GREAT WEEKEND FOR THE SQUAD

Two games in awful conditions on Sunday.

Firstly v Milford On Sea in the BYFL.  Amazing we were 3-0 at half time, mirroring the first half performance in the reverse fixture, with goals by Marco (2) and Emre.

We only had 9 players due to holidays, so the kids had to work extremely hard for their lead. It was described to me as a 'battling performance'.

Again, mirroring the reverse fixture, Milford came out after half time & got back into the game. With 10 minutes to go the score was 3-2. Then we went a player down when Joe got mud in his eye!

The lads held on and at the final whistle we all celebrated hard at our first league win of 2015 and only our second of the season.


Then, with only a short break, we played Burton in the New Forest League. Fortunately, we had our two new players join us so we had some fresh legs.  It was a difficult fixture, the team had to battle hard again, but we played some lovely football (training ground stuff showing through). A goal in each half from Emre & Marcos saw us with the points and puts us at the top of the table with 9 & no goals conceded.


Tuesday 31st March

A crazy, super windy afternoon v Branksome in the BYFL. The team carried on their good performances from the weekend and put up a much stronger fight than in most games recently. Both teams found it difficult in the strong wind & we were 1-0 down at half time despite having our chances.

Second half, we created lots of opportunities and had a shot cleared off the line, one off the bar and their keeper saved a good one on ones as well. However, a windy punt upfield caught our defence out & it was 2-0. We had the better chances in the second half & their goal was their only shot on target. With a bit off luck & better finishing, we could - should - have had a draw or even a win.

Recent matches have shown that we can play good football, are much more aware & organised & also are starting to get to grips with the physicality too. Just a shame its too late to avoid relegation.
