28th September Away to Lychett Red Triangle
Win 10 - 0
Fresh off of last weeks win all the Boys were really fired up for this fixture, training had gone very well on Saturday morning with the whole session dedicated to passing and moving.
This game was to be a real test for us to see if what is being practiced could be converted into match day. Boy oh Boy could it!
A fairly slow first 5 minutes saw both teams size each over up, but Rovers went up a gear and soon were rewarded with a goal. From here on in Rovers controlled the game. Everyone knew their positions and patrolled them excellently. The ball hardly leaving Lychett’s half. A typical dogged display by Harry Thompson ensured that any stray balls were dealt with quickly and easily.
Half time saw the boys come in 4-0 to the good.
The boys were really determined to bag some more and the constant pressure of ensuring the reds were first to the ball almost 100% of the time was beginning to tell as the goals started to come thick and fast. Four from Harry Thompson, 3 from George, 1 from Ali, 1 from Harry Hill having a very spirited 2nd half and one from just inside the oppositions half by Oliver presented a very well deserved 10-0 scoreline.
The team was the man of the match today - they played all 50minutes with gusto and it really showed what hard work can produce. If the manager was to single anyone out to day it would be Mikey for a fantastic all round display of determination, concentration and pressure.
WELL DONE, I’M PROUD TO BE YOUR MANAGER!
