Our manager asked for a good response today and he got it; a good all round performance boys! After a sloppy game last week against Brixington we desparetly needed a win to try and keep our division 2 status alive. We struggled to get a firm grip on the game at the start; looking a bit edgy to get a tackle in, but that was soon wiped as some great break away football resulted in an excellent goal by Francis.
From there we were the better side creating opportunities, some via the shear speed of Matt Williams surging runs down the wing. Despite the dirty tackles from some of the Kentisbeare players, we continued to pile on the pressure resulting in a great goal from Matt Williams to make sure went into half-time with a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Playing up hill and against the wind in the second half it was going to be hard work to extend our lead but that was by sure what we done - an awesome strike from Zak Milling which gave us a real boost, not long into the second half. Shortly after, Kentisbeare came fighting back and got a goal themselves to make it 3-1.
There on Kentisbeare put themselves into good positions, continuing to test our defence. With 10 minutes left the crowd were getting a bit edgy that we might concede another goal but with one last break near the end of the match Andrew Lapworth converted a great close range shot; the final result ended up as 4-1 to united.
Every single player showed what they are capable of, showing how much we have improved throughout the season. Now we are on 23 points, more importantly 4 above the relegation zone. Our next game is on Wednesday 23rd April against CS leopards at home which will be another vital game as they are only 1 point below us in the fight to avoid the drop. After we have got Colyton and Okehampton away.....fingers crossed. Then to round of a season of highs and lows we have lympstone away on the final day of the season ( 3rd May). COME ON UNITED!!!!!!!
