Away league match
A really good performance today which sadly wasn't matched by the result.
Only a few weeks ago, the same opposition ran riot against Roach Greens coming out 8-0 winners. Today we asked the team to give us their best performance possible and they didn't disappoint. From the first whistle, Roach Greens played as a team, closing down together, defending together and attacking together, totally dominating the first half. Completely against the run of play, Bury grabbed the first goal in the 17th minute. This time, heads didn't drop and Roach went straight back on the attack. In the 21st minute, Jailson picked up the ball on the left, beat a couple of players and hit a shot from a good 25 yards out which flew past the keeper and went in off the far post. Roach created more and more chances, particularly through Ewan down the right wing but couldn't grab a second goal and in the 34th minute, Bury grabbed another goal against the run of play. 2-1 at half time.
The team talk was easy today. Keep doing what you're doing!
The second half was more evenly matched and it wasn't until the 58th minute, when tired legs were starting to kick in, that Bury snatched a 3rd goal. Heads didn't drop again, Roach tried to get back in the game, Ewan creating havoc down the right again and Jailson testing the keeper from 35 yards with what would've been a goal of the season contender.
Final score was 3-1 but a huge improvement from recent weeks and a performance to be proud of.
Man of the match awards went to Xavi who did his job brilliantly, breaking up play in front of the defence, Josh who just slotted back in to his Captain's role after a long time out injured, and Dan who is becoming a real top quality left back.
Well done Greens.
