| Match report | A league game versus Pickering Town on a fresh spring day awaited the Lions who were ‘up for it’ and confident after 2 recent 5 and 6 nil victories. Having Dougie back from his holiday only strengthened the defence. The Lions started the game very well with Pickering defending deep. The Lions began in a familiar 3-3-2 formation. Jake kept goal with Ellis, Dougie and Simeon ahead of him. Ethan, Louis & Jack began across the middle of the park with Damian and Ollie playing deep up front. In training we worked on playing the 'through' ball in between the opponents defence for our strikers to run on to and today Andy K was looking to see this in the game. Ollie calmed the players initial nerves with a fine low right foot shot that nestled in the bottom right corner to put the Lions 1-0 up after 20 minutes. The Lions had an abundance of chances to make the score line greater. Ellis imparticular attacked down the left in true ‘Ashley Cole’ style and was unlucky not to score when a Pickering defender cleared his effort off the line. Damian added the second soon after with a great finish. With 5 minutes to go in the first half Louis arrowed through a fine ball to breach the Pickering defence allowing Ollie to run on to it and lash it home to make it 3-0. The training plan was evident. Half time saw the Lions 3-0 up. We began the second half very strong. Ethan turned his game up a notch and with Louis played some very intelligent balls thorough onto Ollie and Damian's runs. Damian managed to get himself on the end of one of Ethan’s crosses to strike the ball into the top of the goal to make it 4-0. Jack was unlucky not to add to the score line with a shot that has ‘crossed’ the line in Andy Kay’s opinion just before the Pickering defence cleared the ball. The referee aired on caution and disallowed the goal. Ellis was also unlucky with a further 2 chances. Simeon was rock solid with Dougie and Ellis at the back ensuring Jake would not concede today. Fulford attacked in waves playing some great football on either flank with Jack and Louis troubling the Pickering wings. The Pickering goalkeeper however played very well. The fifth goal came from an Ethan long range shot that took a wicked bobble to leave the Pickering goalkeeper helpless to make it 5-0. The game ended 5-0 but Fulford on another day could have had 10 with Ollie and Damian unlucky not to bag a hat trick each. All 9 Fulford players played very good today with Andy deciding on the players to vote for the PotM keeping his contenders in his mind. Ellis, Simeon and Ethan were unlucky on a day that Ollie played very well and took the most votes (3). A great performance from the Lions that ensures the visit to Rawcliffe next week (in what will be a tough match) will be approached with confidence after scoring 16 and conceding zero goals in the last 3 games. This particular statistic shows how good our attacking and defending football is currently being played. Well done to all. FT 5-0 HT 3-0 Scorers – Damian 2, Ollie 2, Ethan 1 PotM – Ollie |
