Match report   We only had 11 men available today so we had to rethink the line up a little, Ben as usual in goal, although he is starting to show some real qualities as an out feild palyer, but we needed him in goal today as we knew it could be tight.
And we were going with 3 at the back, the lads palyed well and it was essential that Guy kept the line and he did this really well, he likes to battle and he didnt let us down today, Cameron was again veryimpressive and Ross played an outstanding first half of football, he was reading the game and whipping in some great balls.

Midfield was where we won it today we played David T in a midfeild role with him dropping to support the defence where needed, with him and chris in centre midfleid we had 2 big lads who are very comfy ith the ball dominating things and picking up a lot of balls Oli B took full advantage of this and was running into all sort of space and kept progressing forward into dangerous positions. and with Oli C on left and Seth on the right most of the play took place in Woodthorpes half of the field.

Aaron and james were up front who knows what could happen was my thoughts on the line up

Never the less we had a couple of dodgey moments and woodthorpe took advantage of some of our indecsion and nicked a goal when we failed to clear it this was a real sucker punch and the lads deflated a little by going down a goal.

However they battled on and it was looking like the same thing was going to happen again and we play a decent game and get beat, things were going quite well for us we continued to play in their half we just didnt look like scoreing we had some real close ones, missed a couple of sitters and so on.

Wood thorpe have a really speedy defender and he was cutting out a lot of attacks from us, then a sweet move from us got the ball through to Aaron who was by now really battleing hard like a captain should to get us on the score sheet, as a team we need to be careful when it gets like this as our battlieng can turn to frustration and we start doing some silly things, not today though Aaron picked it up and stuck it in the net.

1-1 and the lads lifted again James who doesnt lack pace himslef discovered that he might not be as fast as the speedy defender but he certainly was more skilful and he begun winning things in the area and looked a real threat.Seth batled on despite getting an injury

The back 3 were cutting out an awful lot and were firing the ball back up to our attackers and what came next was a real pearl Oli C picked the ball up on the left wing and saw the keeper off his line and from 35 yards he lofted the ball it went over the keeper and started bouncing towards goal behind him, he began to chase it and we all held our breath, he didnt get it and Oli C scored a wonder goal.



they were not satisfied with that and another attack began and David Chirs Aaron and james were all involved and Chris stuck it in the back of the net for a 3-1 win.

On the day we deserved it Woodthorpe played well and as a team we really like them they are similar to us a nice bunch who dont back chat and give refs a hard time.

All the lads played really well and me and John are very proud of their performance, and a man of the match was a tough choice it could have been any number of them, but for his spirit and detemrination against a really good defender James was this weeks Man of the match

Thanks to John Dunwoody for been the ref he did a great job and was fair to both sides.

Well done lads

Our learning points we closed them down better than last week, but we still turned in to packed areas when attacking and we need to practice some simple football.

And our communication we are a nice team and very polite to one another but sometimes players need to shout my ball and be assertive in those situations.

So we will practice some of this in trianing
