Match report	The result of this match really could have gone either way. The Ebors started off the stronger team with some good passing and movement around the pitch. We moved the ball well from defence through to attack. I chose a 3-2-1 formation which worked well with Jay,Max & Scot working well in defence linking up with Isaac & Sam in Midfield with Fin working hard as the lone striker. Although we went a goal down against the run of play - a strong surge down the left wing from Fin who put in a precise cross to Isaac who beat a player and cooly slotted the ball bottom left into the net. Rawcliffe were quick on the counter attack and soon found theback of our net again to go 2-1 ahead. The ebors are a resilient unit and we continued to pass and move well and finlay with a great finish brought us back level again. We could have closed this game out but Rawcliffe got a couple of quick goals at the end to run out winners. I feel a draw would have been a fairer result. Well to to Rawcliffe nonetheless. The Ebors have good individual players and today we really translated that into a Team performance. I was very impressed with the effort and footballing ability on display. Sam Pickup had a great game today - worthy of his man of the match.
