TEAMS
MATCH REPORT
The pre match hype was all about team selection and how the Blues were going to get battered all game. But the Blues played their part in a good game.
Both teams had clearly set tactics for their teams. The Blues put 6 men behind the ball when out of possession and were relying on clinical finishing to get a result. The Reds had targeted Balf as the danger man and Ian had the job of man marking him all game. They were hoping the pace of Elliot and Dim would win them the game.
The first half was like a chess match with both teams cancelling each other out. If anything, the ‘weaker’ Blues were the better team creating good chances and being really organised in defence. But they were unable to punish the Reds and missed a hatfull of chances. The Reds had fewer chances but were much more accomplished in their shooting with a few long range efforts finding the back of the net.
The game was locked level half way through and it was all to play for.
As players got more tired in the 2nd half the game opened more, particularly the Blues who seemed to be having to work twice as hard as the Reds. This allowed Ste and Tommy more time on the ball at the back and their distribution and good defending was starting to annoy the Blues. Ian was doing a job on Balf man marking him and it made attacking really difficult for the Blues.
The Reds got a few goals to take an advantage going into the final 20 minutes.
Elliot and Dim started to come into their own towards the back end of the game as the space opened up. They were beating people for fun and the goals were starting to flow. The Blues had to go at the Reds and pile forward and this really was their undoing. Dim and El scored some superb goals and were essentially the difference in the sides. The scoreline was 6 goals up for the Reds but this didn’t tell the full story.
Was a close game up until the final 20 minutes when the Reds took over. They take the final win of a brilliant season!
Ste takes the title with an end of season charge and pips Bryan by 1 point! 🏆 Andy, Bryan and El have had good seasons but just fall short, they live to fight another day! 👊
Cracking season lads 👍
Roll on season 5!

KEY STATS
Bryan will count himself unlucky this season, 7 wins from 8 games is really impressive! Play 10 games next season Bry 😉
Alan’s rotten season finally comes to an end with a record 8 loses. A season to forget but season 5 will definitely be better for him!
Tommy has had his best season yet with 6 wins from 8. Fantastic Tommy!
Andy and Elliot finish with the exact same record this season.
Every champion so far has had a minimum of 6 wins in a season. Looks like that’s the benchmark!
