| Match report | Today’s game was against Strensall at home in the league and being down to nine fit players put the pressure on from the start. The lions began hesitantly allowing Strensall to attack freely but found Simeon, Dougie and Ellis in top form, protecting Jake well. The catalyst for the team performance began when Andy received a fine Louis pass, took one touch and fired the ball in the bottom corner of the Strensall goal giving their gk no chance. This pivotal moment saw the team spring into action; Louis and Ethan began to boss the midfield. Andy’s pace began to terrorise the Strensall defence and one of his run's saw Damian head in a cross at the far post to make it 2-0. This was the score at half time. Andy K told the boys to relax and play football, ‘pass and move’ with direction to shoot on sight. A different team came out with more belief and attacked in waves. Jordan and Damian worked very well together up front. Jordan scored the 3rd from a rebound from a Damian shot; putting into practise ‘being alert’ for any rebound which we study at training. Jordan took great confidence from this goal and continued to hold the ball up well with some very unselfish play. Damian scored a fourth from a clever Ellis through ball to make it 4-0. Ethan soon after added a fifth with a ‘trademark’ free kick from the left giving the keeper no chance to save it as it swerved with some power. The sixth and final goal was a ‘team’ goal. Andy fed Louis who played the perfect pass for Jordan to run onto and flick the ball over the oncoming Strensall goalkeeper where the ball nestled into the corner of the goal. A joy to watch. The game finished 6-0 and was the result of a ‘total’ team played game. The defence were dominant today with Sim, Dougie and Ellis looking very good. Ethan, Louis and Andy in the ‘new look’ midfield played very well feeding Damian and Jordan who forged a great partnership together. The PotM went to Jordan for his 2 goals and great unselfishness play. He has developed at a rate recently and is coming into his own. He was chased closely for the accolade by a fine Andy Hanson performance who showed his pace is untenable for any defender in this league. That was the last performance in 2014 for the Lions and showed just how well the team can adapt after losing 2 very good players in George and Alfie to York City FC. We wish Alfie and George well for the future. Well done again to the Lions after a very good performance. Score 6-0 (HT 2-0) Scorers – Damian (2) Jordan (2) Andy (1) Ethan (1) PotM – Jordan |
