Away league match
It took a while for the boys to get into the game. Yet again we conceded an early gift of a goal with Colbourne giving away posesion inside our area leaving only the goalkeeper to beat (8).
The boys quickly settled themselves getting a goal back from a well taken finish from Trotter (21) and then going ahead with a lovely team move which saw the ball start with the goal keeper and end with a good finish from Tumba (27) taking a 2-1 lead into the break.
The biggest moment of the game saw a Tumba goal then ruled out (63) for an inexplicably given offside.
The boys shook this off and minutes after were then awarded a penalty for a rash foul by their keeper in the box.
The resulting Trotter penalty sailed over the bar and Burgess Hill Rhinos went on to equalise witha late header after some good work from the goalscorer (84).
Roberts making his debut today had a late chance to win the game after being put through but the Rhinos keeper got out in time to ensure the game ended as a draw.
The Royals should feel they were the better team today having had most of the ball and played the better game. The home team didn't really have to work for their chances so we need to improve in that area quickly.
