Hilltop 4 - 11 Thatched

Even though they only had 5, they out played us through most of the game. Their keeper was possibly the best we've faced this season and their outfield players closed us down really well. We didn't defend together effectively and left Graeme to deal with their attacks alone all too often. Gray was awesome and stopped the scoreline from being embarrasing.

We did have our chances, the unfortunate thing was Craig getting a knock on his injured ankle early on. Which meant we had lost our main goal threat and the rest of the team couldn't make up for it through either lack of fitness, form or confidence. We do have the resources to cover such things but not when the team plays like they did this game. It was good to see David knocking in 2 good goals out of nothing.

Even though the performance was dissapointing, we are still leading the division and we can just use this defeat to tighten up our shape and remember that we need to work hard and defend deep.

Goals: David (2), Craig (2)
Team: Burke, Craig, David, Craig, Ken, Ste H, Stimo
