Central United 4-0 Exeter Panthers

Well done chaps for getting the job done yesterday and another clean sheet too.  If you've not done already check out the stats page on the blog http://centralunitedfc.blogspot.co.uk/p/stats-zone.html  We are the only team to have conceding goals in single figures.

Another stat for you, apart from Bideford we are the only team in all 3 divisions not to lose a league game this season - great achievement!

Back to the game, it was a really subdued and quiet start from both teams but went ahead with a bit of good fortune when a speculative shot from George took a deflection to loop over the head of the Panther's keeper.  Within seconds of Andrew coming on as sub midway through the first half he made it 2-0 by being in the right place at the right time to tap home a good cross into the box from George.

At 2-0 the game was by no means over and Panther's went close a few times. Our captain pulled of one of the best saves i've ever seen diving low to his right to parry away a powerful close range shot.  

In the second half Andrew got on the scoresheet again with nicely placed left foot shot into the corner and Marcus made it 4-0 braking clear through on goal, one on one with the keeper and producing a very composed finish.

Man of the Match this week goes to Andrew, not only scoring 2 important goals but for his improved awareness and link up play - well done Andrew!

This was another game where I think we under estimated the opposition as Panther's were a better side than their league position suggests.  Next week we have Brixington United who beat us twice last season so trust me when I say it will be a tough match and one where you will need to turn up raring to go.

If you left a light blue hoody behind yesterday  you can claim it at training tomorrow night.
