What an important three points! ????
We knew we had to dig deep with a considerable amount of players missing this week, and along with a sticky pitch, it was always going be tough, but what a fantastic effort it was from everyone!
The first half was a little cagey with both teams making limited chances until a knock down by Toby was hit by Dan from outside the box and beating the keeper. We kept our shape throughout the game and the defence was spot on once again. 1-0 at half time was a good position to be in but we knew the next goal would be crucial.
The second half was started slowly by us and we allowed the opposition to put pressure on but we stood firm. We knew we just had to stay strong and hit them on the counter attack and nab the second goal. And it arrived when Ollie headed home near post from Matt’s cross. That gave us some breathing space but we had to still stay mentally strong. The game was wrapped up with 10 mins to go when Ash’s free kick was controlled expertly by Jack who then hit the ball sweetly with his left foot from outside the box, the keeper had no chance! With minutes to go, we were determined to get a clean sheet which both Shae and the defence deserved!
Overall, a really proud and pleasing performance. If we can maintain this level then our promotion push will become stronger each week!
Next week, it’s another tough test as we face Mepal & Sutton Reserves who are just 3 points behind us.
