MATCH REPORT
In the preview the game was billed as a massive game, it certainly lived up to the expectation it was a belter!
The Blues started the brighter team with some nice exchanges and they got their reward with a great swivel and turn from Bryan to go 1 up.
The Reds equalised but very quickly the Blues earned a penalty and Tommy gave us a lesson on how to take a penalty. Straight into the top corner with pace, keeper had no chance.
A few more goals from Dim, Bryan and Tommy the Blues and they found themselves 4-1 and looking the better side.
The Reds finally came into the game with Balf, Ian and John starting to find space on the ball in midfield. Andy and Ryan found themselves 3 v 2 on numerous occasions and the pressure started to tell as the Reds levelled it up.
From then on neither team pulled away and got a foothold on the match. There was the odd goal here and there from both teams but it was so close. The Blues were having some good chances but Alan was pulling off some unbelievable saves. The Reds would then hit them on the break but the Blues stubborn defence were just about keeping them it it.
The game got really competitive and as it was so close some controversial shouts were being made. Both teams wanted this one bad.
With 20 minutes to go the Reds upped it a gear and for the first time in the match they went ahead as Ian and Balf started finding his range with some superb goals. The Blues however kept cool heads and continued to throw men forward and got back level.
For the final 15 minutes no team conceded a goal and we approached 7:00. The call was made to play next goal wins and what a finale it was.
Every player that had a yard of space was shooting trying to win the match for their team. Balf hit a cracking shot which was saved expertly by Martin. Bryan then hit the crossbar and both teams were desperate for that winner.
Andy then took a chance and steamed forward as an extra attacker. He capitalised on a defensive mistake and with the 2nd bite of the cherry scored a toe poke with the left boot to get the 3 points.
What a fantastic, competitive match lads everyone played their part. No team deserved to lose but winner takes all is cruel to the team that lost. Great game lads roll on gameweek 6!
