30 Sep 2012 - Pewsey Vale (A)

STRAIGHT IN TO THE GAME PEWSEY STARTED WELL, DRIVING FORWARD AND GIVING LEWIS PLENTY OF WORK TO DO. READING THE GAME LEWIS MADE GOOD DECISIONS SAVING WELL. LIAM WAS ON FORM TODAY DEFENDING FROM THE OFF, PROTECTING HIS END AND KICKING THE BALL OUT. PEWSEY HAD A LONG HARD GOAL KICK, WHICH RAISHAM HEADED OUT STRAIGHT BACK AT THE GOALIE; THE KEEPER JUST TIPPED IT OVER THE POST. GOOD HEAD. PEWSEY RETALIATED RUNNING UP THE PITCH, WITH A CRAFTY SHOT ON TARGET. 0-1 TO PEWSEY. OUR HEADS DROOPED SLIGHTLY, BUT WITH THE ENCOURAGMENT FROM THE SIDELINE DECIDED FOR THE ONLY OPTION. TO PLAY THE GAME! CALLUM TOOK A RUN PASSING TO THE LEFT ON TO KAI WHO TOOK A SHOT WITH HIS LEFT. GOAL 1-1 FIERCE ON THE ATTACK PEWSEY QUICKLY BAGGED ONE BACK. 1-2 KORBEN JUST BACK FROM HIS EUROPEAN TOUR WAS FINDING IT HARD TO KEEP THE PACE, BUT HE WAS JUST WAITING TO COME OUT OF HOLIDAY MODE. RAISHAM MADE SEVERAL BREAKS AS DID, KAI, CALLUM, KORBEN AND ROBBIE ALL TAKING SHOTS, WHICH WERE SAVED BY AN ON FORM PEWSEY GOALIE BUT CALLUM WAS HAVING NONE OF THIS HE FORGED HIS WAY THROUGH MAKING IT 2-2 FOR HALF TIME. THE TENSION WAS MOUNTING. SECOND HALF THIS HALF SHOULD HAVE BEEN HARDER FOR US, AS WE WERE RUNNING UP HILL TO THE GOAL. (IT WAS QUITE A SLOPE!) BUT WE PLAYED WITH EFFICIENCY AND VIGOUR. RAISHAM BROKE LOOSE BUT WAS TAKEN DOWN. THE FREE KICK RESULTED IN A CORNER INTO KORBEN WHO SHOT WIDE. NAV AS EVER WAS DEFENDING SOLID AND MADE GOOD CHOICES OF WHEN TO PASS UP THE LINE AND WHEN TO TACKLE THE BALL OUT OF THE PITCH. IT IS REASSURING TO SEE HIS CALMNESS IN THE LINE OF FIRE, AND IT USUALLY PAYS OFF. ROBBIE WAS ENTHUSASTIC WITH ENERGETIC RUNS AND PASSES TO FREE PLAYERS. A GOOD KEEN EYE TODAY. CALLUM TOOK A PASS TO KAI WHO SHOT AT GOAL, IT BOUNDED OUT, LIAM READ THE GAME PERFECTLY TAKING CONTROL HE SCORED HIS FIRST FOR WB YELLOWS. 3-2 WE HAD MORE FANTASTIC TEAM PLAY WITH THE MAJORITY OF POSSESION. PRECISE PASSES, CONTROLLED TACKLES, ON TARGET SHOTS. PEWSEY WANTING A WIN ON HOME TURF, BATTLED THROUGH WITH ANOTHER. 3-3 WE LOST OUR FORM SLIGHTLY AND PEWSEY SAW THIS. GAINING ANOTHER ONE QUICKLY. 3-4 A HANDBALL WAS AWARDED TO PEWSEY (NO COMMENT!). ON THE SPOT LEWIS LEAPED WITH DETERMINATION. IT WAS A GOOD STRONG PENALTY. 3-5 JAMES CAME ON AND SCORED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. 4-5. THIS SHOOK UP OUR DETERMINATION, NOW WE WANTED THE GAME BACK. THIS WAS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED AND PEWSEY DID NOT WANT! CALLUM FLEW THROUGH THE ARE LIKE SUPERMAN TO DEFLECT A BALL, IT WAS A FANTASTIC MOVE, HOWEVER IT TOTALLY WINDED HIM! PLAYING ON RAISHAM SEIZED THE MOMENT AND BROUGHT US BACK TO 5-5. MORE OF THE SAME, BUT WITH TIME RUNNING OUT. THE WHISTLE POISED IN THE REF'S MOUTH, AS HE WATCHED HIS WATCH, RAISHAM DECIDED IT WAS PAY BACK AND REAPEATED HIS PREVIOUS MOVE WITH A LOVELY RUNAND A LOVELY GOAL. 6-5. PEWSEY STILL NOT GIVING IN MANAGED TO EQUALISE AS THE WHISTLE FINALLY BLEW! A FANTASTIC GAME THAT KEPT US JUMPING ON THE SIDE LINE. WELL DONE AGAIN BOYS.
