| Match report | A recent resurgence in York Cubs form meant that this fixture could not be taken lightly. Fortunately we were straight on the front foot with Olllie stroking home our opener with only 60 seconds on the clock. Fulford attacked relentlessly for much of the first half. Jordan added a second after 10 minutes at which point Peter switched Dougie to be a third striker. It took him only a matter of minutes to place the ball neatly into the back of the Cubs net for 3-0. In fact, after 20 minutes we could have been 10 or more to the good. We were totally dominant and only some fine 'keeping from Ed Fricker in the Cubs goal kept the scoreline to 3. Cubs did manage to get one back before the break. A punt downfield evaded Ethan and allowed their striker to run on to the loose ball and poke it past Jake. At half time the boys were praised for their effort, quality of play and particularly the number of on target opportunities we had created. The intention today was to have some rotation - both subs and positions. These changes did unsettle and unbalance the team a little both before and after half time. The result was that for a moment there were fears that Cubs might make it 3-2. With final planned changes made and Doug reverting to the centre of defence we again looked rock solid at the back and were creating chances up front. Louis took a knock which meant Andy came on for a minute while Louis recovered. Andy immediately joined an attacking move and fired a firm shot across the goalkeeper to make it 4-1. Cubs weren't coming back from that and an emphatic victory was sealed when Ollie blasted in one of his trademark thunderbolt strikes. A comfortable victory that could have been a rout without the heroic performance of the Cubs keeper. The boys can move forward to Friday with great confidence. HT 3-1 FT 5-1 MoM Louis |
