| Match report | Won 3-1 on penalties A game versus Hamilton Panthers awaited the Lions on a fresh spring day. The Lions were confident as the Panthers are a division 2 side but Andy Kay warned the side against complatency. The game began at 100 mph; the Panthers were hungry and were first to every loose ball with what seemed a greater work ethic. Technical ability sided with the lions but the grit shown by the Panthers nullified this. The Lions had plenty of possession but could not capitalise on this until 10 minutes from half time when Ollie threaded a ball through to Damian who pushed the ball wide of the Panthers goalkeeper to put the Lions 1-0 up. Half time came and Andy warned the lions that the game needs a second goal for the Lions; until that time the game was open to an equaliser. The Lions went out and were still second to every ball and the Panthers really wanted the scalp of the Lions this game. An scrappy equaliser came for the Panthers and put the score at 1-1. The Lions could not force a second however the play was camped in the Panthers half. The full time whistle came and Pete told Andy that penalties would decide the outcome. Andy had a word with the boys to see who was up for the penalty kicks. 6 hands went firmly up in Louis, Simeon, Jack, Ollie, Damian and Jordan. In that order were the kickers selected. 5 and a sixth in the event of sudden death. Andy told Jake not to guess the side of the penalties but watch the ball and then make the save. This advice was taken by Jake. Andy also told the penalty takes to keep the ball low and on target and every chance it would go in. On the day, the first three penalty takers scored with cool finishes to the corner of the goals. Jake stepped up with 3 great penalty saves to win the game for the Lions. On a day when the Lions were not at their best, Jake stepped up and won them the game and deservedly took the PotM award. Semi finals here we come, well done to all. HT 1-0 FT 1-1. 3-1 Lions on penalties Scorer – Damian PotM - Jake Capt - Simeon |
