06 Jan 2013 - Highworth Town Juniors T (H)

FROM THE WHISTLE, WE WERE IT SEEMED ON FORM CONSIDERING IT WAS THE FIRST GAME OF THE NEW YEAR. WE WERE GOING IN STRONG AND THE BALL WAS BEING PASSED WELL. LIAM MADE SOME GOOD DECISIONS AND KEPT THE PRESSURE ON FORCING HIGHWORTH TO MAKE MISTAKES. LEWIS ONCE AGAIN MADE SOME GREAT SAVES AND IMPROVES EVERY WEEK.

HOWEVER WE LOST OUR FOCUS AND IN A RELATIVELY SHORT SPACE OF TIME HIGHWORTH SCORED TWO GOALS. OUR ENERGY SEEMED TO DWINDLE AND THE IT BECAME A HARD SLOG.

KORBEN HAD SOME GREAT BATTLES AND SHOWED TRUE DETERMINATION. NAV WAS ALWAYS IN THE GAME, BUT DIDN'T SEEM HIMSELF TODAY, NOT THAT IT STOPPED HIM TRYING TO CLOSE DOWN HIS OPPONENTS HALF TIME WE WERE 0-3 DOWN.

THE SECOND HALF STARTED WHERE IT LEFT OFF! HIGHWORTH WERE HUNGRIER THAN US AND STILL POTENT, WE ONCE AGAIN SEEMED TO LACK A SENSE OF URGENCY. 0-4

WITH LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GO, WE FOUND OURSELVES AGAIN. OUR PLAY WAS GOOD TO WATCH AND CAUSED HIGHWORTH CONCERN, EVEN BRINGING THE GOALIE OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE.

ROBBIE WORKED RELENTLESSY ALONGSIDE CALLUM, JAMES AND KAI BUT WE SEEMED TO HAVE TROUBLE BREAKING HIGHWORTH DOWN AND GETTING THE BALL INTO THEIR GOAL END.

CALLUM AND RAISHAM HAD A SERIES OF RUNS, AND SHOTS, PASSING TOO AND FRO – AT LAST ONTO JAMES WHO TOUCHED IT IN. 1-4

WE CONTINUED TO FIGHT TO THE END, WITH OUR HEADS NEVER DROPPPING AND MAKING HIGHWORTH WORK HARD. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAME BACK WITH TOO LITTLE A LITTLE TOO LATE!
