Thornhill B v St Albans 17/10/09

Today Thornhill went out against the football team that are joint top of the league, and showed them that ( for 65mins at least ) we can play some great football.

The game started well with good play from both teams but St Albans did get the better of Thornhill with a scrambled goal after about 15mins. Dave kept his head up and made some superb saves to keep us in it, eventually though St Albans got a second. In the meantime long passes over the top from James D and Jake were giving Chris chances eventually leading to a goal for Thornhill. At half time the score was 2-1 and the St Albans coach was not happy with his team.

Unfortunately we were short of subs and the second half although starting well went downhill after about 25 minutes. Tired legs meant that St Albans started to get the better of us with pace.

Nothing to be upset about here though, we played good football and challenged throughout the game. Next week hopefully a full bench will help to relieve some of the pace issues in the second half and we will improve.

The man of the match this week goes Dave for stepping in at the last minute and some great saves.
