pace cougars V sarisbury sparks,sub cup 1/4 final
we knew we were in for a tough match against pace as they are a very good side who have scored loads of goals this season but we got off to a flying start when harry osman tapped in a louis woodhouse cross after a couple of minutes,we were playing some good football and and soon increased the lead when aiden sherlock rose to meet george robinsons corner and glanced it home,pace came more into the game but our defence held firm,nick yeomans and ryan garner both had good chances to extend the lead but the pace goalkeeper produced some excellent saves and then pace pulled one back just before half time when a corner was only half cleared and the ball was knocked back into the far post for a simple tap in.half time
the second half started well for us when harry osman burst through and finished well to make it 1-3,it soon became four when louis griffiths knocked the ball on for harry osman to chase,he managed to knock the ball against the keeper and the ball fell kindly for bradley morris to steer home from just inside the box,pace soon pulled one back when their striker picked up the ball and smashed it over callum holme in the sarisbury goal,jacob scoates then played a good ball out to jack richards who played a quick one , two with george taylor and crossed to the far post for harry osman to complete his hat trick,the final goal of the match came when jack weaver played a good ball to jack bannister who saw the keeper off his line and lobbed him from just outside the box final score 2 – 6
many thanks to john sherlock for running the line,and to the referee,also a big thankyou to everyone who came to support the boys,and lastly well done to all the boys for reaching the semi final of the competition,if we play to the best of our ability there is no reason why we cannot win it
