Match report   What a game , the best game this season maybe even ever. We hadn't played for eight weeks due to weather and xmas and I knew we would be rusty it was like starting the season again. R.I had been playing friendlies and were up for this one as the manager before the game belived that if they won this they could go on and maybe win the league.
After 10min of the game he was proberly thinking that he was right as we went 3-0 down. As per norm every team bar us have an adult playing for them and for 10min he ran riot scoring 2 and setting up another. We were not getting the tackles in on him and allowed him to run at will at us, this was maybe due to our long lay off but we hadn't got to the pace of the game. I had to stop him and get control of the game , we had to sacrifice Harry and go man to man in order to stop him, once we had done this that was his game over as Harry did a fantastic job for the team and although it wasn't his natural game, as he likes to get forward ,he was very proffesional.
With this sorted we began to play and got hold of the game our possesion led to a through ball for Matty to latch on to and tuck away without any doubt 3-1 only 15mins played. We were now playing and up to speed but to our amazement the ref gave a penalty for handball when the ball was blasted at Dan from a yard, no intention thier ref. 4-1 and some of thier players were saying we might get double figures here.
We were playing well now and just before half time we got one back to make it 4-2 at half time.
At half time I told the boys that their was more goals in this game and if we got the next one we could go on and win it so we had to get the next goal.
The second half was as good as it gets as we controled the game from the off and with Harry shadowing thier danger man they didn't carry the same threat. We managed to get the next goal early on in the second half with a goal that involved half of the team as the ball was passed right through R.I 4-3 one goal behind now, our tails were up.
We then went through a 10min period of total domination yet we missed chance after chance I was begining to think it wasn't going to come but the lads kept battering away and as R.I got tiered we opened them up and Jay scored our equaliser with about 5mins remaining. I would have taken that after our poor start but we never stopped pouring forward and were rewarded when Matty got the winner from a tight angle a great goal to win a great game and well deserved, it proved great determination as we have never been in that position this season and if we just keep playing good footbal chances will come. Great game fantastic result.
