Blackham And Ashurst Sarac 4 vs 0 East Peckham

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Back to league action this week and we faced a real boggie team of ours, East Peckham.&nbsp; A well organised and very competitive outfit, we always have very close games with them, and normally ending in them taking all the points.&nbsp; But we had done our homework however and this time around we had the perfect foil to deal with their predictable long ball style of play!!!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">With Hobbit still suffering with a tight hammy he was relegated to the kitchen to whip the pre match snacks and Hugo Van BastaBergen was called up from the reserves.&nbsp; It was all too much for Gandhi&rsquo;s Ghost last week so he was dropped in favour of Junior Slade.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">From the off the boys in Black and Red looked the more threatening.&nbsp; But they couldn&rsquo;t quite find a breakthrough.&nbsp; Fergy had one of the best chances shooting low and hard and forcing a good save from the young Peckham keeper.&nbsp; It was 0-0 at the break but there was no looks of panic or furrowed brows.&nbsp; The advice at half time was just to keep doing what your doing, just up the chat and run them in to the ground.&nbsp; And that&rsquo;s exactly what they did, driven by the voices of Bish and Huffers B&A poured forward and it was no surprise when the first goal went in.&nbsp; After a sustained amount of pressure BIG BISH rose like a tine of John West&rsquo;s Finest and headed home a Berty corner.&nbsp; With the goal they had been craving the football started to come.&nbsp; Huffers and Spud had the middle sewn up, Pat was bombing on from right back at every opportunity and under Bish&rsquo;s watchful eye Stan Bowles was immovable wall in East Peckham&rsquo;s way.&nbsp; Today Bowsley became a man and in front of his new shag too.&nbsp; No, not Bayley (who was there as well) but the Doris on the hill with the cheeky look in her eye!!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Before long it was 2-0.&nbsp; Hugo had come for 2Gun and after good work from Huffers and a little one to with Hugo it was sprayed out wide for Ferg who drilled in for Spud at the far stick to tuck home from close range.&nbsp; But it was Hugo himself who scored the goal of the game five minutes later.&nbsp; Bert won the ball in midfield and crashed through another challenge before rolling Hugo who picked his spot and curled in from 20 yards.&nbsp; By this time the Peckham keeper had picked up a nasty knock and was struggling. They had used all their subs so he had to struggle on and could do nothing about Spud&rsquo;s flat drive from just inside the 18 yard box. 4-0.&nbsp; Deserved by the home side but very harsh on the young keeper.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">An all round great performance from the squad against an under strength but plucky opposition.&nbsp; Three more points and a step closer to the big prize.
