MATCH REPORT
Last weeks was a cracking match, game 2 was also another fantastic game!
El and Tony in midfield lit the opening 20 minutes up with some unplayable football supported by John up top. Intricate passing and lightning quick movement on and off the ball meant the Blues stormed to a 4 goal lead and deservedly so. Andy and Nathan were sniffing out all the attacks from the Reds and it was completely one sided.
The Reds shuffled their positions around and this seemed to help them get a foothold in the game. Dim, Balf and Mike were starting to see more of the ball and were creating chances. Their patient play soon paid off as the goals then started to come, their tails were up and right back in the game.
The 2nd half was quite an evenly matched affair. The Reds had more of the possession and they really had to work hard for their goals. Dim and Balf kept finding the bottom corners with some great finishing. But as soon as they scored the Blues seemed to hit them back straight away, with either a quick breakaway, or the Blues capitalising on sloppy play from the Reds.
The most crucial part of the match then happened which decided it. Elliot and Tony caught a 2nd wind of devastating form when they had 4 chances in 10 minutes and finished every single one off. Superb finishing.
The Blues now had what looked like a comfortable 5 goal lead.
The Blues made the mistake of sitting really deep and the Reds came charging forward. They kept patiently working the ball around and Dim was in fine form, scoring some wonderful goals. The Reds got within 1 goal.
Balf then had a one on one with Joel with a few minutes left, Joel pulled off a massive save to keep the Blues in front. Huge moment.
The Blues were hanging on in truth but stayed in front the whole game and managed to win by 1 goal. Another great game lads well played everyone!
