Central United 2 v 2 Tiverton Youth
A close fought match yesterday boys but we were really unlucky not to get all 3 points having been 2-0 up and seemingly in full control of the game.
I thought the lack of recent matches showed in the first 15 minutes as we looked a bit ragged and disorganised but we certainly found our rhythm in the last 15 of the half when we played some lovely football and fully deserved to go ahead just before half time from a superb solo effort by Matthew Williams who slotted home from an acute angle.
Shortly into the second half Zak Milling did well to guide Francis' shot out of the keepers path and into the net putting us 2-0 up. At this point we seem to think the game was won but Tiverton had other ideas and to their credit they didn't give up. Both of their goals came from corners but could have been avoided if we set up correctly (match rustiness again i'd say!), as per the hand out I gave you before Christmas so we will go over this on Monday but if you could refer back to it before then that would be good.
I know you were all disappointed not to get the win but that shows how far you've come as at the start of the season you would have been really pleased with the result. Our last 5 matches read, won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 which is good form so keep it up.
Francis wins the captains armband for the next game for being at the heart of most of our attacks, creating our second goal and for showing great skill and composure on the ball which was a pleasure to watch.
Worth a mention
Pacey set a great example working tirelessly in midfield with some great tackling and penetrating runs at the Tiverton defence - big well done! Joseph and Asher showed much improvement in their distribution down the right wing.
See you tomorrow!
PS. Thanks parents for taking down the goals and putting them away - it's a big help.

Exeter City Day
For those who attended the Exeter City Day yesterday, I hope you all had a good time. It's a shame you didn't see a City win but at least you got to cheer a goal........eventually! The first City goal I have seen in the last 5 matches i've been to, so I was glad to buck that trend!!
Congratulations to Joseph in picking up a medal for winning the penalty competition in his age group.
