Week 5 (16 May)
RESULT: WIN 6-0
SCORERS: ALEX 1, ZECHARIAH 1, DAVID 3, HARRY 1
A good solid win today after our weekend off. We easily beat Beecroft 6 nil in a game that didn’t put too much pressure on our boys. The first goal game mere seconds after the whistle blew, a brilliant left footer from Alex caught everyone by surprise – even his mother missed it! Zech was next up with a great shot, then David followed up with 3 in a row. A further two goals were disallowed by the Ref as offsides, as was the one and only goal Beecroft managed.
Half time saw it at 5 nil and I thought that it was looking good enough to score a whole heap more in the second half to give us a shot at the top two spots on the points table. But it wasn’t to be – not sure if it was our boys or that the Beecroft team lifted, but it was a fairly lackluster second half with only one more goal from a penalty awarded to us when a Beecroft player took Harry out in the penalty area. It was an easy goal for Harry as their goalie stood way over to the left of the goal so he simply shot it to the right – it was in the net before their goalie even moved. We did have quite a number of attempts at their goal after that but each one seemed to end up straight into the goalie’s hands and we couldn’t produce any further results. Overall it has to be said everyone had a top game with some amazing defence work stopping Beecroft at every turn – keep it up boys, we might make first place yet!
