Match Report
Talk about a baptism of fire!
First Maltby, then came Hillsboro Pumas
who had just come down from A division
This game was definitely going to a
tough one.
We had two players making the squad who
were carrying injuries left over from school football. We
decided to leave Ben Parker out and Play Peter.
After only a few minutes Peters injury
became worse and he had to leave the field. We reshuffled and on
came Callum who was going to get his first decent run since
joining us from Birks Holt.
It was a very scrappy affair with
neither teams really getting an hold on the game.
Midfield pair Josh Bibby and Alistair
Backhouse were causing pumas many problems with tough tackling
and nice passing .
All the defence were working hard to
prevent goals and to be fair I don't think Hillsboro had a
proper shot on goal
Our first goal came from a brave Rob
Connelly header which could have resulted in injury but a
marksman like Rob was never going to duck this chance.
Jamie Wootton grabbed the second
and then finished the day with a brace after he chased a lofted
pass to out sprint the defence and finish with an header over
the advancing keeper.
Man of the match went to Macca was was
solid throughout the game and made some great overlapping play
on the right side of defence.
