Thornhill 4 v 2 Maindy Corries
Today we went out with more of a plan, using Evan as a sweeper and making sure we kept the ball down and ran the wings. The team did as they were told and it paid off.
The game started superbly with some nice mid-field play from Shaun leading to an opening goal from Chris within 5 minutes. It wasn't long before Jake got in on the action with a fantastic run up the wing leading to a very nice goal. The mid-field were working great and our defence was cutting out the challenges well. The next highlight was James Makin's subtle shoulder barge!!!. Maindy then got one back after an awkward bounce left Jack just outside his area unable to punch the ball clear.
Thornhill were a little rattled now with only one goal in it but James Doyle made a great break down the wing and some crosses back and forth with Jake which took the Maindy defence apart leaving Jake a chance to float a stunning goal into the net.
Maindy did not let their heads drop and kept up the challenge leading to a goalmouth scramble that resulted in the second goal. At half time we were 3-2 up and new legs went onto the pitch to relieve some of the lads who had given their all in the first half.
The second half was again dominated by our Wingers James D and Jake and then Jamie with Shaun showing great strength in the centre until his football boots disintegrated!!!
Chris got his second goal from a lovely break through the middle and the game then played out to a 4-2 win. My only fright was when Nozza picked up the ball!!! (play the whistle next time).
A great morning with everyone giving 100% almost impossible to give a man of the match as so many people played well, but for doing exactly what we said and stopping so many long balls it goes to Evan this week. Well done.
