The Lads Done Good

Guildford City Pumas took on Staines Lammas Lions in the League cup.

The Lions, pushing for the top of Division 1, were a tough opponent for the Division 2 Pumas side but the lads were not intimidated by all the Barcolona-esq warm ups and for the first few minutes matched them pass for pass. However a fluid Lions team move gave them a 1 on 1 that Liam did well to get a hand on, but unfortunately the shot snuck in under the post. The lads refused to let their heads drop and the next 13 minutes contained exciting attacking and defending by the Pumas with Benny, Sean and T getting in some great tackles. A superb long shot by Sammy was parried and held by the lions keeper, which may have crossed the line but wasn't given. Then after another great run on the right by Sammy, flighting in a cross that arrived at Harry's feet who calmly and intelligently passed to Lucca to score. Half time 1-1. The second half led to a scramble after 2 minutes and the Lions were in front for the second time. Again the lads refused to give up and two minutes later a pass to the edge of the box from Lucca to Sammy, led to some great "Argie Bargey" as Sammy went round 1, held off two and got his shot away. 2-2. Game on. Chances for both teams arrived thick and fast with both keepers ensuring the stalemate continued. With 2 minutes to go a run on the wing with the resultant cross led to another scramble and the ball was poked away to give the lions the lead again. With this the Lions coach made 4 substitutes over the last 2 minutes to kill the game off and give the Lions the win. Even though this was a loss the whole team came off with their heads held high. Every single player gave their all and played the best football of the season so far. It all bodes so well for the coming weeks, that just cant come around quickly enough. As the title says "The lads done good"

Appologies for the poor quality vids and pics this week.
