Hi All
Great game on Sunday. Although we lost, it was exiting to watch and we were the better team, but we cant give teams a three goal start and expect to win.
We got off to a bad start when their number 8 with the afro sped past our whole team and scored a good goal. We then had a bit of possession only for them to break again and score.
But our heads did not go down and we applied pressure again coming close on a couple of occasions. Then they hit us on the break again and got their third goal. They had three chances and scored three goals!
We finally got the goal we deserved just before half time to make it 3 - 1.
The second half started well with us camped in their half and their players and their manager were getting frustated. It was good to see other teams paniking against us. It shows that we were doing something right.
We pulled another goal back early in the second half to make it 3 - 2 and I thought we could now go on and win it. The only time they attacked us was on the break and unfortunately in one of these breaks they scored. 4 - 2.
We pressed again and made it 4 - 3, but we could not get that 4th goal and just before full time they hit us on the break again and made it 5 - 3.
There was a bit of crowd trouble with some of the crowd (Jakes dad John) invading the pitch during the game, but the stewards and the police took care of it. I also noticed a bit of trouble in the crowd with (Jeff Sams dad) having words with one of their supporters, but is was just handbags and the police tear gas dispersed them both and order was resumed.
Goal of the game - Yaseef's stunning shot from 2cm (or was it Jays goal?)
Goalscorers - Yaseef - 2 Jay - 1
Final Score - lost 3 - 5

By the way Sam, their big number 8 asked me for your address after the game as he said he wanted to sort something out with you. I hope its all right as I gave him your details.

Intriguing Stuff I Must Say...
Our Next Game Against Lea Valley I Think We Can Win, They'll Go Into The Game Thinking They Will Cruise To Victory As One Of Them Told Me Last Time.
We'll Need To Move A Few People Around In My Opinion If We Want To Win The 3 Points.
And I Still Owe Their Striker 20p...
