Minchenden Greens Blog U11 2007-2008: January 2008

As the match loomed nearer, we knew it was going to be a tricky.When we kicked off we played some good passing football. We also had some good chances but we couldn't finish them.
As we came off for the interval, we had a team talk from Tim and went onto the pitch feeling confident about the rest of the game. After a few minutes in the second half, the opposition had a lucky break, with their incredible Hulk guy(who for some reason wasn't green) steamed past the defense and finished it from a tight angle. With fifteen minutes to go the pressure was mounting on us as Mark had a disallowed goal. Luckily a few minutes later a dangerous challenge gave us a penalty which Sam R finished with style. With raised hopes, we were determined to win this game but Winchmore Hill got another shot on goal which Djan could not reach as it rolled past the line. It was now 2-1 with not many minutes remaining but a through ball executed by Dylan to Sam H who then took it past a deffender and placed it in the back of the net. Spirits were now being raised and the team of plundering purples hit the ground in frustration. To make it even worse with only two minutes left, Mark recieved the ball and slotted it past the keeper and into the net, and then Minchenden strided back to their positions and played on until the final whistle, and so we celbrated, alongside with Lucas (Dylans brother) who shouted losers at Winchmore Hill.

Man of the match: Terry

Well done everybody and now we can say we are well and truly "top of the league!"
