Men’s 3s Match reports

Well a new season, a new formation and a good away team sadly ended with a 2 goal half time we had a few opportunities and a few good saves and clearances were made .

A half time chat and the 2nd half started well , unfortunately against the run of play they scored and as legs tired they got 2 more . Some good performances with Matt getting player of the game. We move onto the 1st game of the season next week and k sports

Well, 1st game of the real season and back to a 442. Matt Knowler slotting in at right back, Mason back in the middle, dual Twiggs upfront.

The game started well with a few opportunities for us but not quite enough to get a goal. Against the run of play, K Sports scored which served as a wake up call.

Enter the play, Dave from the bench to create a few chances then a finish to make it 1-1 , then he set up Braedon for 2-1 then he finished a in close deflection for 3-1.

After a very positive team talk, K Sports came out hard - lots of end to end plays with a lob over the top and a first time finish gave K Sports some hope at 3-2 but then we went again with James scoring to make it 4-1, Dave got another - 5-1, hard work from Mason and DJ created a chance for for Braedon which he finished with the 2nd attempt 6-1. Before, of course, Dave got his 4th to make it 7-2.

Mason got player and Callum special for forgetting his mask.

Well, the 3s travelled to Blackheath today with the “hockey cokey” squad as, all week, players have been in and out so the squad was shaken all about.

The team started with a bare 11 and people playing out of position, but held the score at 0-0 for 20 minutes, before going into half time 2-0 down.

A half time team talk and a welcome break for the 11 before the second half started.

With tired legs and one reinforcement arriving on the bench, we battled hard but ended the game losing 6-0.

We go again next week away to Sutton Valence.
