17 Feb 2013 - Stratton Juniors Black (A)

TO START WITH WE WERE A LITTLE SCRAPPY AND STRUGGLING TO STICK TO O UR POSITIONS. THIS CAUSED STRATTON TO PUT PRESSURE ON IMMEDIATELY AND LEWIS HAD TO MAKE HIS FIRST SAVE OF THE DAY. WE PUSHED UP A GEAR AND STARTED TO FORCE STRATTON BACK, BUT THE DEFENCE WAS BIG AND SOLID. STRATTON RETALIATED WITH A GOOD RUN AND A GOOD GOAL. 1-0

SID HAD A GOOD RUN, AS DID AT TIMES KAI, RAISHAM, CALLUM AND JAMES BUT WE COULD NOT BREAK DOWN THE DEFENCE NOR GET ROUND HIM. NAV AND LIAM DID WELL IN DEFENCE, BLOCKING MANY CHANCES FOR STRATTON.

LADY LUCK WAS NOT ON OUR SIDE AS WHEN WE DID BREAK THROUGH WE JUST COULD NOT MANAGE TO CONVERT THOSE SHOTS INTO GOALS, AND WE JUST NEEDED TO SUPPORT EACHOTHER A LITTLE MORE WHEN THE GOALS WERE IN REACH, AND FOLLOW THE SHOTS THROUGH.

LEWIS WAS AGAIN UNDER PRESSURE AND MADE TWO SPECTACULAR SAVES. HALF TIME 1-0

STRATTON CAME BACK MEANING BUSINESS WHILST WE TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO SPRING INTO ACTION. QUITE QUICKLY IT WAS 2-0

ONCE WE FOUND OUR CONFIDENCE AGAIN AND PULLED OUR HEADS UP A LITTLE, CALLUM MADE A RUN, HEADING UP TOWARDS THE CORNER. HE CROSSED IT TOWARDS THE NET AND JUST AS IT SLIPPED PAST THE GOALIE, KAI WAS THERE TO ENSURE IT WAS NOT COMING BACK OUT. 2-1

WE UPPED OUR GAME AND PLAYED SOME GREAT FOOTBALL, AGAIN WE JUST COULD NOT GET THEM IN. KORBEN BROKE THROUGH, THE DEFENCE WERE FLAGGING BEHIND, HE TOOK A SHOT ……. IT SO NEARLY COULD HAVE BEEN 2-2 … BUT IT WENT WIDE.

ANOTHER PUSH FROM STRATTON THAT JUST CAUGHT US OFF GUARD AND THE SCORE WAS 3-1 EVEN STRATTON TRIED TO GET ONE IN FOR US BUT THE GOALIE JUST CAUGHT IT!!
