A real topsy-turvy game against a very strong Elton team
saw the game finish 3-3 with our boys arguably deserving the win.
With us only able to choose between 8 boys it was always
going to be a hard game especially when the boys
spotted the twin ginger threat from the opposition had turned up!
However not overawed, we started very strongly with the
ball just not finding the net for us - Xander and George both hitting the
woodwork. Our superiority started to
tell and first George finished nicely and then Bailey scored a magnificent
free kick (reminiscent of Beckham v Greece) giving us a well deserved 0-2 lead
by the end of the second quarter.
Elton then regrouped and played all their big guns for
the rest of the game and came from 0-2 down to 3-2 up with a couple of lucky
goals and the aid of some strange refereeing decisions.
We didn't give up though and at last we capitalised on
one of Harry's 'Geoff Capes' throws into the box with the ball running through
to George who slotted home very coolly with that trusty left foot.
It was a hard fought draw against a very physical team,
but our boys showed despite appearances we are a physical match for anyone.
The parents picked Alex as their MOTM for a
great performance in defence, so Alex is captain next week.
Special mention must also go to Will B who had a great
game filling in between the sticks.
The four month unbeaten league run continues and so does a great fighting
spirit from the boys.....
