Home league match
well start of a busy 3 games in 7 days for us saw us up against 2nd in table AFP. Wasn't the best of starts already knowing we had no goalkeeper for a few others not to show up too left us with just 12. So we lined up reynolds in goal a bk 4 of badger ian brunyee n dosh. jonty n sean was the holding 2 with rougvie pip n jonni the midfield attacking 3 with parkey leading the line. Left spanky as the only sub so me and alan decided to get changed.
On loosing the toss afp gave us the advantage of kicking down the slope 1st half and we set off well playing some good football we created a few half decent chances but nothing clear. then after about 20 mins an awful tackle on jonty high over the ball caught him just below the knee jonty wasnt happy and got up and gave him a good boot lol. The ref had no choice but to send both players off. it got worse for us 5 mins later as jonni was in a tackle and come of the worse which could see him out for the rest of the season. So on came jake to replace him. We didnt let it get us down and deservedly took the lead when ian smashed home from a rebound of afps keeper from parkeys header. AFP was dangerous on the break and had a few good moments around our box but the bk 4 was solid and stood strong. We had a few good chances to double our lead only for there keeper to pull a few good saves off.
2nd half we knew we had to keep going and using the width as thats were we was getting our joy and it was our winger who doubled our lead after some great closing down from parkey on afps keeper it dropped to rougvie who made himself a yard and smashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner. Our 2 goal advantage didnt last long when afp hit bk minutes later to make it 2-1. With us getting tired and only me n alan left there wasnt much we could do but with 10 mins left i replaced rougvie who was bolloxed after having a superb game. afp still a threat and we needed our stand in keeper to keep us infront after a good low strike superb save tipping it away from the danger area. i also had a moment i should have done better with but i blame als poor shot in end ah but we saw the game out well and took a fully deserved 3 points.
overall very proud of u all today played well at times dug in and worked yer tits off for them 3 points utc
