TEAMS
MATCH REPORT
On paper the general consensus was the Blues looked like they had the stronger individuals in their team but the Reds slightly more balanced.
This is kind of how the match played out. The Blues started the stronger team with blistering runs from the front 3 which the Reds simply weren’t tracking and the Blues punished them. They stormed to a 3-0 lead and looked the stronger team.
The Reds kept calm though and kept going through their phases of knocking the ball around and eventually their patience paid off. The gaps started to appear and with John working the channels up front Ian and Balf started to find him and feed off him. The goals came and the Reds found themselves up with a healthy lead.
The Reds were their own worst enemy at times letting in a couple of sloppy goals through not marking their men properly and letting the Blues back into it.
This pattern followed for the rest of the game. The Reds would get a couple in front through some fantastic team play and brilliant finishing. The Blues would respond with some quick fire goals and get right back into the game. Notably Martin with a very creative goal assisting himself off the wall.
The difference between the 2 teams seemed to be the Reds were slightly more organised and knew where each man was playing. At times out of frustration the Blues would not be 100% sure of where the man was positioned which left some gaps. The Reds won by a single goal and I think were the better “team” and deserved their win. Another close game well played lads!
MAN OF THE MATCH
Bryan is this week’s MOTM with 4 votes. He played the utility man brilliantly playing well in all positions. He slotted in defence and made good blocks, tackles and surging runs. Up front he made himself available and scored some super goals from tight angles at crucial moments. Also pulled off some decent saves in goal. Had a great game well played Bryan!

Ian with 3
