MATCH REPORT

This week it was a much better and closer game like we all hoped.

The Reds surged to an early 2 goal lead thanks to a bit of magic from El and Mike. They were given half a yard space and both were despatched well.

Both teams were actually playing really well as defensive units. The Reds had more of the possession but were finding it difficult to get past a solid partnership of Balf and Ryan. On top of that Ian was doing a job on Mike pretty much man marking him the whole game.

The Blues finally got their breakthrough with a few quick goals from Dim and from then on it was a bit of a stalemate for 30 minutes.

Hardly any more goals were scored, the defending was excellent and the goalkeepers were making saves when called upon.

With 30 minutes left the Blues put on a brilliant 10 minute spell to take control of the match. With players getting more tired, John was finding himself with more space and was receiving the ball as the target man. Everytime he was put into the corner, support was charging in from the Blues players and John picked them out everytime. The Blues were ruthless in taking the chances. Balf scored a quick hat trick and Ian also scored a crucial goal. Dim was also on the scoresheet with some excellent goals and John was racking up the assists.

The Reds were shocked with this spell and found themselves with a mountain to climb. A few consolation goals came but the Blues were too strong and solid defensively and saw out the game to a comfortable scoreline.

The game was close for long periods but a great 10 minutes from the Blues sealed the victory. The Reds played their part in a good game but let it slip by not picking up the runners. Well played Blues excellent team performance.
