Oxhey Wanderers Reserves 2 vs 5 Potten End

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">Superb display of bounce-back-ability!&nbsp;&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">Not the best start with one or two late arrivals (mentioning no names of course - GREG! - 3 minutes indeed!). I hoped it wouldn't cost us, and it didn't! A great team effort saw us comfortably into the match, and our first goal came quickly with Mikey lashing in from the wing. Game on ..... Until the equaliser! Oh well - onwards! The incident of the match happened now, and in no uncertain terms the keeper should have walked: Last man, a trillion miles out of his area, league officials what more do you need?&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">If we needed reminding then this was the tonic, and I think the commitment level and defending really spurred on from here. We took the lead back from a quickly taken free kick (undeterred from my previous quickly taken miss!!!), and there was Ben to spank it into the roof of the net - no messing!&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">Half time came and went, Macca having a much more pleasant task than of recent weeks, and did well to remind us that we had done the good work to get where we were. This obviously struck a chord, as the performance for the first part of the second period was just what the Gaffer had asked for. Mikey and Gary putting in exceptional efforts.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">A Potten Legend, turning on the style with a brace right from the top drawer, sealed the Game a MOM by any standards. The Machine not to be outdone, ending a mini barren streak with a score of his own.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">Well done Potten, it is going to however require one more of those to get us where we want to be (and then one more again!).

<p class="MsoNormal">Keep it Rotten.
