We started with a 1-2-2 formation with Rob sweeping up at the back, Steve N and Chris H in the middle and Chris M and Alex causing mayhem for their defence. We started well, keeping posession and recycling the ball. A couple of half chances early on signalled our dominance and after a move down the right wing Alex laid the ball off to Chris H to drive into the bottom corner of the net. Shortly after Alex superbly finished off another smart move through the centre leaving us 2-0 up a half time with hardly a threat on our goal but for a couple of long range strikes from their lively striker.
We started the second half with a 1-3-1 formation, but at the start they looked more threatening. Rob swept up most of their moves quickly, although Barry had to make a difficult save diving low to his right to stop a very good effort. After that we started to dominate more as they pushed to rescue the game; we kept the ball for 20 or more passes on one occasion as they were chasing shadows. The chances came too, Alex unlucky that the keeper saved with his feet after a 1 on 1 and Chris H having a couple of decent opportunities to extend the lead. Barry again had to make a save, diving to his left to keep out their best effort; a rather lively backpass from Steve N! Good news also that Steve P played the second half with no recurrence of the injury which has kept him out for several games.
Overall a really good performance and a more comfortable than 2-0 would suggest.

Good to hear boys, sounds like we could have the makings of a good side !! Good to hear that Steve N was missing bazzer and kept him involved in the game..he's clearly on fire like Sunderland. Who needs Roy Keane not even Sarum Knights....just shows you if you give the manager long enough he will come good in the end.
I can't believe Sunderland didn't go for big Sam...looks like my prediction for bubbles united could be right though ! Hi Steve.
Mind you I shouldn't say too much we've got Chelsea tomorrow.
By the way I've started up an Ozzie fan club for Sarum Knights..the guys impressed with the website, Chris. He said he has played semi pro but i told him to get into our side now you have to have been a pro !
Been to the barrier reef today..great time. Hard life over here. Martin's pleased we are doing well..he thought it was fast in the 3rd division watching from the touchline !
Happy Chrimbo to you all. I will be checking for updates. Iain did you try to e-mail my mobile htc...having trouble with it. Leaving the instructions on the plane hasn't helped !!!!!!
Over and out.
