SLOPPY DEFENDING COSTS REAL...

<p class="MsoNormal">Real came into this game with their heads held high from last week&rsquo;s performance, it would be a tough ask for the players but everyone seemed confident.

<p class="MsoNormal">The manager went 4-5-1 with Cheese dropping to left mid, and Alfie starting up front alone.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sompting started well seeing a lot of the ball, putting pressure on the defence from the off

<p class="MsoNormal">On 27minutes the ball was played over the defences heads, linesman missing the offside &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2-0 Sompting.

<p class="MsoNormal">On 35minutes Sompting were rewarded a corner after some good play, ball played into the box and flapped at by the keeper leaving a striker to poke it into the net 3-0 Sompting.

<p class="MsoNormal">It wasn&rsquo;t a bad half from real, played some good football but the defending was poor all round as the goals could have been avoided.

<p class="MsoNormal">Half Time 3-0

<p class="MsoNormal">Change made from the manager at half time, Kier on for the injured Alfie

<p class="MsoNormal">Sompting carried on attacking, keeping Real on the back foot

<p class="MsoNormal">On 90minutes the linesman missing another offside, Real stood and watched as Sompting scored the 7th

<p class="MsoNormal">Final score Sompting 7-0 Real Rustington

<p class="MsoNormal">Manager: played well in places, a hard task against last seasons champions. A few of us didn&rsquo;t have our best game and against a team like Sompting you&rsquo;ll always get found out. At least we kept going and stayed together as a team, we have a few more games like this to contend with so hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and improve throughout the season.
