Much better performance this week, well, eventually! First half we played halfway and although our intention to stop the flow of goals was right, this just didn't work to our favour. Partly due to people playing literally half-way, so we had this flat wall and Thatched found it easy to break us down with through balls behind. Maybe we were just too eager to get forward and forget last week. Anyway, they kept on scoring!
Then with about ten minutes to go, their fastest player was accidently clipped by Stimo and this led to an incident which changed the game in our favour. Firstly we changed to man-to-man marking and secondly, started showing some passion. The game became a lot tighter but come halftime, we were still 8-1 down!
With their quickest man out of the game and our team closing down quicker, we started scoring some goals and Paul played a huge role in turning things around, not just with his goals but his work ethic. Likewise Stimo was another who scored and kept running. The team overall found some memory of how we can play when we work together and try.
Was it not for some unlucky incidents and dodgy rebounds to their favour, we may have found a few more goals but time had other ideas. The game ended 9 - 12 to them and with us being able to lift our heads a bit higher.
Goals: Dave S (1), Paul (4), Ste H (1), Stimo (3)
Team: Burke, Dave S, David, Paul, Graeme, Ste H, Stimo
