Terrible start to a slightly frantic game. The goal in the first couple of minutes was a bit of a fluke, since Barry had stopped the shot but knocked in into the goal with a trailing leg. The second goal was a superb free kick which went round the wall and swerved manically to beat Barry. There was some dispute after the game about the third goal which seemd to go in from an impossible angle and some said it went in via the side netting. 3-0 down in 6 minutes!! They were very quick over the ground and we started to get to griips with that, putting a few more passes together as the game wore on. Just before the interval Chris M latched onto a wide throughball and fired in from a tight angle. Half time 1-3.
Very early in the second half they again got the break of the ball when the ball bobbled between Steve N and Barry and unfortunately bound straight to one of their guys who slotted home. We started taking the game to them and had a lot more success, with a series of chances. Steve P fired in leaving 6 minutes to make up the deficit. A superb move of one-touch passing left Chris H with a great chance which went just wide. It was one of those nights where we could have snatched a win with the rub of the green, but on the night the better team won.
Commiserations all round and well done to all who played for a very enjoyable season. Roll on season 3.
