Westbury Shakers 2 Roach Dynamos 2

First 11 a side friendly away against Westbury Shakers. Roach started the game well and dominated what was quite a scrappy game. They duly took the lead on 20 mins, Logan with a smart volleyed finish from Jailson’s corner. Ewan and Joe had good chances but couldn’t quite take them to extend the lead. At the other end the back three of Harvey, Josh and George along with keeper James were coping well with any threat from Westbury. Half time came with Roach leading 1-0. The second half saw Westbury upping their game and Roach’s energy and intensity dropping off .Westbury came back into the game with a well taken penalty on 39 mins and then took the lead 8 mins later when Callum was unfortunate to deflect a corner into his own goal. Roach dug deep and raised their game again dominating the last 15 mins and creating several good chances. Eventually with just 3 minutes left, the deserved equaliser came after Ewan followed up a shot from Jailson that came back of the post after a save from the keeper. The last 3 minutes saw wave after wave of Roach attacks and despite Jailson hitting the bar and Cody volleying just wide from a corner, it finished 2-2. Overall a good performance to start the new season adapting to a new formation and some new players. Well done Greens!
