We got off to a shaky start, possibly due to the poor conditions, but also a lack of communication in the team, resulting with Tom and Liam head banging each other when they both went for the ball at the same time. But we managed to get a cross in front of their keeper and Terry ran in and got a goal. This lifted the team and we started to play much better football.
More goals from Mark and Ben, both involving good teamwork, leading up to half time and 3-0.
We continued in the second half to play excellent passing football despite the weather which just got worse. They had a few attacking moves, and on one we conceded a penalty to a dubious refereeing decision, but fortunately Djan saved it easily.
We came back quickly with Liam passing through to Tom who pushed up into their box, and crossed it back to Liam for a goal.
A final goal from Tim to make it 5-0 at the finish.
Man of the match: Dylan for excellent play on the wing, both in attack and getting back when needed to defend.
A good result but there is some bad news -- with the weather this week, and last, the catering tent has collapsed in a heap and died. So hopefully it wont be raining next week or else there will be soggy bacon rolls and hot dogs to look forward to.
