Team: Tom, Taylor, Lewis, Damon, Oakley, Luke and Toby. Sub: Cameron It was an unusual Saturday game for the Tigers, playing against Hillside at Salhouse. The sun was shining, not bad weather for the start of November – long may it continue! Hillside are currently at the bottom of our league, so everyone was expecting an easier game than the last time we played, don’t mention Lakeford! We had good pressure straight from the start, Hillside struggled to make it out of their own half. We took the lead after 4 minutes, Toby scoring a low, hard, first time shot. Our pressure continued after this, but we were unable to make any of our chances count, shots from Toby and Luke just wide after good work from Damon and Oakley. Hillside got the first corner of the match soon after, but nothing came from this, Tom and the defence doing a good job. Then it was our turn to win a corner, which Toby took and was unlucky to hit the bar. Half-time: 1-0. The second half started with Cameron on as a substitute for Taylor, who took a whack in the unmentionables!!! Almost immediately we went 2-0 up, Damon shooting from outside the box, which perhaps the keeper should have saved, although Toby was on hand to slot it in if required. Hillside were having some good play, their number 7 proving a bit of a handful, but Lewis and Cameron shielded Tom well, and he had no real shot to save. Back up the other end, and we had 3 corners in quick succession which Luke swung in from the left, the first of which the keeper made a good save, the second a Hillside player almost scored an own goal, and the third Damon headed wide. Taylor replaced Luke, having recovered from his knock! Again Hillside pressed forward, and Taylor tackled well, although conceding a free kick. Back at the other end Oakley then made it 3-0, after a great cross from Toby who persevered well under pressure. Hillside heads dropped after this, and Damon had a shot cleared off the line. Luke came back on to replace Cameron, and had a good shot which hit the bar. Final score: 3-0. Man of the Match: Toby. Manager comments: A good result, but could have done better.

Taverham v Hethersett Team: Tom, Craig, Lewis, Oakley, Toby, Luke and Damon. Sub: Taylor Brrrr bit chilly today! No sign of the sun – thought it was too good to last. Anyway, nice to be playing our first home games of the season. We kicked off, but on Hethersett’s first real attack they took the lead, from a throw in, one of their players was left unmarked, and he had a free shot. After this, we had a good period of sustained pressure. Luke had a good shot from Toby’s throw in, followed by good strikes from Oakley and a long range shot from Damon. Against the run of play, Hethersett then nicked a second. Our heads didn’t drop, and we pushed on, Gary stating this was some of the best football we have played all year! Half-time: 0-2. Second half substitute – Taylor replacing Oakley. A positive start, Damon had a great run, but took a heavy knock – requiring lengthy treatment (and a cold sponge!!!). We got a corner, which Toby took and Damon headed just over the bar. From the left, Toby got in a good cross and Damon hit it just wide. Finally we got the goal we deserved, Damon hit a cracking shot which Toby saw into the net. Hethersett managed to get a corner – their first visit into our half, and from this they scored their third goal. Oakley replaced Luke; although Luke came on again almost immediately as Damon was still feeling his earlier knock. After this we again had sustained pressure, and Taylor had a long shot, which went in for our second goal. Damon then came back on to replace Luke, and despite all our good efforts and play, we were unable to find an equaliser. Final Score: 2-3. Man of the Match: Taylor. Managers Comments: Terrific performance, bearing in mind the result. Taverham v Scole Team: Tom, Lewis, Taylor, Craig, Toby, Luke and Damon. Sub: Oakley. We made a good positive start, with some excellent link up play between the front players. We won three corners in a row, the last of which Craig had a shot which went just wide. Luke then had a shot that was saved, and Damon had a header which glanced wide. Scole attacked, and they took the lead after good use of the advantage rule played by the referee. Again this was against the run of play, and we continued to dominate right up to half time. Half time: 0-1. Oakley came on at half time to replace Luke. Scole started brightly with Tom having to make three good saves in quick succession. We came forward again after this, and Oakley was unable to connect to a good cross from Toby. Finally, the breakthrough came which our play deserved, and the goal came after good link up play between Toby and Taylor, which resulted in a Toby cross which Craig converted with a great header! Scole came back into the game again after this, and Tom tipped a shot onto the bar. From the resulting corner, Tom saved again. There was just time for us to have one more attack, which Toby struck over the bar. Final Score: 1-1. Man of the Match: Toby. Managers Comments: The boys gave everything, and should have won!

Taverham v Salhouse Team: William, Tom, Craig, Toby, Damon, Lewis & Luke. Subs: Taylor & Oakley. Very wet and windy for the games today, taking place at Sprowston. The pitch was consequently very heavy, and muddy. A big welcome to William, on loan from the Lions! The game started with Taverham holding good shape and playing an excellent passing game. We applied good pressure with Damon and Luke both having shots saved. Salhouse had moments of pressure which were well dealt with by Tom and Craig. Toby broke free and ran down the left and had a deft chip for the first goal. After this it was all Taverham, although Salhouse had a brief rally before the end of the first half, William didn’t have a shot to save. Half-time: 1-0. The start of the second half saw Taylor and Oakley on for Damon and Luke. There was only one team in the game, and a slick 5 player passing move ended with Lewis shooting just wide of the goal. Further shots from Oakley and Taylor were saved by the Salhouse keeper. Damon and Luke came back on for Lewis and Toby. Almost straight away, Damon had a good run and crossed the ball over for Oakley to head in for goal number two. Link up play continued to go well between all players. Salhouse pushed forward, and a crunching tackle from Taylor led to them being awarded a free kick, which was their only chance of the half. After this Damon had a good run, and the ball came to Taylor who continued on, and crossed for Oakley to score his second, and Taverham’s third goal. Full-time: 3-0. Man of the Match: Tom. Managers Comments: Excellent play, Taverham dominated. Taverham v Sprowston Team: William, Tom, Craig, Damon, Toby, Lewis & Luke. Subs: Taylor and Oakley. The rain was pouring down at the start of the second game. This was a much more even game, with both teams starting well. Early shots from Tom and Luke were followed by a period of Sprowston pressure, but Tom and Craig were strong at the back, with William having more to do. Their were a lot fewer chances in this tight game. Sprowston broke down the left, and scored to go 1-0 up. Almost immediately we came straight back into it, Toby shot to equalise. Half-time: 1-1. The second half saw Oakley come on for Luke. It continued to be very tight, with both teams cancelling each other out. Damon had to go off with a cut knee, he was replaced by Taylor. Toby was looking lively on the left wing, although there were very few chances for either team. In the last five minutes, Damon came back on for Lewis. Sprowston pushed forward, and we were left exposed, and they scored to make it 2-1. We tried hard to get back into it, and there was a huge goalmouth scramble, but we were unable to find the net. Full-Time: 1-2. Man of the Match: Toby. Managers Comments: One mistake cost us.

Taverham v Dereham Team: Tom, Craig, Taylor, Toby, Damon, Lewis and Oakley. Sub: Luke Today saw our last matches of 2007, away at Dereham, playing on their astro-turf. The weather was dry and bright, but bitterly cold. At least the boys wouldn’t be getting muddy though!! Dereham kicked off, and as you would expect had lots of the play, and numerous chances. Tom was very busy in goal, helped out by Craig and Taylor at the back. We were camped in our own half for quite some time. Tom made an excellent save following a Dereham free kick. On a rare expedition up front, Toby was fouled and Damon stepped up to score a cracking goal, right in the bottom corner. After this, Dereham heads dropped, but they soon came back at us all guns blazing. Half-time: 0-1. No changes after the break. Dereham continued where they left off, but spurned chance after chance to equalise. We were defending well, but unfortunately Tom was unsighted from a shot which they scored from. Luke replaced Oakley, and we came back into the game, with some good passing. We got another free kick, which Toby shot powerfully, but their keeper made a good save to tip it over. After this it was fairly equal, although overall Dereham had more chances. Final Score: 1-1. Man of the Match: Tom. Managers Comments: We can play better, we were holding on for most of the match!! Taverham v Old Catton Team: Craig, Tom, Taylor, Toby, Damon, Luke and Oakley. Sub: Lewis. A slow start to the game, both sides managing to cancel each other out. We got a corner which Toby took, and it flew right across the face of the goal, but no-one was able to get a touch. Shortly after this, we took the lead. Damon went on an amazing run, beating four Old Catton players before scoring a magnificent goal. He then came off to be replaced by Lewis. Catton had a bit of pressure leading up to half time, although Craig didn’t have much to do apart from one excellent save diving to his left and keeping the ball out one handed. Half-time: 1-0. Damon came back on for the second half, giving Oakley a rest. The two sides are quite evenly matched, and the game continued with some good play, but not too many chances. Following a bit of a goalmouth scramble, where we failed to clear the ball, Catton equalised. There was a nice one two between Damon and Luke, which ended with Damon’s shot just going wide. Catton then pushed on, and Craig pushed a shot onto the post. Right at the end Luke passed to Damon who crossed the ball, but Lewis was unable to connect and divert it into the net. Final Score: 1-1. Man of the Match: Damon. Managers Comments: A much better second game, one mistake cost us again, but I am happy that we remained unbeaten today.

Taverham v Rocklands Team: William, Craig, Tom, Lewis, Damon, Toby and Oakley. Subs: Luke and Taylor. A bright and dry sunny day greeted us for our first matches of 2008. Luckily we were at home, so not too far to travel! Dare I say it was also quite mild for January!! We kicked off against Rocklands, with William in goal for us. He was very busy right from the start, as Rocklands had the lions share of the play. We were very quiet, making a real sluggish start – too many selection boxes maybe?! As we were camped in our own half, Gary told Lewis to drop into midfield, leaving Oakley as a lone striker. Play stopped briefly as one of the Rocklands team got a ball in the face. Soon after this Oakley broke down the left and put in a good cross, but we were unable to convert in the goalmouth scramble that ensued. Rocklands then took the game over again, and this time it was William’s turn to get a ball in the face – great save though!! We were still continuing to play very deep, Craig was strong in defence, and also tried to set up some attacking play, which led to Damon hitting the bar. After this it was all Rocklands, William making a fantastic diving save, and Craig also clearing off the line. Half-time: 0-0. Gary changed things at half-time, Luke and Taylor came on for Lewis and Damon. We looked much brighter in this half, and Oakley had a shot which went over the bar. The Rocklands keeper was much busier, Luke passed to Oakley who released Toby in a good passing move. Tom and Oakley were then swapped for Damon and Lewis. We were managing to keep them in their own half, much as they had done to us earlier. Damon crossed for Toby who was just unable to connect as the keeper did well. Taylor made a few crunching tackles as the game got more physical. Luke latched onto a through ball and was one on one with the keeper, but was unable to finish. This was the last kick of the game. Final Score: 0-0. Man of the Match: Craig. Managers Comments: A fair result – they had the best of the first half, and we had the best of the second. Taverham v Poringland Team: William, Tom, Craig, Taylor, Damon, Toby and Luke. Subs: Oakley and Lewis. We made a bright, positive start, with lots of chances. A corner from Toby which Luke latched onto, and the ball went into the net via Damon’s head, for our first goal of the New Year. Soon after we got our second - Toby ran well down the left and crossed the ball where Damon was waiting for a simple tap in. Poringland were finding it hard to break us down, and only briefly entered our half. Our defence hadn’t got much to do, and Craig was unlucky with a long range effort, which was only millimetres wide. Toby then scored our third goal, Damon becoming the provider on this occasion, although the Poringland keeper was unlucky as he caught the ball, but was unable to stop it from going over the line. Following another long range shot from Craig, Damon got his hat-trick, and the fourth goal of the game - Toby again with good work down the left, and any one of three players could have converted. Half-time: 4-0. Gary stuck with the same starting line up for the second half, as he was impressed with how well they were playing. Poringland were a lot stronger right from the off, probably got a good talking to during the break! William made an excellent save, showing good judgement when one of the Poringland players was through on goal. Lewis and Oakley came on to replace Luke and Tom. Lewis crossed from the right, but Oakley was unable to get his foot round the ball. Tom came back on to replace Toby near the end, and Craig also got a well deserved rest for the last few minutes, Luke taking his place. After this the game fizzled out. Final Score: 4-0. Man of the Match: Damon – hat-trick hero! Managers Comments: A
terrific performance. |

Team: Tom, Craig, Taylor, Toby, Damon, Lewis and Oakley. Subs: Luke and Cameron. Another dry and bright January day (unlike last week!!), saw us at Sprowston, for a cup game against Mulbarton. Straight from the start it was all Taverham. Toby crossed and Damon headed the ball and hit the bar. Then the first goal came, following a goalmouth scramble involving Toby, Lewis, Damon and the Mulbarton keeper. Possibly an own goal, but hard to tell who got the last touch!! Mulbarton continued to be pegged back in their own half, as Taverham continued to pile on good pressure. The second goal definitely went in off a Mulbarton player, from Toby’s cross following a pass from Lewis. The all out attack continued up to half-time, with numerous attacks, just lacking a good finish to increase the score. Half-time: 2-0. No changes for the start of the second half, and Taverham continued where they left off. From a corner Damon had a free header to make the score 3-0. After this, Gary brought Luke and Cameron on, to replace Lewis and Taylor. Luke took a corner, and Damon’s header went in off a Mulbarton player (again!!) for the fourth goal. Cameron had a good shot saved by the opposing keeper. The fifth goal was definitely scored by a Taverham player – Luke’s shot hitting the bar and coming down, and Toby followed in to tap it over the line just in case it wasn’t already! Taverham continued to play a good passing game, and Mulbarton were struggling to get out of their own half. Craig shot and it went over the bar. Taylor and Lewis came back on, with Craig and Oakley being replaced. All of the team were playing well. Mulbarton had a shot which went wide, and Luke put one wide at the other end. Towards the end, Mulbarton had a corner, which Tom knocked out. This was the last kick of the game. Final Score: 5-0. Man of the Match: Toby. Managers Comments: Very good football, everybody had a shot and we could have scored more!

Taverham v Hethersett Team: Tom, Craig, Taylor, Toby, Damon, Lewis and Oakley. Sub: Luke. A Sunday afternoon kick off this week, and the sun was shining making it pleasantly warm for February! The game started fairly evenly, although Tom had to make a save early on. Taylor had our first shot. After this, Damon and Toby linked up well, with Damon hitting a long shot which went just over the bar. Hethersett looked tired after having already played one game, but we couldn’t manage to capitalise on this. A lot of the play was in midfield, with us possibly just shading the first half. Half-time: 0-0. Luke came on to replace Taylor, and we got off to a good start, with Damon going wide soon after the restart. Then came our first goal, which followed a long kick from Tom, with Lewis chipping the ball over the top to Damon, whose shot was saved by the keeper, but Luke was there to follow up and score. Taylor came back on for Oakley. Craig had a powerful run which ended with a shot hitting the bar. We were really on top now, and proceeded to score a great second goal. Damon and Luke playing a neat 1-2 which ended with Lewis scoring. Hethersett then got back in the game, after Tom failed to hold onto a shot, making the score 2-1. Hethersett heads were up after this, but we scored again to kill the game off – Lewis passed to Luke who crossed from the right and Damon was there to side foot in the net. Final Score: 3-1. Man of the Match: Lewis. Managers Comments: A very good result against a very good defence, and physically strong team. Taverham v Scole Team: Tom, Craig, Taylor, Toby, Damon, Oakley and Luke. Sub: Lewis. There was early action at both ends, with Scole going close and Damon shooting just over after nice link up play. Taylor then had a shot well cleared off the line, and from the resulting corner, Damon scored a fantastic goal to make it 1-0. Scole then equalised with a shot which went unluckily through Tom’s legs. Scole started to push on after the goal, but just on half-time we scored again, this time a hot-shot from Toby after Scole had failed to clear. Half-time: 2-1. Lewis replaced Taylor as the second half began. Scole got a free kick on the edge of the box, following a handball by Lewis, which Tom tipped over the bar. Although Scole were pressing, they never looked like scoring, and Toby then scored again to make it 3-1 to us. There then followed a lengthy break while one of the Scole boys got treatment for a nose bleed. Damon had a good long range shot, which was well saved by the Scole keeper. He got his goal with his next effort though, making it 4-1. Scole never gave up, and Tom again had to push an effort over the bar, before the game finished. Final Score: 4-1. Man of the Match: Luke/Toby. Managers Comments: We made hard work of it in the first half, but were much better after the break, and fully deserved back to back victories. |

Team: Tom, Craig, Oakley, Taylor, Toby, Damon and Lewis. Subs: Luke and Cameron. The day of the big cup semi-final arrived, away at Sprowston. It was a sunny and dry day, but very windy. Taverham kicked off, but were playing against the wind in the first half. Tom was called into early action, as we were camped in our own half. Damon had our first shot, on the break, which he hit just over. Sprowston had a succession of corners, with one header going just wide. Against the run of play again, Lewis hit a good cross, but Toby was unable to connect. A lot of the game was being played in midfield, with the wind definitely helping Sprowston. Craig and Oakley were working well together in defence. Sprowston then went close again with a long shot. Tom had to come out to make a good save, and this resulted in a bit of a scramble, which we managed to clear. This was the last kick of the first half. Half-time: 0-0. Luke and Cameron came on to replace Taylor and Lewis at the start of the second half. With the wind in our favour, we made a better start. Sprowston had an attack which came to nothing. From this, Luke managed to set Damon away on the right, who crossed for Toby to sidefoot into the net, for the first goal of the match. The link up play between Luke, Toby and Damon continued, with Damon having a shot saved. Cameron also had an attempt on goal, which the Sprowston keeper dealt with. Tom was then forced to make a brave save. Cameron brought the ball out, but Luke tripped over his own feet and was unable to get the shot in! The next Sprowston attack saw them equalise, with the ball trickling under Tom and into the net. Following this, we forced a corner, which Toby took, hitting the crossbar. Full-time: 1-1. Extra-time: Lewis came on to replace Luke. The Sprowston team had their heads up, and Oakley scored an unfortunate own goal to give them a 3-1 lead. Craig went off, to be replaced by Taylor. Toby put the ball wide from a Damon cross. As the clock was running down, Sprowston had a number of corners, which we had difficulty in clearing. We pushed forward, and got a corner, which was taken really well by Toby, the ball going right across the face of the goal. Unfortunately, no Taverham player was able to connect. Final Score: 1-3. Man of the Match: Oakley. Managers Comments: We
should have won this game easily in normal time. |

Taverham v Costessey Team: Tom, Taylor, Craig, Oakley, Lewis, Toby and Damon. Sub: Luke We kicked off, and Taylor had our first shot, hitting the upright. We made a very bright start, and it wasn’t long before we scored our first goal – a long range shot from Damon, which hit the bar, and Lewis followed up to score. We didn’t hold onto the lead for very long, as straight from the restart Costessey equalised. Damon then scored a great long range shot to make it 2-1 to us. Exciting stuff, 3 goals in 2 minutes!! We then managed to keep the play in the Costessey half, Toby having a good shot saved, and Damon heading against the crossbar from the resulting corner. Costessey were putting a lot of players behind the ball. Oakley also had a long range shot which just went wide. Half-time: 2-1. Luke came on at the start of the second half, replacing Lewis. Craig also moved into midfield, and had the first shot. Taverham were continuing as they left off in the first half, having most of the play. Damon passed the ball through to Luke, whose shot was put out for a corner by the Costeseey keeper. A goalmouth scramble saw Toby, Craig and Luke all just unable to get the ball over the line. Our third goal was scored by Damon, following good work by Craig. Costessey were making the odd break into our half, but never looked like scoring again. Final Score: 3-1. Man of the Match: Damon. Managers Comments: We made hard work of it! Taverham v Lakeford Team: Tom, Taylor, Oakley, Luke, Lewis, Damon and Toby. Sub: Craig. This was an important game, as Lakeford needed to win to pip Dereham to the title!! Again we kicked off, and made a good, strong start. Toby took a good corner, which was saved by the Lakeford keeper. Tom had much more to do in this game, and following a goal kick, Oakley went on a run which ended up with him shooting only inches wide. Lakeford also had a corner which went wide. This was a really tight game. Tom then made a fantastic save from a Lakeford free kick. It was end to end stuff, and we then forced a corner which came to nothing. Lakeford had a shot which went over the bar, and before the break Damon went wide with a shot. Half-time: 0-0. Luke went off, replaced by Craig, who went to play up front. The second half continued fairly equal, with both teams sharing the play. Toby hit a shot which went over. Tom again made a good save, and Lakeford put in a good cross which nobody was able to connect with. Lakeford were pushing forward now. Toby made a good run down the left, and crossed, but neither Damon nor Craig were able to put it in the net. Lewis put in a cross which Craig tried to put in, but the keeper saved although Toby was only inches away from converting. We then had a corner, quickly followed by a Lakeford corner. Tom was having a great game in goal, and Oakley and Taylor were both strong at the back. Then came the goal that Lakeford needed – a high ball came into a crowded penalty area, and although Tom got a good hand to it, it fell to a Lakeford player who put it in the net. This was right near the end of the game, and Taverham were unable to retaliate. Final Score: 0-1. Man of the Match: Taylor. Managers Comments:
Although we lost, we couldn’t have played any better than we did. |

| Sun 16 March 08 Taverham v Hillside | |||
|
Team: Craig, Oakley, Taylor, Tom, Toby, Lewis and Luke. No subs. Cold, wet and windy is a good description of the weather conditions today. We were playing against Hillside at Salhouse, and were down to a bare minimum of 7 players as Damon had to play as emergency cover for our other under 10’s team – Taverham Lions. We kicked off, and were playing into the wind. We made a bright start, and went ahead quite early on, Lewis putting the ball into the net following a through pass from Tom who was playing outfield today! Almost immediately, Hillside drew level, following a break and a low shot. The conditions were making for a scrappy game, but eventually we managed to get our passing game going, with Lewis eventually shooting over the bar. Toby had a long range shot saved well, and from the resulting corner, we were awarded a penalty, a Hillside player actually catching the ball on the line!! Toby despatched the spot kick with no problem to put us back into the lead. Just before half-time, following some pressure, Oakley had a header from a corner, which went just wide. Half-time: 2-1. No subs to bring on, but Gary changed the boy’s positions at the start of the second half, Tom going into defence with Taylor swapping to midfield. We had the help of the wind this time! Straight from the kick off, Luke passed to Lewis who put it across to Toby who scored his second and our third goal. A much better start for us, and we quickly managed to kill the game off when Luke scored our fourth goal, after a throw in involving Lewis and Toby. Lewis then had a good shot saved. We then lost concentration, and let Hillside through, and they scored to bring it back to 4-2. This gave them hope, and they had a good spell of pressure, hitting the bar during this time. We then rallied a bit, but Hillside defended well, with lots of players behind the ball. We had the last attack of the game – Lewis heading the ball following a cross from Toby. Final Score: 4-2. Man of the Match: Toby.
Managers Comments: The conditions didn’t help us to play our normal
passing game, but we deserved to win. |

Taverham v Rocklands Team: Craig, Oakley, Tom, Taylor, Toby, Lewis and Damon. Sub: Luke. Our final two games of the season, and we were playing at home, on a dry and surprisingly sunny day. We also had the incentive that victories in both games would see us finishing third in the League! Rocklands kicked off, but the first shot was ours, Toby shooting over the bar after Lewis had laid it off for him. Taylor was getting stuck in at the back, and when Rocklands forced a corner, it came to nothing. Damon then had a long range shot which went wide. Oakley and Damon then combined, and put in a cross, but no-one was able to convert. A good period of Taverham play, and Damon put Lewis clean through, but he was unable to get his shot in. Just before half-time, Damon shot over the bar. A bit of a scrappy first half, although Taverham had most of the play, they were unable to convert this into goals. Half-time: 0-0. Luke came on at the restart, with Lewis taking a break. Straight away we were pushing forward, and Toby had a shot across goal, which Damon hit just wide. Then we got the breakthrough, Tom passing the ball to Luke, who crossed for Damon to have a simple tap in. We were completely dominating, and a good run from Tom ended in a corner, which Luke put in and Damon headed over. Taylor and Tom then linked up, and the ball came to Luke whose shot hit the upright. Toby made a good run, and had his shot saved by the keeper. Then came the important second goal, Tom thumping the ball in after a rebounded shot from Toby. We continued having most of the play, and Toby also had a shot which hit the post. Lewis came back on to replace Toby before the final whistle went. Craig had a very quiet game, and didn’t have a shot to save. Final Score: 2-0. Man of the Match: Tom. Managers Comments: The Manager played a blinder?!! We were much better in the second half. Taverham v Poringland Team: Tom, Craig, Oakley, Damon, Toby, Taylor and Luke. Sub: Lewis. Straight from the kick-off, Damon hit the ball and nearly scored. Poringland pushed forward, but their attack fizzled out. Toby then crossed and Craig scored an early goal to make it 1-0. We then had some defending to do, Poringland had a free shot, but their player put it over. From a Poringland corner Tom tipped the ball over the bar. Oakley then had a long range shot for us, which came off the opposition for a corner, but this came to nothing. Craig then had a shot/cross from the right, and Damon headed in to make it 2-0. Half-time: 2-0. The second half started with Luke and Toby combining well, with Craig hitting just wide from the resulting pass. We were continuing to play well. Lewis came on for Luke. The game slowed down for a time, both teams seeming content with things as they were. We then got a corner, and Toby swung it in, straight into the net for a great third goal. We were looking comfortable, and although Poringland did have other attacks, they came to nothing. Final Score: 3-0. Man of the Match: Taylor. Managers Comments: A fully deserved victory, to round off a great season. We improved from finishing fifth last year, to be third this. Another great achievement was that every single player scored a goal! |
