ROCKETS 2 - 1 TARVIN WHITES
The boys came up against the only other unbeaten team in our league and to be fair we did a great job overall in challenging conditions. The match was affected by the mud and bobbles and our boys coped with that better and we created three or four times more chances than Tarvin.
We had asked the boys to make tackles count and even if it was hard to play passing football on the poor pitch they showed they listened as the commitment to get to the Tarvin players, close down, track back and tackle hard was excellent. Bailey, William, Zac and Fin all did a great job in the tackling department.
Goals win games and even though Rory was up against a dogged, physical and determined defence he came away with two more goals (20 for season) and William tells us that Jamie Vardy's consecutive match record is now in real danger!
We conceded our clean sheet with the final play of the game after some decent wing play from Tarvins best player and some Mignolet and Lovrenesque defending which ended with Fin smashing it into William for a contender of own goal of the season! Nothing William could do and he wasn't (and still isn't) best pleased ha ha!
MOTM match was awarded to Fin for his athleticism and speed to get about a bad pitch which reminded us how good he is in cross country conditions! William also deserves praise for a super solid display and quick and accurate transition to our attackers.
Well done boys. After the final whistle we were all a bit flat after conceding but in hindsight we did brilliantly and are now top of league....if they showed the points!
