Sidmouth Raiders 2-5 Central United

Well done on another win that takes us joint top of the league.  We did make quite hard work of it for a while but then I did make a lot of changes that I think prevented us from settling into any sort of rhythm.  Having said that we scored more goals today than in both games put together against Sidmouth last season and it could have quite easily have been more. 

Another positive is that a couple of things we have worked on in training came to fruition in the game.  Marcus scored a brilliant glancing header from a perfect corner by George (I think this is our first ever........headed goal from a corner I mean, not first perfect corner George!). I did promise a small reward to the first person to score this way, so I will hand this out on Monday - good work Marcus, I didn't expect it to happen so soon!  We also scored from an excellent ball in across the face of goal by Pacey for George to cooly slot home past the keeper; again this was good to see.  

Other goals came from Marcus, George with one of his spectacular long range free-kicks, which is becoming bit of a trademark and Pacey who instinctivley hammered home a shot from outside the box after Marcus' forced a good save by their keeper.  

Man of the Match this week goes to Asher for his improved defensive play and also his calm, intelligent distribution down down the left wing - well done Asher! 

See you Monday chaps!
