A Controlled Performance Followed A Difficult Start

If ever there was a need to describe a game over the 90 minutes to prove the benefit of a “team” performance this was it. A team isn’t about 11 players, it’s about the squad and the 14 who take part in the fixture. This will become ever so more important as the season gets underway.

The starting 11 was very different from the 11 whom controlled the first phase of the previous fixture. Without a first choice keeper the first 10 minutes were always going to prove difficult. But the selection of Dragons players grew into the game and the start became unimportant. Following two fairly soft goals the Dragons went on to Control and dominate the last 70 mins of the game. This was an idea outcome to

A preseason game as options will become an important part of the planning for a Premier League season.

Coulman broght Harchester back into the game before Foster equalised. At 2-2 the game effectively restarted for the Dragons and the result was deserved following a classic Chadwick goal and a second for Foster.

No league will be easy to become champions. The top League will be the hardest of them all. But the performance today from front to back showed the quality that had rewarded this talented team with back to back Championships.

There may be many more performances that are needing of such a level of determination and belief. But this squad had exciting potential and still a lot to show in the case of potential .

You can only look forward to the start of the season following such a typical deep performance. There may be a much harder task ahead of this talented Harchester United squad this season, but they should be confident and full of belief that they can and will prove themselves as the best team in the East Riding County League.
