Week 1 (25 July)
RESULT: WIN 5-0
SCORERS: HARRY 2, IVAN, ANDY 2
Well, a nice “feel good” moment today – a massive win by the Pumas knocking the would be Premiers off their perch, no little knock either, 5 goals to nothing, effectively handing the Premiership over to All Saints.
We weren’t too sure how today’s match was going to pan out as the last time we played Glenhaven we essentially played half their team and half their 13/1’s, so we were more than a little interested to see how they would shape up against our full team, who are now, thankfully, all back from holidays. A slow start but with our team looking very strong it was only a matter of time. Then it happened, Harry put his foot on the ball for a blinder of a goal about 24 minutes into play. One nil at half time – very tense.
Second half played out much better, 2 minutes after the whistle Ivan managed one of his specialties from the right hand side of the field sinking that ball fairly and squarely into the back of the net – supporters and no doubt the team, feeling a bit more confident now – then Andy followed through with two more – one an amazing header. So we are all now feeling very confident as Glenhaven had no hope of getting through and scoring. A nice finisher by Harry saw us wipe out the “Number 1” team 5 nil – yes it felt good. We had excellent play from everyone on the field, Mitchell having one of his best games this season – awesome. The rest of the team effectively shut down Glenhaven’s attacks time and time again with Clayton doing his usual brilliant job in defence – Man of the Match given to Clayton – well done Clay. We would like to hand you the trophy but seem to have lost track of it – who has it?
