ROCKETS 3 - 0 UPTON YOUTH
A solid performance today from the lads resulted in our 11th win of the league campaign (11 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses). Our form since October though is definitely Champions League places!
We started pretty well against an improved Upton outfit who defended well and kept themselves in the game without threatening our goal. After two quarters we had dominated without creating too many chances so we talked at half-time about getting more shots on goal. Harry was putting in some fantastic corners which can become a source of even more goals for us going forward.
In the third quarter the deadlock was broken by Bailey who picked the ball up on the right, ran into space, before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the bottom left. The boys then relaxed and started to play some great passing football. A clearance from the Upton defence fell to William who struck it sweetly into the top left. 2-0 up and cruising!
In the final quarter we really got some good combinations going. Our pressure told when Bailey broke up play and fired in a great cross which George struck first time into the top left.
With three strong players rested the boys dug deep to get the goals we deserved. We always tried to do the right thing which was pleasing.
Bailey was the stand out player today. His attitude, effort and skill showed and he listened to the coaches at half-time about shooting on sight of goal! Bailey was named MOTM and will captain us for the tough test coming up against Tarvin Athletic.
Well done to the boys. The last two games have been a great response to the Groves match.
