09 Dec 2012 - Fairford Town Youth (H)

ONCE AGAIN WE BEGAN WITH DETERMINATION BUT SEEMED SLIGHLTY DISORENTATED. WHILST WE HAD SOME STRONG RUNS, OUR COMMUNICATION WAS LACKING AND WE COULD NOT QUITE SEEM TO CONVERT OUR ENTHUSASIM INTO GOALS. WE HAD SOME GOOD CALCULATED SHOTS AT GOAL BUT THE FAIRFORD GOALIE WAS ON FORM AND MADE SOME GREAT SAVES

TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIRST HALF WE SEEMED TO GAIN OUR COMPOSURE AND THE PASSING STARTED TO FLOW MUCH BETTER. AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF THE SCORE WAS A LEVEL 0-0, BUT FROM THE SUPPORTERS POINT OF VIEW, WE FELT THAT THE SECOND HALF WOULD GO OUR WAY.

SECOND HALF. FAIRFORD'S HALF TIME TALK DID THEM WONDERS, AS THEY CAME BACK STRONG AND DETERMINED. WE WERE IN FOR A HARD TIME. THEY SEEMED TO HAVE MORE SHOTS AT THE GOAL, BUT LEWIS MADE SOME GREAT DECISIONS AND CONSEQUENTLY SOME GREAT SAVES. AGAIN WE HAD PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES BUT COULD NOT SEE THEM THROUGH. OFTEN THERE WAS NO SENSE OF EMERGENCY AMONGST US.

THAT SAID OUR HEADS KEPT UP AND WE BATTLED ON. AFTER SOME BETTER ORGANISED PLAY WE CREATED SOME GOOD CHANCES AND WITH NOT MUCH TIME ON THE CLOCK CALLUM TOOK A SHOT WHICH AGAIN WAS SAVED, BUT POORLY SENT STRAIGHT BACK OUT TO A READY AND WAITING KAI WHO POPPED IT INTO THE NET.

FULL TIME A 1-0 WIN WE MADE HARD WORK OF THIS GAME, BUT IT WAS THE END RESULT THAT MATTERED AND WE GOT THERE IN THE END!
