sarisbury sparks V bashley youth 14 / 02/ 10

we began the game quite well and we were soon awarded a penalty after weasel was brought down in the area,george robinson smashed the penalty into the top right corner,we managed to do further in front when nick yeomans fired home from the edge of the area.the game did not have much flow to it as both teams battled for possession but from a corner we went further in front when jack bannister cooly lobbed the keeper with a left foot shot,bashley began to play some nice stuff and they pulled one back when their number 3 darted between two defenders to slot home and then he come up with a strange celebration which made me laugh,sarisbury went straight up the other end and got another one when weasel beat the keeper from close range.half time 4 – 1.we told the lads at half time to keep it tight and pick up your markers so they completely ignored us and let bashley back into the game with some poor defending,george taylor preserved our lead with some outstanding goalkeeping again but was finally beaten when bashley had a queue of players to tap in a cross,we finally got hold of the ball and played it around and this lead  nick yeomans to beat the keeper with a fine shot from the edge of the area,this seemed to settle us a bit but bashley still poured forward in search of a goal and they probably should have had a couple more as we just sat back and let them play,but we managed to hold on and win the game 5 – 2,so well done to all the boys but hopefully we can learn from this and try to see out the games in a stronger fashion.

many thanks to the ref who was excellent,and to the linesman(me) and to all the supporters who turned up to watch.
