MATCH REPORT - SAT 4 NOVEMBER

SAUGHALL BLACKS 0 - 11 ROCKETS

When the coach turns up 5 minutes late and we are already 0-3 up then you know we have started quickly!!

Saughall have unfortunately lost a few talented players and the game really turned into a training exercise of attack versus defence. That said, we played with great passing accuracy and switched the ball across the pitch making runs and passes which Saughall could not cope with.

Some of the goals were excellent, particularly when our wingers (Harry, Xander and George) were able to beat players and cross into the box for finishes. We felt our decision making between running and passing was superb today and hopefully we can keep this balance right, as against better teams we cannot beat every player.

The passing from the back was great, with all our defenders getting the ball into the midfield with speed and accuracy.

The goals came from Rory (5), Xander (2), Austin (2), George (1) and Harry (1).

MOTM went to Harry who caused Saughall major issues which they could only combat by first elbowing him and then hacking him down. It was nice to see his free-kick curl into the top corner from 20 yards just on the final whistle (and caught on video!). 

Well done boys. A great all round display from everyone.
