS THE MEDLOCK STRIKER WALLOPED THE BALL RIGHT IN THE TOP CORNER WITH HARRY LOOKING A BIT PERPLEXED !! 1-1.
ALL THE HARD WORK HAD NOW GONE OUT OF THE WINDOW AND THE GAME GOT SCRAPPY AND TACKLES WERE GETTING NIGGLY.
AT LAST WE GOT A PENALTY WITH CONNEL JUMPING FOR THE BALL IN THE BOX, HE WAS BLATENTLY SHOVED IN THE BACK TO THE DISMAY OF MEDLOCKS PARENTS WHO GAVE ME A BIT OF ABUSE BUT IT WAS SOUR GRAPES ON THERE PART, AS MEDLOCK THROUGHOUT THE GAME HAD GOT AWAY WITH PULLING SHIRTS AND PUSHING, SO IT WAS OVERDUE FOR US TO GET A DESICION.
CONNEL COOLY STEPPED UP AND SLAMMED THE BALL INTO THE NET TO GET HIS FIRST GOAL FOR THE TEAM TO ROUND OFF A GRAT MORNINGS WORK.2-1.
ON CAME JAKE TO SHORE UP THE MIDFIELD AND SET UP A FEW ATTACKS WHICH WE WERE UNLUCKY NOT TO SCORE A THIRD.
FINAL WHISTLE BLEW AND A GOOD RESULT FROM THE LADS.
HARRY ALLEN - MADE SOME IMPORTANT SAVES BUT IM SURE HE WONT BE PLEASED WITH THEIR GOAL.
JOSH O'NEIL - FANTASTIC ONCE AGAIN AND IS BECOMING EVER RELIABLE.
LIAM BROWN - ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE AND STEADY ONCE AGAIN.
HAYDEN SMITH - ANOTHER STERLING EFFORT AND A WELL TAKEN GOAL.
CONNEL MALLON - ALL OVER THE PITCH TODAY,GREAT PENALTY AND DESERVED M.O.T.M.
ADAM FORD - NICE LINK UP PLAY BUT STILL STRUGGLING WITH HIS FOOT.
ALEX WILLIAMS - AGAIN PLENTY OF GOOD MOVEMENT AND HIS PASS WAS SUBLIME FOR THE FIRST GOAL.
JAKE HUSSAIN - STEADIED THE MIDFIELD WHEN HE CAME ON AND SET UP A FEW LATE ATTACKS.
