Portville 4 – 3 Carrington

<p class="MsoNormal">Just to let you know that training will be off tonight and we are having a break for Christmas I will let you know if we have any fixtures scheduled as soon as I know.

<p class="MsoNormal">First I would like to thank everyone who played yesterday even though carrying knocks and in some situations shouldn&rsquo;t of really had played, I thank you for your efforts and commitment and I think if you was going to play through injury yesterday was the day. Started the day with a lot of players missing Saturday we looked like we had 10 but then we had a few players come to our aid and play through, 10 minutes in after some lovely footie being played in there half we was 2 &ndash; 0 down Craig had the ball at his feet twice and played a through and finished well the old Portville boy seemed up for it. Then we started to play.....

<p class="MsoNormal">What a game, Have to say Carrington really looked a different side to what we have experienced over the years and they are a very good side, so to grab a win over them in a great result especially with the inconsistent side and results we have had this season I think Carrington will definitely be up top come the end of the season.

<p class="MsoNormal">We passed the ball excellently yesterday , first 10 minutes we really held the ball well and caused a few problems but if never was clear cut just a few half chances, we got caught out with 2 long balls and to be 2 down was harsh, but that was the situation but we didn&rsquo;t abandon the passing we stuck to it and continued to try and play the ball around , the first goal was an excellent passing move which brought a fab save from Big Lee , only for Sam to roll the ball back into Russ to finish neatly. 2-1 and we had got a lifeline. Then we had a bit of silliness between a couple of our more passionate lads and this still rolled into half time , but they started touching each other and managed to sort it out. But I have to say I really don&rsquo;t want to see this happening again especially not in front of the opposition at half time, some of them got the popcorn out and was watching bit embarrassing let&rsquo;s keep our problems in house from now please.

<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;So we started at half time 2-1 down we still plugged away with the passing and finally Dave squared a ball into Reice who nipped round a defender to score making it 2-2. Now they upped the game which was taking its toll on the players that hadn&rsquo;t played for a while and due to this we made a change, shortly after we made an error and they went though and the winger scored a neat finish to put them 3-2 up , I hate to say but I thought looking on at the boy who had given everything we had lost out , but Griff Dave and Sam proved otherwise , Griff played a ball to Dave down the wing he fired this into the box and Sam scored a fantastic running finish. 3-3 . Carrington pushed for a winner and we counter attacked well it was real end to end stuff Reice hit a fabulous shot which lets be fair no other keeper would of stopped but Lee made a great save. And then Griff running on empty having not played for 6 months played a ball over to James whose first touch was excellent then he slotted past to make it 4-3. Motm was difficult yesterday as you all played well Dave was so close but Griff nicks it this week for coming straight in after months out and getting us going &nbsp;It was a great game and a brilliant end to a disappointing year &ndash; unbeaten in 6 now let&rsquo;s keep this going. We have drawn 2 that we should never have and some of those losses with a new players getting used to us wouldn&rsquo;t happen now which is a major positive as the new boys are stepping up and the old guard are slowly coming back &ndash; have a great xmas lads lets regroup and have a good go when we come back.
