03 Mar 2013 - Stratton Youth (A)

A STRONG START WITH SOME DERTERMINED FACES. SID AND KAI STARTED WITH SOME RUNS ENDING IN SHOTS BUT COULD NOT CONVERT THEM INTO GOALS.

STRATTON WERE A STRONGER TEAM THIS TMIE AND FOUGHT STRAIGHT BACK. LIAM WAS FOCUSED AND WITH NAV BEING HIS COOL LEVEL HEADED SELF THEY DEFENDED WELL SENDING THE BALL OUT ON MANY OCCASSIONS.

CALLUM WAS USING THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE PITCH TO REGAIN CONTROL AND HAD MANY SHOTS ON TARGET, INCLUDING A FABULOUS SHOT WHICH WAS WELL CAUGHT. LEWIS WAS KEPT BUSY AS STRATTON BATTLED HARD AND CREATED SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES.

KORBEN SAW AN OPPORTUNITY, TOOK A SHOT BUT IT WENT WIDE. CALLUM TOOK A BEAUTIFUL CORNER WHICH WAS PLACED PERFECTLY, THOUGH WE HAD A BIT OF A SCRAMBLE, STRATTON COULD NOT GET IT OUT AND SID MANAGED TO GET IT IN. 1-0

HALF TIME JAMES MADE A PRECISE PASS TO RAISHAM WHO HAD A LOVELY RUN, HE TOOK A WELL PLACED SHOT BUT IT WAS JUST WIDE. WE KEPT THE PRESSURE ON BUT STRATTON BROKE THOUGH AND LEVELLED. 1-1

KORBEN KEPT THE ATTACKERS BACK, WHICH CAUSED THEM SOME FRUSTRATION. MUCH MORE OF THE SAME FOLLOWED WITH ALL THE LADS BATTLING ON AS STRATTON WERE NOT LETTING THEIR HEADS DROP AND NEITHER WERE WE.

THE LAST FEW MINUTES SEEMED TO LAST A LONG TIME AND WHILST WE GOT STRONGER AND WERE PLAYING REALLY WELL, WE JUST COULD NOT GET ANOTHER ONE IN. AN ENJOYABLE GAME TO WATCH.
