Valley Fall At Another Hurdle

<p>KVFC played there 4th game of the season at home to Uphill Castle Reserves.

<p>Both teams promoted from last year were looking for there first win of the season.

<p>Uphill started brightest of both teams with good possesion of the ball & using the full width of the pitch. This stretched valley & 25 minutes into the game it was Uphill who found themselves in front. A well crossed ball from the left hand side saw mixup between defender & goalkeeper & the Uphill Striker was on target to put them 0-1 ahead.

<p>The first goal seemed to knock Kenn Valleys confidence as in the next 5 minutes they were to be 0-2 down after a well timed through ball saw the Uphill striker 1 on 1 with Stu Wilson in the Valley goal with the striker tucking the ball through the legs of Wilson. Valley were again backs against the wall 30 minutes into the game.

<p>In the latter stages of the first half Valley were trying to push with chances coming from Ben Stanley & Josh Davies. Both of which just wide of the goal.

<p>Half Time KVFC 0 - 2 Uphill Castle Res

<p>KVFC started the better of the 2 teams in the second half cutting the supply through the middle of the park & retaining good possesion. However it was Uphill who had the better of the chances with some good passing moves & Stu Wilson in Goal keeping Valley in the game.

<p>The last 20 minutes of the game saw Valley push to try & get back into the game & they had a lifeline when a well crossed ball deflected into the path of Ryan Mogg 20 yards from goal striking a half volley into the bottom corner.

<p>Valley having all the possesion & Uphill sitting deeper gave one last chance at the end of the game when Stu Pedder drew an oncoming keeper & squared the ball to the edge of the area finding Ben Stanley. With only the defender on the line to beat a well struck shot saw an excellent defensive clearance winning Uphill all 3 points.

<p>Valley have now lost two games on the bounce & are still looking for there first win of the season. Their next game is up against Locking Park at Home.
