Week 1 (25 July)
RESULT: Win 4-0
SCORERS: Marshall Luke 3 – Jack Dickenson 1
With almost all the team back from holidays this week the boys started the game with confidence and enthusiasm.
After about 5 minutes it was clear we could push our defence up to the halfway which forced All Saints in to a tight if not bunched defence. This proved to be a problem for our attack in the 1st half as the play was compressed which made it difficult to get a good shot on goal.
All Saints were able to make the odd break past our midfield and it was after one of these breaks that Marshall was able to make one of his breakaway runs and almost knock the goalkeeper over with a screaming shot just over his head and into the goal.
A number of chances early in the second half but the boys were still finding it hard to penetrate the compressed defence.
It wasn’t until about the halfway point of the 2nd half that Jack took a ball to the right of the goals and was able to turn back and slot it in. Marshall quickly followed this up with 2 more goals of his own which secured a good solid win.
This week’s player of the match went to Chris for his determination in defence.
