Foresters 66 2 vs 0 Tonbridge Junior Albion

<p>This report is a little difficult to write, as refereeing the game did not allow my usual view of the game.&nbsp; It did, however, give me a very different perspective in terms of the&nbsp;communication and&nbsp;encouragement the lads gave each other.&nbsp; It was a tough game, with a definite element of spice and&nbsp;I thought the lads behaved impeccably, battled fairly and were on top for the majority of the game.&nbsp;

<p>Tonbridge defended well and hit us on the break, keeping our defensive unit on their toes.&nbsp; Jamie was his usual assured self in goal, pulling off a couple of cracking saves.&nbsp; Robbie was unlucky not score from a neat header early in the first half and Luke created some great opportunities with his movement up front.&nbsp;

<p>Playing 4-4-2, there was far more activity down the wings on Sunday.&nbsp; Great team work from both Bradley and Dean, as well as Max and James, really showing that we have variety in our attacking options.&nbsp; Jack and Toby had strong performances in the middle, great voice again from Jack.&nbsp; In fact, there is a lot more chat between the lads than we hear from the side lines all over the pitch which was fantastic to witness.

<p>Our first goal was a little lucky, in so far as it was an own goal.&nbsp; Credit to James for powering in the cross, which deflected off one of the Tonbridge defenders.&nbsp; The best moment of the match came only two minutes later when Max broke forward from the left and hammered in a shot from well outside of the box, high into the next.&nbsp; The Tonbridge keeper had no chance and we were 2-0 up.

<p>There were two controversial moments in the match, one not seen by me (the ref), where credit goes to Toby for not retaliating.&nbsp; The second, a potential penalty incident and all credit goes to our ever impartial linesman Chris Beany for clarifying the situation.&nbsp; Drop ball the final outcome.

<p>Swiftly moving on&hellip;another week where all round team performance definitely earned 66 the win.&nbsp; Performances of note, Jack Beany in the centre for the second week in a row, but for raising his game in training and bringing that performance into a match situation MOTM went to Bradley.&nbsp; Bradley made a number of intelligent runs, encouraged Dean to overlap, crossed and shot with both feet, really good to see.

<p>Well done lads.
