Match Report 19/09/09

Thornhill v Avenue Hotspur.

Very much a game of two halves, where we improved a lot. The first half didn't go well for us with some great football by Avenue Hotspurs and I must comment on the fair decision by the ref when the keeper was injured. Long balls over the top to some top notch strikers led to 7 goals. But moving Dan into defence gave us some extra control in the last 15 minutes and we started to challenge a bit more.

The second half started with some tactical changes, Evan playing as sweeper stopped the long ball threat, and we could start to play our passing game. This payed off with a well struck cross from James Gough taking a massive deflection to give us a goal. Leo followed this with a great shot to give us our second. We then missed a series of chances and I thought we were going to slip back when Avenue scored 2 more, but eventually Chris got 2 with some fine shooting.

Well done lads we learnt a lot today. All of you worked hard so it's hard to pick a man of the match. But for 100% commitment this week it goes to Leo Llewellyn.
