TEAMS

MATCH REPORT

After a long lay off, a lot of the blues players were a bit rusty at the start to say the least. Not Tommy though, 1st long ball into him and the instant control was like a pro. It was a sign of his performance to come.

The Reds came out of the blocks firing and punished the Blues on the break time after time. The pace of Tony, Elliot and Dim was too much for the Blues defence and they just kept scoring at will. The Blues defenders were putting in some tough tackles but this didnt seem to stop the onslaught.

The Blues left a huge gap between defence and attack. Mart and Tommy just kept picking the passes out and letting the attackers do the rest.

The Reds were absolutely flying and found themselves an astonishing 9 goals up. Tony was on fire and seemed to find the back of the net everytime he had a chance, including a top bins rocket! With Ryan, Tommy and Mart solid at the back this match was only going one way.

Half way through the match the Blues changed thier tactics and decided to push everyone further up the pitch and pass the ball around more. This seemed to work as they started creating chances, Balf and Mike started to put a few away. The Blues were starting to make the scoreline a bit more respectable. Bryan was also pulling off some unbelievable saves and kept it from getting embarrassing.

For the final 20 minutes the Reds didn’t score a single goal, mainly thanks to Bryan. But credit to the Blues, they battled back and got the difference down to 4 goals.

But when you go 9 goals down you are not getting a win. The Reds were by far the better team, got their tactics right and were ruthless in front of goal.

Good to be back lads well played Reds! 🔴
