Match report   Today’s game was against Pickering away in the league which would prove to be a tricky game given the 48hrs worth of rain prior to the game making the conditions underfoot ‘very heavy’.

For the first game this season we had all 12 players in attendance with the 3 York City triallists bolstering the squad late notice due to a cancelled York City game.

The lions began the game very delicately and invited Pickering to attack. The defence of Ellis, Dougie and Simeon were very strong and limited Pickering to only a few direct shots on game which allowed Jake to show his great ‘shot stopping’ ability.

Ethan created his first assist from one of his corners which allowed Ollie to bundle the ball into the net to put the Lions 1-0 ahead. Pickering came back and the result from a corner saw Jake make a massive contribution to the game by somehow clawing the ball to safety after the ball had ‘spun’ on the crossbar.

Jordan was partnering Ollie upfront and they complemented each other well. It was this partnership that saw the Lions go 2-0 up. Damian from his unusual midfield role fed Ollie who in turn rolled the ball into Jordan’s path before he fantastically placed a low shot into the corner of the goal giving Pickering goalkeeper no chance. 2-0 to the Lions and the confidence began to show. Prior to half time Ethan dropped two corners into the penalty box allowing Damian to finish and Ollie head one home giving Ethan a hat-trick of assisted corners. It was noted to Andy and Pete from the Pickering coach that his team didn’t like facing the corner ‘specialist’. Andy began to show his pace to the Pickering defence who struggled to cope with the speed and was unlucky with a few great runs. Half time came with the Lions 4-0 ahead.

Alfie, Louis and George came on for the second half (a cracking substitution bench for any team in the York league) and continued to dominate the midfield. Alfie, George and Andy were unlucky not to find themselves on the score sheet particularly Andy who hit the foot of the post with an angled shot.

Jake had a quiet second half mainly due to the superb back three who were on top of their game.

The Lions had a myriad of chances in the second half but couldn’t capitalise but the panacea to the boggy pitch was found; pass and move and aim to win as many corners as the Lions could!

The game ended 4-0 allowing another clean sheet to be annotated on the Lion’s seasons stats to date. A good victory given the circumstances on the day.

The PotM for Fulford was selected the manager and coach both deciding that Simeon shaded the game on a day everyone gave all and a notable mention given to Doug who played very well and Jordan gave a battling performance added a goal and showed when playing with confidence he is a real handful for any defence.

Well done again to the Lions.
