it was a pretty scrappy game, if truth be told, but we had the better of the chances. our first goal came from a punt upfield from goalkeeper Hermione which went over everyone's head. however, Ed was quick enough to outpace the defender and lob the Kingswood keeper with a deft touch. half time 1-0
the second half was pretty much the same until we got a free kick halfway into their half for a blatant handball. up stepped team captain Oliver to fire one towards goal. Marcos got a very clever little flick on to put us 2-0 ahead.
we were never in danger after that and the reunited defensive partnership of Marco and Oliver were superb. never giving an inch.
we were very organised throughout the whole pitch and I was very pleased to see the training ground work coming through again, especially the work we put in on covering for each other.
special mention for Zak who played excellently on the wing, yet in a more defensive position. he found the ball at his feet and acres of space inside their half. he drove forward and unleashed a cracking shot which I was sure was in but hit the post. so unlucky, but I was really pleased with Zak's confidence and technique.
a solid and pleasing performance from everyone.
