I wouldn't call it a luxury but Plumtree were able to name pretty much an unchanged side from their previous weeks win. 11 players were all we had available, playing a side who had won all their games to date, we knew we were going to have to be on top of our game. Kick off was delayed, Martin responsible for bringing Ryan is obviously enjoying his final Saturday nights of freedom before he's back from injury!! This gave the team chance to get their heads on the game and rev each other up. The game started out pretty evenly, with Plumtree getting to grips with the height of the opposition. It didn't take long before midfield and defensive headers were all being won and we started to get the ball down and play some football. Boots Wednesday did create some chances running through on goal but were unable to hit the target. We started to carve out our own chances with inform Omar going close once again and a few long range efforts going wide. At half time we knew we could go on and win the game and apart from a 5 min blip at the start of the second half, we pretty much dominated. Omar was a real handful all day, Boots defenders not knowing how to handle him. At times we looked great passing the ball round well with one and two touches, great work from the wingers, strong in defence and Matt and Duncan forming a strong midfield partnership. This all paid off when good work from Ryan put the ball into Omar 6 yards out, who took two touches, turned the defender and buried it the bottom corner. A well deserved goal all round. In fairness to Boots they put up a fight all day, not afraid to mix it up in the tackle, and their striker latched onto a through ball and buried it in the back of the net, leaving Roscoe helpless! This only spurred Plumtree onto victory and when once again another good move and excellent work from Jonny Rowe created another corner. Jonny stepped up to deliver a beautiful cross in, and who should be leaping like a salmon but Mr Leigh Godfrey. Latching on to a powerful header and beating the keeper, victory was confirmed. We were able to keep things tight, limiting Boots to only a few chances for another well earned win.
Man of the match was Omar again, now on his way to being one of the leagues top goal scorers with 5 in 3 games.
