Match Report |
This week the 5ths were away against Telford & Wrekin 4ths, one of the leading teams in our division. The selected team would have been qualified to play in a Badgers game, but that changed when traffic problems led to a late change of keeper. The team spent too much time watching the ball as the game began, and this resulted in Telford taking the lead when an unmarked attacker was left with an easy finish. Telford scored a second goal in the first half from a short corner. The young players in the team worked hard, in particular Ben Wall who had another solid performance. In the second half we paid more attention to Telford's players rather than the ball, and as a consequence Telford found it harder to create chances. They did, however, win some short corners and they converted two of them. We created some opportunities against the Telford defence, but they were a bit stronger and more confident on the ball so we did not really trouble their keeper. Everyone kept going for the whole game, and there were some good skills on display, but we were beaten by the better team on the day.
